I notice that the issue of “why is Germany able to do significantly more testing than us” and “why is Germany controlling this better than us” is being raised by journalists but not being answered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Both the Mayor of London and the Health Secretary have made it clear this morning restrictions will not be relaxed next week it's how they word the extension that will be key. Khan now saying the latest info he has is no peak expected for another 7-10 days despite earlier suggestions it may come over Easter. It's all part of the can kicking tactic to spoon feed the lockdown to make it psychologically more palatable. The businesses I know, including my own, had anticipated reopening on Monday 13 April. I don’t think that should happen but clear guidance is needed, and not at 8.30 on a Monday evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also favoured China’s truncheons to the face lockdown policy at the time when the media was whining about the people of Wuhan’s precious feelings and welt marks: a no fucks given policy that has proven to be a highly successful in the medium never mind long term. On 23/03/2020 at 11:18, virginton said: No, the most sensible thing is to take regular outdoor exercise while following strict social distancing measures at all times. And then washing your hands as soon as you get in the door. Only those who can't follow those rules gets a truncheon in the face. People seem to be massively underestimating the serious mental and physical strains that twelve weeks or more of shutting yourself between four walls would have on anyone in the general population. The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. VT was in favour of a Chinese-style lockdown. VT had always been in favour of a Chinese-style lockdown.

They actually announced tougher restrictions last night and more powers to the Police. Havnt announced a lockdown extension but its expected today or tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly we're now starting to record an upsurge in figures, however by most accounts the Hospitals have been rather quiet over the past few weeks, as such I'd like to know how many deaths were actually recorded during February and start of March when the wards were much busier but COVID-19 was not something which we were testing. My insinuation being that this has most probably been hitting us in clusters since February. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a justified criticism of the lack of clarity and direction. If there’s going to be an extension to the lockdown is should be announced today or tomorrow. I’d be happy with an extension to all non-essential businesses and maybe restrictions as to what can be ordered on-line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 1 hour ago, hk blues said: The theory is sound, the implementation is less so. How do you resolve the issue of tax havens? To say they can no longer exist isn't going to wash. We already know a percentage of rich will go live somewhere else under the current less strict tax regimen - how many more under a much stricter one? Tax havens could be dealt with really quite effectively under the current regime without their consent. The UK, US and Netherlands (in particular) tax codes have some fairly slack loopholes to sabotage the effectiveness of their own regimes that are supposed to combat havens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
