Simply beyond belief. Its been an utter shambles since the day the lying Bozo claimed he had shook hands with hospitalised Covid patients 3 or 4 weeks ago despite the hospital at the time having zero patients with it
Utter shambles and it still is as I type with people still wandering around the streets careless and not giving a shit
All because of that waffling arm waving baboon of a Prime Minister

I wonder how poor Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe feels knowing the idiot has Covid. Perhaps there is a God in her case as it appears she may be completely released now as an act of clemency

One other point I'd like to make is that much as I hink Bojo is a twat it's not his fault people are ignoring the guidelines and have done since the start. It's a much more damning indictment of the selfish British public than him.

Then make the penalty draconian £500 on the spot fine with £5000 for a 2nd case. Just do it Boris. That should clarify the minds of the morons walking around. As I'm looking after my 82 year old dementia ridden mother I'm out more than most but the amount of people clearly not caring for vulnerable people shopping for food or pharmacies is now off the scale
People walking dogs holding hands. Groups hanging around Mutley. Cars usage definately now back up to 50% plus of normal pre lockdown

What is evident is that we need in future not to allow China to manufacture all our requirements.

We need to support our own industries... even if in the end it costs more.

The world literally came to a stop when China couldn't supply our every need and we started looking for alternative suppliers.... and that struggling firm around the corner started to come alive again.....until Coronavirus closed the UK down as well.

Hopefully we've learnt a lesson for the future when this virus is beaten.

Financially too. everything shuts down for eight days and no one has any money/reserve funds.........

As soon as this shite is over it will be business as usual. Tory and Capitalist dogma demands it.

Cheap is best, except where consultants, advisers and bribes are concerned.

Boris Churchill and Trump, or their surviving successors, will sweep to victory standing on piles of their dead country men.

The majority will ensure that.

Company I work for had just started to pick up after 2 years of financial loss then bosh ..corona virus. Don’t know if the company can survive post COVID 19 without balancing on the brink or laying off.
UK just seems to teter from one crisis to another these days, Wars in the Middle East, ISIS, terrorism, Migrants, Brexit and now this.
One things for sure the planet won’t go on for another 500 years at this rate. Wake me up when this nightmare is over.

lol Punchy I think after realisation has finally dawned that we need our European partners more than ever has ended Brexit talk for ever. No way on earth can that continue now.
If it means we have to reapply to join then get it done.

Lol harve.

European Partners ?
WTF Harve?
Seems to me every European nation has been cast adrift to fend for themselves when the shit hit the fan.
Haven’t heard a squeek from the asteemed EU for weeks now. I think they’re all quivering under the table.
In fact the last thing I heard was a demand from Ursula Van Wotnot not to close borders & continue free movement between nations. That would have worked wouldn’t it.
If anything this has shown the EU to be superfluous to all our requirements, first real crisis of our time & they’re completely AWOL.

Generally not too bad around where I live (Pennycross), people are by and large from what I have seen screwing the nut. People can still walk the dog together as long as theyre from the same household, or go in their cars to buy food from the shops because UK government has said that they can. Until Bojo outlaws that then theyre not breaking any rules.

Meanwhile, where it all began

wet markets continue and nothing being done to prevent something like this happening again.

I was reading some stuff yesterday about the wet markets and the various viruses that could be lurking within them. Only takes a slight mutation for a virus to jump from animals to humans, apparently. These wet markets are ideal breeding grounds for god knows what virus.

Covid-19 is baffling - and surprising - scientists world wide with its uniqueness and intensity. The virus has mutated greatly since it entered the human chain - there are one or two reports suggesting the virus was picking up pace as early as mid November in China - and it was only in December that the scale of this started to surface. The rest as they say, is history. The stats are astonishing of how quick covid-19 has moved around the globe.

I see senior ministers in the UK are now having a dig at China over this pandemic and rightly so. I wonder if any country will try to claim some form of compensation from China due to the chaos we are witnessing.

Just read a report on the possible outcome of social unrest within Europe during this crisis. People are running out of money and food in the various lockdowns, turning to desperate measures to feed themselves.

Went up to the local co-op earlier and plenty of bare shelves still.

And we could face lockdown until June at the earliest, with more restrictions being put in place.

No it's not and it has been proven by scientists to be a
natural virus.

The world should be united in condemning China harder than any other nation in history for their lies and trying to cover this up and demanding an end to wet markets at once, compensation i think will be harder to get. Other than trump i cant see any leader pushing for that.

There will be a massive recession when this is over, i reckon ten years before the country gets back to where it was. We need a speccy superhero and his dim witted loyal man servant to drag the world back from the edge, where the fook can we find one?

No. Don't make a fool of yourself.

The analysis of public genome sequence data from SARS-CoV-2 and related viruses found no evidence that the virus was made in a laboratory or otherwise engineered.

“By comparing the available genome sequence data for known coronavirus strains, we can firmly determine that SARS-CoV-2 originated through natural processes,” said Kristian Andersen, PhD, an associate professor of immunology and microbiology at Scripps Research and corresponding author on the paper.

Surely the first thing you would develop with any bio weapon is an adequate defence for your own people and troops?

Exactly!

wuhan does have bio factories capable of making these diseases but i agree that its not the case this time around and its down to chinese folk eating live diseased animals

The truth is, whatever the Chinese say, nobody really knows if this virus somehow escaped from a Wuhan laboratory or jumped species in a market.

What happened to Bob Crow ?


Like myself, I'm sure it's the apartheid regime in Israel that he has issues with, not all Jewish people. The same apartheid regime that was/is involved in interfering with our democracy. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

It did make me chuckle with Harve dissing Bojos handling of the crisis, which I would mark at about four out of ten btw, and made me think what would be happening with Corbyn in charge? Not a fookin lot I reckon.
