It matters little what folk say, it's what they do that's important which is why i rarely watch speeches at all, Q&A situations are slightly different. Unless it gets lost in the upcoming Brexit omnishambles then this is going to make the BSE scandal look like a well run operation. The fallout from this north and south of the border should be massive and rightly so. One thing found out yesterday was in Operation Cygnus the conclusions included insufficient PPE with recommendations made that it would have to be bought in from outside. This would have found its way to the Foreign Sec of the day Boris Johnson so he's potentially ignored/ fucked up the PPE problem twice!

Kay Burley. She is a horrible presenter, really poor at her job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty disturbing assumption that you have jumped to there, although given your past posting history I'm not survived. You strike me as the wee fat know it all kid at school that even his parents hated and you've resented life ever since. Your ‘assumption’ is totally incorrect. Good try however.

Other similar size countries reacted quicker and better whilst she opted to go along with Boris. Only now is she trying to do what is right for us. Other similar sized countries aren't part of a buckled Union that we are chained to. At the outset, she was walking a bit of a tightrope because if she was seen doing her own thing from the word go the Britnat press up here would have had a field day accusing her of undermining Wastemonster. But it was clear she had had enough of the Government's dithering and knew she had to take action. She would have acted like Leo Varadkar and locked down well in advance but knew she would have copped the inevitable backlash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThistleWhistle Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Fuck me the BBC outdid itself there. NS hasn't criticised Boris, won't criticise Boris but she is really. Then we went straight to Wales being politically motivated. Then two minutes later we were back in Aberdeen to tell us Scotland's, Wales and NI's R number is higher so England's is better.

aaid Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Just watched the Boris Johnson press conference,. I say press conference as I think the only had four members of the press asking questions, the rest were "random" members of the public. i can only assume that they used Question Time to select them. There was one person from Scotland, a guy from East Lothian. His question - and I'm not making this up - was. "Given the different messages coming from London and Edinburgh, who should I pay attention to given you are my Prime Minister and we are all one United Kingdom" Away off to Twitter now to find out which flute band he's in.

exile Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 7 hours ago, ThistleWhistle said: I agree totally our response hasn't been good enough and I’d have much preferred her go our own way from the off but can you imagine the reaction!! It will have ultimately cost lives but yet she’s now got an absolute free hit because the Scottish Tories told her we should all respond together yet their party broke a union wide response. They’ll obviously spin some bollocks to cover it up but plenty of folk will see through it. She is now also fully authorised to plough our own furrow so at the end can say our original performance, although better than UK, could possibly have been better if we’d gone our own way from the off. We’d then be in a bizarre position where the opposition could be arguing we should have acted independently from the start whilst SNP defending acting in concert with the UK government!! Agreed, she's damned if she does and damned if she doesn't (follow the UK line). As you say, the latest debacle means she can say it was Johnson who broke the "all 4 nations together" consensus. Having a land border with England (which was and still is completely unprotected from incoming potential virus carriers) must also have something to do with it, compared with Ireland for example.

If you guys are getting tested on a regular basis, those results could be very interesting. I hope these results are being passed on to somebody who can study them, even if it's on an anonymous basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How deaths are reported, I'm not sure if Holland is reporting care home deaths like Belgium. The amount of excess deaths is much higher in Holland. Also Hollands health care systemwas a leader in the management of hospital acquired infections especially MRSA Could be cannabis is protective and chocolate makes it worse 😇 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shocked when they said we were getting the antibody test as i never knew there was a reliable one authorised. Maybe this is a trial for a specific type of antibody test.

Recent paper on this subject https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.25.20074856v1 This is a major issue with ongoing management and easing lockdown. You need a reliable serology test with low false negatives. Think about the concept of a COVID passport, if some countries are using tests with an unacceptable false negative rate the you could easily have someone entering a country thinking they are immune but could actually be carrying the virus.
