Seems a very odd approach. I can't see that lasting long. Is it in response to a lot of children breaking the rules or something?

Research has pointed towards children not passing this on very easoly. Whereas with the flu they are the motor of the epidemic, with covid it seems young adults are the motor

Yes I agree Piers is doing well lately. I guess enough is enough for him.

Well, people do break the rules there like anywhere, but the police give our fines and question a lot of people when out. I'd say the UK, being more lax, has more people ignoring social distancing.

Deaths are a poor yardstick as they lag about four weeks behind what is actually happening. New ICU admissions are a better picture along with the Reproduction rate.

Germany has started easing and our R-Rate has bounced back up to 0,9 from 0,7 according to the RKI. Merkel has us all under strict warning to behave but people are dumb as f*** and I could quite easily and realistically see us back on lockdown before mid-May with a proper scolding from Angela

 

Surely that would be Angela's or the federal governments fault if lockdown returns to Germany in may 😁

Not even slightly. The states are all relaxing at different rates and in different ways. She can’t control people acting like utter fannies.

 

 

If I remember rightly, NRW opened all shops regardless of size on Monday and Berlin point blank refused to let anything open until today

Germany is not so much different to the US states such as South Carolina and Georgia in this case. In both cases I think its much too early to ease lockdowns in these places.

 

Speaking of America, unlucky Oklahoma and Texas now have tornadoes and damaging hail at the same time as the coronavirus. :(

VIVE LA FRANCE

 

Did not realise we were the only Western country to have less testing than Britain oops

But the death rate in France although still high seems to be thankfully going down now.

I’m glad Sturgeon has laid out some of her plans of ending lockdown, I haven’t been too impressed with everything the SNP have done so far although the standard of NHS Scotland which is better funded because of the SNP has made a huge difference.

 

Yes I agree Piers is doing well lately. I guess enough is enough for him.

The fact it takes Piers bloody Morgan to hold the government to account says a lot though :’( (the state of our media)

Seen a clip of Angela saying that she is worried about the states opening up too quickly!

Nicola is a gift from god. The UK is a disaster putting pride before everything. The government that us, the health service and care workers are a wonderful asset & don't get enough praise or benefits. The fact that nurses have to pay to park their cars at the hospital every day is just insulting frankly.

Can we talk about the fact that Ttump suggested a study about injecting desinfectant into someones bloodstream to clean the virus....

and his supporters will still rabidly support him.....

 

He’s the absolute worst type of person to be in charge of such an international crisis. Most leaders of the world are likely out of their depth with this but there’s out of your depth and them at the bottom of the ocean

Holy f***. He’s officially hit a new low

He can't go a day without being the centre of attention. Helps his reelection chances.

 

That is, unless people start following his advice, because then they won't make it to November. Won't die of COVID though.

 

"Conservatives" are desperate for a quick fix, doesn't matter who'll die, and probably someone mentioned how good these things are at cleaning, and his moronic mind ended up turning it into bleach homeopathy.

I'd like to see him try that...

Talking out of his arse again, Trump.

I am grateful to Susie Dent for reminding me of the wonderful word ultracrepidarian - one who consistently offers opinions and advice on subjects beyond their understanding.

Wrong thread.
