Boris has spoken!!! We’ve nothing to worry about then.I see that this Indian variant is raging out of control!
Cases lower this week than last, hospital admissions and patients continuing to decline and deaths down to 7 after there were 20 reported on the same day last week. Today’s death figure of 7 is the lowest reported on a Tuesday since the start of the pandemic, apart from September 1 which was the day after a bank holiday.
And in another positive sign, Boris has said he does not see ‘anything conclusive’ to suggest the path out of lockdown may be altered by the spread of the Indian coronavirus variant.
BoomFor now
A bit of caution makes sense though don’t you think until it’s obvious opening up isn’t gonna cause a big spike.I’ll take smugness over pessimism
Yes smugness over pessimism and Guardian articles with the latest doom-mongering from a SAGE scientist desperate to stay relevant and hog the limelight. What variant will it be next?I’ll take smugness over pessimism
You do realise death figures lag case figures by about 8 days.
Let’s not bother then, what’s few more old folk in the mortuary matter, won’t be a significant enough number for anyone to notice nor to bump the % death figure up, the Gov won’t look any worse than they do already.Ahh that old chestnut! Give it two weeks to be sure.
128,000 dead, & 'Ill take smugness over pessimism' marvellous.
What 128,00 dead - that old chestnut.
Something around here utterly disgusts me. Again.
I suppose its hysterical to think so.
That’s as meaningful as saying I’ll take Lulu Lytle over JohnLewis.I’ll take smugness over pessimism
My comment about smugness was only designed to be light-hearted after what jimbob75 said.
Being pessimistic isn’t good either
I think it was offensive
I think the offence was taken not to my post but post 827.Please Sir, it was Bob McC wot said it Sir
As opposed to say a forum sock puppet desperate for same?Yes smugness over pessimism and Guardian articles with the latest doom-mongering from a SAGE scientist desperate to stay relevant and hog the limelight. What variant will it be next?
Nothing offensive. My comments have been taken completely out of context.I think it was offensive
