I wouldn’t turn off your fire alarm, it tells you if there is a fire in your house. That’s useful. The Covid App on the other hand tells you to self isolate if a Covid positive person enters an establishment that you vacated up to 23 hours earlier. The Covid App is so utterly useless it will...

I don’t think you can say that the response has been “Don’t do anything” This government has done a lot. Everything they have done has been poorly thought out, ineffective, unnecessarily expensive, badly managed, riddled with incompetence and fallen on deaf ears. So they have been busy. From...

Wanting to engage with the battle against Covid, I installed the App early on. I should have known it would turn out to be a sack of ****. I’m disappointed with myself for believing that they’d make a good job of test & trace. Can you remember Matt Handcock saying the App would be the cherry...

Love it, flecc’s fluffer :-) flecc is ace. We go back a long way. Annoyingly, he’s always right with his take on things.

That App should be shelved up Dido Harding’s chuff. Third rack on the left, just past the entrance. I’ve tried to do the right thing, but now I’ve taken it off my phone. It’s a complete waste of time, effort and money.

All you can do is stand back and watch what is about to happen with feelings of horror and sadness. Do you remember Ryan Air’s “Jab & Go” advert? That was banned, but they do enormous damage.

We’ve done it people. Nearly 52K new infections today, and they said it would take us until 19/07 to reach 50K. Hospitalisation is racing towards 1000 / too, but that figure is 4 days old when we had about 30K / day new infections. We could be well past 1000 going into hospital / day by now...

I disagree. He’s not losing it, he actually lost it a long time ago.

The government have made plenty of mistakes and got very little right. This time the government is buckling due to public pressure and growing disobedience in terms of following advice. If people are determined not to wear a face mask, determined to socialise in very close proximity to large...

Yes, those cases are very disturbing indeed and I feel for those workers who will be forced to face large numbers of the public after Johnson’s mask burning day on Monday. Those workers have been betrayed and badly let down by this government. However, even more cases of Covid will develop due...

I totally agree with most of that, but leadership and clarity has been very poor. Lack of leadership will have caused many unnecessary deaths, but by no means all of them.

Just keep yourself safe and let the crash test dummies go over the top and into Covid oblivion.

We are ahead of schedule. 50K infections / day was forecast by 19/07. We’ve hit 48.5K today, so things are looking good for us to achieve, or even exceed the specified target. Deaths, we’re doing 63 / day at the moment, but I’m certain we can get it much higher than that.

What is your solution? What would you do that is not being done now (furlough, social distancing laws and mandatory face masks are not working). Explain how your strategy would cause the public to behave differently to how they are today and hence reduce infections. I think flecc is right...

50K / day was predicted by 19/07. It’s really going to accelerate from Monday onwards when the public become responsible for their own destiny.

I despair when Boris Johnson subcontracts our safety to the great British public. This morning in The Daily Mail, the first thing I saw was a photograph constructed by three members of the same public who are now partially responsible for my safety. One had pushed a firework up his arse. The...

Is that strictly correct? Maybe it’s true for those cloth masks made from disused underpants, but I thought FFP3 masks were supposed to provide close to 100% protection for the wearer. Now they are available, I use FFP3 masks when I have no alternative but to go indoors and mix with strangers...

The biggest and most deadly problem is a total lack of leadership. Boris Johnson is effectively holding the pub door open whilst simultaneously saying to people, I wouldn’t go in there, it’s dangerous. People don’t really know what to do. Boris Johnson says, wear a mask in confined spaces, and...

We’ve done the New Zealand thing. There’s a bloke called Derek and a sheep living there. It’s much easier to control. Put the New Zealand government in charge over here and they’d do better than Johnson, but there would be more deaths than they had in New Zealand. It has a lot to do with...

I disagree that flecc can’t disagree. I for one agree with flecc’s decision to disagree with you. But, I agree, you are likely to disagree with my decision to agree with flecc’s disagreement. On this I guess you & I must agree to disagree. I hope you agree.
