Coronavirus - is enough being done to contain it?

The more holes you pick in the government response the more you come down on the police side

I'll pick 8pm, just after someone gets a mauling at the daily briefing trying to defend him, and a few ministers finally grow a backbone and tell Boris 'him or us'

7pm

Singapore University are predicting when the corona virus will end. Their modellers have worked it out that the pandemic will end on September 30th. And there won't be a 2nd wave.

Didn't some other university predict a different date

I'll also pick 5:30 because i reckon it'll be breaking news right after the latest briefing and then backbencher will force Boris into a reshuffle

we could all be wrong lol
Bet it's Raab ho sacks him not Boris

Cummings has been called to Downing St today. So it may be sooner than later.

Just to clear up a couple of points.
A reshuffle is only needed if cabinet ministers need moving or replacing, not an adviser.
Paliament is on a recess till June 2nd.
Boris would look very weak if he bowed to pressure from backbenchers.
Cummings is the senior advisor to Boris and as so only Boris can replace him.
Cummings will probably be pushed into resigning rather than be sacked.

But apart from these you are probably accurate with your assumptions.

He already caved to backbenchers over the NHS surcharge. A few of them have been waiting for a sniff of Cummings blood, and now they have it...

Could be Boris himself at tonight's briefing. After he discovers everyone else has inexplicably been called away at short notice

He'll cut a very lonely figure at the briefing if the experts decide enough is enough as well

Boris doing the Briefing whats the betting hold an enquiry for 6 months so he wont be able to answer questions on it for predujicing the enquiry where he will get a report and then sit on it like he did the russian report

I'll say it's 1-2 on for an inquiry and 5-1 nothing is done with it
