Coronavirus - is enough being done to contain it?

Some one needs to carry the can for this cock up for sure., and we all know BOJO will try to wash his hands of it but shit will stick...

There will also be a fair few people who died of Covid but hadn’t been tested so won’t count in the current figures. Wonder how they will deal with that anomaly.

If you think the Prime Minister is responsible for counting deaths you are mistaken! It's the responsibility of Public Health England and has probably made little difference so far BUT when we get seasonal peaks of deaths from Flu would be very problematic. To quote one commentator you would never get down to zero deaths under the current system until everyone who had ever had Covid 19 had died

That's already covered by the Dr who signs the Death Certificate. If they suspect Covid played a part they have to say so.

He did announce that there would the largest flu vaccination ever carried out in this country for the winter ahead, but as usual I'll have to pay for mine...

But how many were possibley signed as a COVID death when the victim's GP knew their medical history and only signed it off as a Covid death and nothing else? for this to be even be made knowledge publicly at this stage of the pandemeic beggars belief tbh.

I like Boris's new 3 word slogan 'Over by Christmas'.
Just like WW1.

Let's face it - the majority of people are fuckwits - if only there was a deadly disease that would just wipe most of us out.

Making my first trip over the border since covid started, today

Wish me luck

Think about looking out some really old clothes, then I can just burn them all when i get back

might be a good idea
