Is blowing your own trumpet some kind of an English characteristic? From what I saw of Nicola she did appear to demonstrating more of a sense of humility with her announcements. It's called Triumphalism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 He's unbelievable bad. It's a fucking disgrace that c**t has so much influence right now. Yeah the deputy guys are actually more impressive tbh. Edit the science guys I mean 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell, it would be only having London that would make any difference in policy. Nicola is no longer in COBRA, so not sure we are charting the same course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I don't blame China, would you trust any of these b*****ds? Yes. This is the elite medical expertise that is being utilised. It’s not just a bunch of Tory MPs winging things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 3 hours ago, Forest_Fifer said: From wikipedia ( yeah, I know, bite me) Although procedures vary from one field of inquiry to another, they are frequently the same from one to another. The process of the scientific method involves making conjectures (hypotheses), deriving predictions from them as logical consequences, and then carrying out experiments or empirical observations based on those predictions.[5][6] A hypothesis is a conjecture, based on knowledge obtained while seeking answers to the question. The hypothesis might be very specific, or it might be broad. Scientists then test hypotheses by conducting experiments or studies. A scientific hypothesis must be falsifiable, implying that it is possible to identify a possible outcome of an experiment or observation that conflicts with predictions deduced from the hypothesis; otherwise, the hypothesis cannot be meaningfully tested.[7] Make conjecture Derive PREDICTIONS from the conjecture Test predictions. That's the key. No reproducibility means that predictions have to be treated with caution. I'm not saying ignore the scientists but we have to acknowledge that they got it dramatically wrong with bird flu, swine flu, SARS and BSE. They were also wildly wrong in the 1970s when they predicted a mini ice age. So politicians should listen to what they say and also be a bit sceptical because their track record is shite. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not just a bunch of Tory MPs winging things. If that were the case then the pubs etc. would have been shut from February 11 and schools from February 26, which is what the government’s own ‘scientific pandemic influenza groups’ suggested. The government didn’t bother following up that advice for weeks and so here we are. So the strategy here has in fact been that of a government winging things from start to finish. Just because it wheels out a rotating cast of stooges to sell the same party line to the general public (as opposed to contradicting each other and destroying all trust immediately) does not mean that its decisions have been guided by credible science.

Western countries are pretty much on the same curve. Sweden gaining ground after a poor start. The US to storm into the lead as the month progresses.
