cyderspaceman Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Quote Macron said France would start returning to normal life on 11 May, if citizens were “civic, responsible and respected the rules” – and if the number of cases of coronavirus continued to drop. At least I've got a date to look forward to. Mibbes. I have a visit to Scotland overdue. Get your act together UK . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Regarding Sweden, if they get a huge spike of cases then it’ll seem like a catastrophic policy but if their cases then subsided it would work out better in the longer run. Perhaps when this is all looked back at in a few years their approach worked better.The difficulty is what a huge spike actually means - an overwhelmed health service means people dying of starvation, dehydration, choking to death without medical help. If that happens to thousands of people, is if acceptable? I read an article rebutting the thread on Twitter by Toby Young about the balance between economic costs and deaths and it put it very wellin a scenario where hundreds of thousands of people were dying, the NHS would become overwhelmed and the average age of the people dying would likely fall, so the number of life-years lost is probably an underestimate, and possibly an enormous one if the average age of death fell as the NHS had to prioritise younger patients. And the misery involved would be appalling. It would mean people dying in their beds alone at home, some of dehydration and starvation alongside their pneumonia, with no palliative care of any kind.Maybe Sweden can find the balance by shielding and cocooning vulnerable people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s more likely to be into June to try and avoid idiots using the bank holiday at the end of May as an occasion to camp/caravan etc etc. Was there not reports of 500 caravans being turned back from Cornwall this weekend? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 The BBC have published quotes from Jason Leitch saying the story about supplies for Scotland being diverted to England is “rubbish”. Nicola Sturgeon said Jeanne Freeman is going to raise it directly with Matt Hancock but that they don’t think it is happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Sweden are proven to be correct in their approach, I don't think we could draw comparisons with our position, although the loudest voices would. We've had 40 years of 'look after number one' from top to bottom in the UK, far too many c***s per head of population to do similar IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is doing a good job throughout this pandemic. He's being a tit. She didn't know the numbers, she admitted it and didn't try to avoid the question. A decent interviewer would have asked more questions rather than just grandstanding. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
