Coronavirus (COVID-19)


Recommended Posts

I'm pretty sure he passed off the death toll at the start because it's nowhere near the projection of 500k.

Yes he did. Only the second highest death toll in the world. Fantastic! What a load of pish from the bumbling twat. He's just a load of soundbites, over emphasis on every second word and over use of superlatives. Like a British trump

Should as she simply can't make that call legislatively. Nonsense that someone will be able to meet work colleagues in a socially distant manner but you cannot do likewise with friends and relatives. Totally baffling !

Is she saying ‘have to’ or ‘should’?

As long as the social distancing measures are in place i don't see why some sort of work cannot take place. 

I sympathise but I know from experience that social distancing on a building site is difficult on many occasions and impossible on some.  

I’ve said on here many times that collectively we need to minimise the spread of the virus, we cannot eliminate it.  If construction was halted until the virus was completely ended then the economic impact would be immeasurable.

He said that now the infection rate was going down, now we can impose restrictions on arrivals. Most misleading part of his statement I think.

Surely that point was three fucking months ago. Bumbling fucking idiot

Exactly. I don’t know why the rate of infection in the UK would have any bearing on the fact that you should quarantine new arrivals.

There is logic to this. I’m not smart enough to say what it is, but some German scientist was on the Today programme yesterday explaining why.

No but she’s entitled to say that x, y or z should happen in her opinion.  She is the FM of Scotland giving advice; it’s up to people and business whether or not to take that advice.

There is going to be some amount of Employer Liability claims in the next few months now. Employees claiming they caught Coronavirus at work and the employer didn't adhere to correct social distancing rules or PPE. Getting people back to work prematurely is mental.

Key construction hasn’t stopped though - only non essential construction.

Announce the standards, let companies implement them then reopen for business.

What a fucking mess

There absolutely is a certification for businesses for which they can apply to have their approach assessed and rubber stamped.

Presumably to prevent exactly what HSF mentioned above.

Geisler just asked Sturgeon "so I can now walk around a park several times in one day but I can't sit down and have a picnic...why is that?".

 

Geisler maybe getting his snickers in a twist.

Not even close. Nobody will come close to Theresa’s ineptitude.

I would still trust Theresa May do have dealt with this better.

Surely there is a case for David Cameron being the worst anyway

Her answer was well short of convincing.

Yeah the picnics are the biggest issue here, fair play to him!

As I’ve already said, I saw workers on a construction site within the last week.  They were building houses; that is non-essential.
