BJ and his crew certainly dithered tho. I wonder how much input Cummings had. We'll never know of course as he's a c**t. FTFY 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I see the amateur epidemiologists are still out in force. If you 1) are not an epidemiologist and 2) have not seen the evidence used by the CMOs and the 4 administrations, your opinion on what should or should not have been done is worthless. You've no way of knowing who's right and who's wrong. It's like a dog giving you advice on how to put up shelves. I've seen doctors be wrong on the epidemiology, because they don't realise how discrete the discipline is. They talk about stopping the virus, while epidemiologists say that's not possible. This isn't like criticising your club's manager for who they pick at left back, this is real stuff. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I wasn't referring to most, just the ones that are assuming the level of expertise that I do when watching a sport I haven't seen in 4 years at the Olympics. But that's just for fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW in the last two games Neilson played Mark Reynolds ahead of Jamie Robson at left back. Crazy stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Laugh all you like but I don't have my toilet breaks monitored or have to ask permission to take a day off and nobody bullies me or gets me to do anything I don't want to do. I'll take crippling uncertainty and wildly fluctuating income over being humiliated like that any day of the week. Brrrrrrrr.......shiver.....This is the Covid-19 “Hearts Daft makes 9.50 an hour, champ” response isn’t it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epidemiologists aren’t actually in charge of policy though: which is why every country in Europe has set up different and contradictory measures at a comparable rate of cases. It is the politicians who pick and choose what measures to take by weighing up public health advice alongside economic and countless other calculations as well. So it’s Boris Johnson (and by extension Sturgeon) whose judgment is actually being questioned here, not your beloved ‘health expert’ just nodding along in the corner after the decision of the day is made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are proposing an ultra extreme and unattainable 'solution'. There would always be someone who would want to trade. Ultra extreme yes, unattainable I don't think so. I think we're in a pretty extreme situation currently. Which is going to unfortunately get worse. Out of interest. Once this situation has improved what would you suggest? Anything or just carry on again? Or thank the Chinese for their virus? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 You don’t need to be an epidemiologist to realise the Tories don’t have the best interests of the majority of the population at the heart of their Covid-19 response. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no fan of Sturgeon but she has zero leeway on this. All she’s got is being briefed in advance of the action required and she’s go the advantage of being light enough on her feet to be able to get the news out to us before BoJo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
