    We made it to 100,000 Covid deaths.
    Boris

    EDIT: 3rd worst in the world now in terms of deaths/million

    The country is lucky that the NHS is doing a good job with distributing the vaccine, because everything this government has done has been a fucking shambles.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    Whoever signed off on Eat Out to Help Out should be prosecuted.

    The sad thing is the Government has ordered the NHS to distribute the Vaccine against Scientific / Medical advice. The Vaccine program set out by the Government is 2 shots of the Vaccine within 12 weeks, the Scientists behind the Vaccine have stated that they have only ever trialed the Vaccine in the laboratory doing 2 shots within 3 weeks, it has not been tested over a 12 week period!!!

    Boris and his merry band of errr...staff need to be fired, this whole COVID programme over here is an absolute shambles.

    Tbf I don't think that was a big factor. Schools is the big one - they're like petri dishes and while the kids won't get ill they will spread it into the general population. Even in Tier 3 schools were open, all the shops were open, facilities like outdoor football pitches were open. All they did was shut pubs and restaurants but far too late to have any meaningful effect. Well, it did have an effect - restaurants who had stocked up on supplies for the Christmas trade got another kick in the bollocks by being shut down again. How are you supposed to run a business when you can be shut down with a day's notice?
    Then they told most of the country they could mix at Christmas.
    Then they opened the schools for one day, insisting they were safe, before shutting them
    Teachers have been thrown under the bus, gearing up for testing in schools and for the new term before having to scramble around setting up remote teaching again. And they've already cancelled all the exams anyway so you can understand kids who have struggled with remote learning anyway now having no motivation to do anything. And parents have been thrown under the bus because now they're having to help their kids with remote learning, many while trying to work full time too. Lucky for us the boy is only nursery age - although they are doing some remote stuff with him, I'm quite impressed - and MrsL is a "kept woman" anyway, so it hasn't really affected us too much.

    All in all the government have consistently been reactive, not proactive. It's been a complete shit show

    Not closing the borders early or at least tightening entry requirements for those coming here was the biggest fuck up of them all.
