Lots of questions about overeacting in this thread. Lots of people dismissing it. I guess the 'told you so moment' s just about to begin.dinny_g wrote: Wed Mar 01, 2023 6:49 pm Hindsight’s wonderful.
At the time these decisions were taken, people were dying from this in significant numbers in just about every country.
But you expected our leaders to ignore that, go for a pint at the Winchester and wait for it all to blow over???

So bang on the money that he went and caught it due to lack of precautions and had to be ventilated for days in hospital.
I don’t think it’s ever possible to justify anything based on Boris’s utterances. They blow like the wind and are rarely based in fact.

I'm happy for you to continue rebuffing facts as they appear.

If he hadn't been on a ventilator, it probably would have killed him.

Also people who were and induced into comas died. It was the wrong call.
Re: Coronavirus
My mistake, his oxy sat was so low that they very nearly did.
That makes it alright then, and totally not an utter embarrassment and a terrifying indictment of his own failings as a leader.

How much money did the guv spend on adverts telling you a load of codswallop?
Do you feel foolish for going along with it? I guess the answer is yes now for many many people.

Re: Coronavirus
These leaks really just showed that the government were more focussed on looking good than doing good imo.

Re: Coronavirus
I’m with him on that one…
We got a note from the school talking about my sons absences saying he had to improve or no Prom. One of the days he missed there was no Teachers in due to a strike.
I replied on Tuesday but I haven’t received a response yet… due to a strike.

If the tories want to take the next election seriously, they should get Sir Take into a safe seat.
Re: Coronavirus
It must be slow in the news at the moment, I've read a number of the messages released so far, and apart from slagging off teachers it's hardly incendiary stuff.
Even the one Broccers references above I see as Hancock trying to raise awareness of testing so that more people do it, which was surely a good thing at the time. I don't have a problem with them trying to hit a testing target by getting more people tested.
I'm still waiting for the message that actually shocks or surprises me, maybe it is to come, but so far so uninteresting.

You've clearly not read the Telegraph articles.
Re: Coronavirus
Why would anyone want to do that? It used to be a brilliant newspaper but it's absolutely awful these days.
