Liverpool receiving shipments of goods. Instead of them coming overland much of it is being shipped. 3500 containers on one vessel arrived today, with supplies of food, medical equipment, and another shipment next to it of grain and animal feed. These are the supplies we have been waiting for.
I really don't think it's fair for everything that's being done to be criticized , it's far worse in other countries and it doesn't give the boost to moral for those who are struggling to keep the country and the hospitals working.
Personally I have lost faith in human nature over this. If some consider the job is not being done properly , then get out and help. Think of those who might go without food this weekend because the shelves have been stripped, or even a cup of tea because they don't have any milk. The dog that needs a walk and maybe a tin of food .
Who heard Radio 1 today at 7.45am ? Radio stations across Europe all tuned in together and in unison played, 'You'll Never Walk Alone' ?

Awww, still bitter Corbyn didn't win and Labour got the bloody nose they deserved for continuing with him? Grow up Gibbo. It is merely the fact that Boris is not up to the job. There is quite likely to be someone in the tory party with his feet on the pedals but it sure isn't Boris. He has evidently done what Blair did to justify our part in the Iraq war and found 'experts' to tell him what he wanted to hear. Boris has found 'experts' who tell him what he wants to hear, with the disastrous result of an infection that grows by 20% a day. Anyone who seriously proposes cohort immunity as a means of controlling a disease with no vaccine is an idiot, whether he is PM or not! It is simply another way of saying 'do nothing and let it run its course'. The tories have progressively run down the NHS, the police and the military, and all three are likely to be needed to fight this disease, and they are worried that they will be held accountable for it.

Maybe you don't keep abreast of the updates, but clearly you missed the one on herd immunity.. As it happens Boris is neither a doctor , a scientist or a medical man and as all PM's are advised by others who hold the necessary experience and qualifications in any particular field, maybe you could have volunteered your services ? Your comments are painfully biased because of your dislike and bitterness toward a particular character and political party . Well tough titty, get on with it , this is not a political issue .
As you would appear to have all the opinions on how badly these experts are doing, so you must have all the answers too. !
We know all things can change rapidly, but as of todays figures for today's new cases (updated every 24 hrs)
Spain 3,355 Germany 1,804 Switzerland 571 Netherland 637 Belgium 558 Austria 165 Sweden 125 Portugal 260 Luxembourg 186 UK .............89 ........
So maybe they are doing something right ?

Well , I very much doubt even the best engineers never did a procedure such as draining the lungs !

A worrying statistic I was trying to assess, if you look at the spikes in infections and spikes in deaths in individual countries they are often about 15 days apart perhaps implying people that die do so 15 days after they first show symptoms.
So for mortality rates should we be comparing deaths at one date to infection dates 15 days earlier? This gives a horrendous mortality rate. even if the 15 days is false, there should be an offset based on the average, whatever that is.
On a tactical level ....
It was obvious people were going to stockpile (in my mind quite rightly to a point, its called preparation), should the Government not have nudged the populace into stockpiling as early as possible?
Early stockpiling would have happened before the infection was out and about making shopping less likely to spread the infection.
Stockpiling comes to an end, once your front room is full of loo roll you reduce the buying back down to normal levels. Early stockpiling means once the infection takes hold there will be less likelihood of shortages in the supermarkets and fewer customers reducing the spread of infection..
