I'm really not believing they have it.. I'm also not accepting that I think this way, it's crackerjack.
But, it would just be ideal wouldn't it? They've made a few mistakes, got destroyed on QT , they are continuing to think we can have our cake and eat it, in regards to the economy and public health.
London already fears that Nightingale will effectively be a death camp, staffed by young doctors and retired NHS staff with no specific training , tulip PPE and , in the case of the retired are themselves are in the risk group.
Add to that, the ventilator manufacturer talking to BBC news on the radio on Friday saying that no orders have been made from him, why are they going to Dyson to invent something new, rather than help ramp up the production we already have at existing manufacturers, etc. (Penlon have been particularly outspoken on this).
It's pretty much given that we are only testing people on admission to hospital, and that 20% need hospitalisation. If this is accurate, our mortality rate is 1.28% , which isnt so bad .
It's easy for us to be critical of Trump's economy first strategy from over the pond, but I've always had a horrible suspicion since Trump effectively endorsed Boris for PM , that Boris is using the same play book, just a bit more tactfully.
If we are stil allowing flights in from NY to London now, with no testing, quarantine or anything combined with non-key workers being pressured to work and a rhetoric that 'we are starting to ramp up prodcution of PPE and ventilators' NOW ; we are not being looked after and the cracks will show.
We quarantine animals for rabies more strongly than we are people from the epicentre of the US outbreak.
Basically, if none of these people need hospitalisation, I'm calling BS. Please convince me otherwise as I feel like I'm going crackers!!Last edited by Scoobos; 29 March 2020, 14:22.Comment

I fear for my balance, but if I believed this was a conspiracy or new world order tactic; I'd be fearing for my sanity. That's a bridge too far for me, I'm afraid.Comment

Pretty moronic motive.
They want to change the world economy & what they're doing now is a classic control tactic. They have a desired outcome & the way to get what they want is to introduce a problem which causes fear. Then they suggest a solution to that problem that gives them their desired outcome. The vast majority of the population are blind sheep who will refuse to see it.
They must be absolutely p1ssing themselves laughing at everyone scrambling about buying toilet rolls & clapping.If you don't have anything nice to say, say it sarcasticallyComment
