People who doggedly refuse to recognise the numerous and grave mistakes made by this govt are really missing the point. This is not a party political issue, the election is 4 years away. This is about demanding good (not perfect!) governance and leadership. If mistakes are not recognised and criticised, then they are more likely to be repeated and the govt would just interpret it as vindication of its choices and performance. If someone is performing poorly in their job but the performance review doesn't reflect it, then what incentive would they have to improve?

Looking at the graphs, there's no sign of an upturn, and yesterday's number seemed unusually low based on recent changes. Therefore I deduce that yesterday's reported total was wrong.

'Okay direction for new cases, but after Gavin posted figures earlier for the four countries, I wasn't expecting such a high all settings figure.

Even your friends, your masters in the EU weren't too great either.


From the BBC news ticker:


An EU agency which monitors infectious diseases has been accused of underestimating the virus threat. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) considered coronavirus low-risk when it met on 18 February, just three days before the outbreak in northern Italy made headlines. Spain’s El País newspaper reports that the agency made no urgent recommendations for special measures and concludes, citing other medical experts, that it did not respond robustly enough.

Yes, number of new cases is dropping nicely, however, wasn’t expecting to see such a big number re deaths.

Yeah i mentioned yesterday that the figure for yesterday didnt include Northern Ireland whereas the figure for the previous did so gave a misleadingly large drop.


I make today's figure 10,025 and yesterday's 10,087.

10 dicks away? That'd be very hard in Westminster.

Actually hospital admissions went down a bit, but their attempts at manipulation yesterday backfired today. Some intern is going to get a bollocking from Cummings

Where is Boris. To not appear on over a week I think is disgraceful. It appears that it Cummings is actually running the country. 

Boris is bored of being PM already.

If VE Day parties had caused an uptick in the number of cases, or a levelling off, then we might expect to see that about now?
