Boris Johnson's outcome from his current battle with the virus is a win-win for the Tory spin doctors.
God forbid the worst should happen but if it did, he would be hailed as a martyr and it would be a case of "Let's do it in memory of Boris"
Should he survive (and like every right-thinking person I hope he does), they would milk it to get every sympathy vote at every turn
Let's hope the people of Britain view this shambolic government for what they are and vote them out at the earliest opportunity |
Well said Sir |  |

5 years at the very earliest, at least I can vote Labour again now. |  |

The NHS should have been in better shape yes, no argument. However, how could they prepare for something they didn't know was coming?
They reacted to it and with hindsight we will see how good that reaction was, nobody expects a good outcome though, many more will die.
We can blame the tories for loads of things, rightfully so, but the Pandemic and the inevitable financial crisis?
In the same circumstances what would a Labour PM have done? Pretty much the same as the Tories or something much different? |

There was/is a flu pamdemic plan which is currently being utilised you great big gulah! One of the problems was that Jeremy Hunt wouldn't pay for the equipment due to the cost and the other was Cummings plan to let old people die in the name of heard immunity was misguided as they didn't understand the actual numbers of deaths and the overwhelming (unbearable) strain upon the NHS.
At risk of receiving the evil eye off Spratty again, what's the weather like on your world?
EDIT to note that my point on the issue of the number of deaths was covered today on the CV thread. [Post edited 9 Apr 2020 1:38]

Remember how the hero wartime leader churchill did in the 1945 election? |
And Attlee made such a hash of it Churchill was back in 1951 and the Conservatives remained in power until 1964. |  | | |

When did they put that plan into operation, before or after they realised this was a pandemic?
I can guarantee if the government had spent billions on something that hadn't yet happened people would be critical.
Just imagine if they'd opened the nightingale hospitals, staffed them and spent vast sums on PPE last January, what would people have been saying? Because if they'd done that they'd have been diverting funds from schools, the police, other parts of the NHS, the armed forces.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Having a plan is right, putting that plan into action before you need it isn't. That they were slow implementing it was the mistake. |  |

They just had to look at other countries to see what was coming. | | | |

Almost a 1000 deaths today with 8,600 new cases. We are by far the worse affected by head of population. | | | |

I thought France had it worse, roughly 2.7 million bigger population but near 13,000 deaths. And does anyone seriously believe China's announced circa 3,400 deaths? | |

And would Labour have said in these virus updates that pep was available
