To think that the daily press briefing should be on zoom?

Government says we should stay inside. Ok. Message received. Am staying inside.

Government says this WHILE standing in a crowded indoor venue, when they have already had their top people go down with the virus.

Are these people stupid or what?

Surely there is no easier procedure to do remotely than a press conference? Why don’t the journalists just email the questions in and have them answered via a zoom call? If they absolutely have to meet in person, why aren’t they doing it outside, since they just said that the virus finds it harder to transmit outside (and it’s great weather).

Are they basically going to let all of the government and journalists to catch the virus before they realise that perhaps this is a lot dim?

Wtf?

They're standing in an empty room though surely? The journalists are all on screens.

FlamingoAndJohn · 02/04/2020 18:57

It is all on screens. The journalists aren’t in the room.

Eh? It isn't a crowded venue though is it? All of the journalists appear on a screen, they aren't in the room.

Really? My bad how funny. I only ever manage to catch the middle of it cos kids etc.

Still think the government should be mich more locked down but thanks for pointing out my error 🤣
