Lifestyleinlondon88 You are filled with confirmation bias, you are looking at the decisions with hindsight and you have no real idea about the details of what choices had to be made. Most supporters of Boris are usually reluctant to get into a conversation about him because MN is over overwhelmingly left wing and usually shouts down/trolls any positive comments immediately.
I am talking about the virus, not the economy The two are linked. If you spend 100% of your effort/money on just protecting peoples health you could end up destroying the economy and indirectly harming/killing many more people.
for all of those saying Corbyn would’ve been worse, can you explain how? He was an awful decision maker so would likely have caused carnage with his dithering. He hates the private sector and would have been happy to have let every private business in the country go bankrupt. He has a very poor education/low intelligence and could have made very poor choices. He has little grasp of the value of money and on top of what has currently been spent he would probably have added a few zeros to our debt.
Do you not feel the economy was and is being prioritised over people’s health? You mean the way loads of hospitals were built overnight. You mean the way he has pushed the economy into recession just so people didn't have to go into work and risk their health. The way they have got our testing rate as high as Germany's. the way they have actually stopped our country from running out of PPE. The way they they brought in the army in to help, which Corbyn wanted to disband. The way Boris really did get people to 'stay at home'. The NHS wasn't over whelmed like it was in Italy.
they did this for the economy not for people’s health Yea because no ones health would have been at risk if they were forced to go into work, or they were made redundant.
we can only go by what we were advised by WHO directly and how we directly took Action The WHO hasn't exactly performed well in this whole saga.
care home fiasco, can you really say that was part of a great plan? I dont imagine it was part of the plan, no, but the same has happened in many other countries. And you have no idea what the consequences (at the time) if people hadn't been put in care homes. Maybe the NHS would have been over run, maybe many more would have caught the virus and would have all died in hospital anyway.
PPE - If they had acted sooner, this would’ve saved a lot of stress
Great hindsight, shame you didn't raise that point back last year.
Blurring of guidelines so companies could bend the rules and keep staff going in or bringing them back So you mean tanking the economy, forcing all companies to shut down?
Reception and year ones being asked to return when they have no real concept of social distancing So not following the advice of the CMO and the CSA? Keeping people off work for longer than necessary and bankrupting more of the country?
Nurses being told they will not receive a raise or bonuses Why not give the whole country a raise? Have you worked out how to pay for it all?
Boris did shake hands with coronavirus victims though? At the time the advice was that the virus was spread through coughing, so make sure you washed your hands. Shaking hands had not been advised against, so great hindsight again. And if he had refused to shake their hands I imagine the outrage would have been of Boris treating people like they are dirty!
Flights coming in and people have not been quarantined or even tested So again you want to ignore the advice of the CMO and the CSA.
I mean the leader didn’t even return from his holiday to start dealing with it How dare a man have a holiday to ask his girlfriend to marry him. He PM should never be allowed to leave No.10 and he should always know everything before it happens.
