Fridays announcement

[Kitmerow]

What are you expecting from this weeks announcement?

I hope he doesn't forget to mention the great trowel initiative of 2020 which is bound to be implemented nationwide. In other news, the BBC will announce that due to the social distancing negatively impacting on April Fools day there will now be an equivalent day each month starting on the 14th August.

The quickest way to end this nonsense Pandemic is by people disobeying the government. The lockdown has caused the death of over 26,000 people. They deliberately inflated the Covid death numbers. Now the government have said sorry, not as many people died of Covid 19 as we throught. Here's the new number that's 20,000 less than the old number. 34,000 deaths in a population of 70 million in 5 months. 80% of infections cause mild to no symptoms. The average age of the dead is 82. Children under 15 are statistically more likely to die from being hit by lightening. The number of infections will keep increasing because millions of people have had it, not known about it and are testing positive because they've already had it. The continuous and enormous amount of testing is pointless. Covid 19 killed the weakest. It's over. It's no scarier than the flu. People have got to understand what is happening and disobey the government. If the flu season is bad, they are going to lockdown again and thousands more innocent people will die from lack of medical care. We have to stop.

Waffle waffle waffle. As always.

Eat out to help out

Boris will trot out some tripe about world-beating free trade deal negotiated with the Japanese (in truth it is just for blue cheese, only worth 100k a year, total) and that it will be 'illegal' to for immigrants to cross the channel into the UK.

One-Trick-Pony Boris still believes that a bit of Brexit flag waving to appease the racist Northeners will do the job of getting him off the hook for all other cock ups.

He may be correct.

The number of infections will keep increasing because millions of people have had it, not known about it and are testing positive because they've already had it.

Utter bollocks, all of this. You cannot test positive if you 'have already had it'. Go back to your 'Facebook Conspiracy Theories for Dunces' group.

Is this the announcement of Cumming's leaving date?

Expecting a very big party.

The number of infections will keep increasing because millions of people have had it, not known about it and are testing positive because they've already had it.

The tests aren't antibody tests though, are they?
You only test positive if you have it at that time surely?

Add to Witchend's list a claim that going into Brexit with no deal means that we will have a world-beating instant recovery from the worst recession in our history, which definitely wasn't Boris's fault in the first place, no way.

Just wanted to add:

• As 2020 is a leap year, anyone found not leaping out of the way of Covid19 will be fined.

And a sensible one:

• The 50 million worthless face masks will be distributed for use in schools and other municipal buildings.

@Bingbong1970 I hear you, although other's don't seem to.

I think the DfE is waiting for it too as they were due to release more guidance yesterday & last time I checked they have yet to do so

Lockdown Bingo!

@ohthegoats

I'm going to go with 'crowd pleasing bullshit which won't actually be acted on, but by the time we notice that, there will be some desperate people in a dinghy that they can distract us with'.

@ohthegoats had it on page one

@TinyMetalBirds I see what you did there !

What exactly is left to open now?

Anything inside to do with live performance - theatres, concert halls, shows etc
Amateur musicians can't rehearse together or perform, with wind and brass instruments particularly strictly locked down.
Nightclubs.
Conferences and events.
Some beauty treatments e.g. facials.

Those are off the top of my head. There will be more.

@Bercows

What exactly is left to open now?

Theatres, live music, choirs ........

They'll probably be recruiting neighborhood volunteers to spy on each other. Those volunteers can have special armbands to identify them & those breaking lockdown rules will be hearded into camps.

Do you have a link to that figure. Everything I've seen has suggested that the number was 1-2k over but that this is only in confirmed cases and there were more unconfirmed ones in any case.

However if the death rate is that low then it proves that the lockdown is a success not a failure, you can't judge success on the low number of deaths but on the number of lives not lost.

You must wear a face covering at all times, even in your home, alone. Mumsnet Stasi Officers will enforce this.

Doesn't really matter what the content of the announcement is .It plays out the same Labour slate it regardless as being the opposition they HAVE TO opposed every thing .
Majority of the public public do what they want ignore restrictions .
Then we blame Boris .

I didn’t know there was to be one.

No idea. Hopefully not more money propping stuff up.

You can test positive for weeks after you've had the active infection.
