You’re listening to advice from Professor Chris Whitty..

That's really embarrassing that this Labour MP (Darren something) doesn't understand what SAGE is, and that they don't make economic decisions!

Waspnest · 03/11/2020 15:50

Is it as shit and pointless as it sounds? (I always switch off the question part of the press briefings because the questions are so inane and repetitive).

CuriousaboutSamphire · 03/11/2020 15:50

"So yes!" no no no "So yes" no no no "So yes!"

WTF is that?

Crikey - great putting away of the ridiculous - don't put words in Mr Whitty's mouth!

Let’s not forget that Vallance has £600,000 of shares in a vaccine company!!

It is in his interest to have the Country fearful of Covid.

Bloody disgusting.Corrupt to the core.

I tend to listen to them for the same reason. It forces CW, JVT etc to re-explain in ever more simple terms. Which can sometimes be used on facebook Smile

And now back to that 6-week graph!

And is something in July accurate... not us boss, ask them!

They are not politicians so do not want to give answers to questions designed to be political.

Oh that takes me back, was it 'Dubb be good to me' or something like that?

Is it just me or are Patrick Valance and Chris Whitty merging into each other, physically?

Oh piss off! That's been done to death here. He worked for them His pay off and pension incoude shares, some of which it is impossible for him to liquidate in the short term - as it in would be illegal to do so!

Having has that job is what makes him the expereinced and knowledgeable person for his current position, he moved on and up, like most people do. Again would you rather a junior doctor, an epidemiologist in Rhyll?

See I don't really understand this way of thinking. If ours was the only country 'fearful' of covid then I suppose I could see why people may think there is a hidden motive but nearly every country is struggling and pushing for a vaccine

And why not ? Surely we all need a little surprise in our lives sometimes ...

An effective vaccine is the one thing that would make me less fearful actually.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 03/11/2020 16:01

@DGRossetti I thank you Grin

Oh do sod off and take your fucking interminable logic with you!

Oh, Christmas and hugs, tell us the impossible! FFS!

They have been chosen for their expertise not their skin colour or gender. I'm all for equality but I think the best person for the job is needed in these circumstances

CuriousaboutSamphire · 03/11/2020 16:05

Get political guys.. tell us what will happen, what BJ wil or won't do. Come on, be what you are not!

You must model the political decision.... well no, they model the data!

TWAT!!!!!

People seem to think it's a 'gotcha' moment when I've seen people say similar things about his shares before. It's not like he hid them

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 03/11/2020 16:06

How does he not start yelling ‘are you actually listening to my answers.’

Waspnest · 03/11/2020 16:07

DGRossetti could you now please translate what it means? I didn't understand it at the time, now I'm old and decrepit there's not a hope in hell.

LEELULUMPKIN · 03/11/2020 16:07
