Can you give some pointers as to what he could do to improve the situation...

Or did you want Corbyn at the wheel...?

I usually have no time or tolerance for Bozo but on this occasion, it is difficult to be certain in one's castigation of him.

We are in uncharted waters and It is a difficult balancing act. An incredibly difficult one.

Bozo is a bad leader but on this occasion, I am loath to criticise him as I don't who would do a better or worse job; Churchill would be equally flummoxed with this situation. It is an unknown really.

How come other countries aren’t flummoxed and seem to have a grasp of the situation?

Who says they do....this is new for everyone

I won't claim to know what he should be doing on everything but what he's done with the pubs and restaurants is shocking given they now won't be covered by insurance.

So many people will probably lose their jobs over it.

Hmm you do realise the UK and Italy had their first diagnosis one day apart?
Some people are just looking for an excuse to be angry I think. This is a disaster and they are nearly impossible to plan for.
Like any other party or person could fix this! There isn't an easy fix or a guide with how to cope with a mass outbreak.

you cant judge our country against what others are doing.

its a balancing act between keeping the virus at bay and making sure the economy and business's dont crash.

you were complaining about losing your job yesterday ffs, now youre complaining that he hasnt forced everyone to shut up shop and go on lockdown.

but then again you just like to copmplain

Too early to say. I suspect that we've got it wrong and if we have, then he and the government will get everything they deserve. At the moment though, he can only act on the advice of the experts he has around him and that is what he is doing. I get the reasoning in terms of spreading this out over a longer period to try and take the strain off the NHS. The issue for me is that we're having to do a lot of things that we're doing due to Torie policies over the last 10 years meaning that we're starting this whole thing from behind the black ball.

Do you think we'd have been better off now if Labour were in then...?

Not the biggest fan of Boris but think he's doing pretty well with this tbh considering none of us know fack all. I fully expected lockdown yesterday however i think the low number of increase in cases took everyone by surprise including him and all the doctors.

As i said i know they're only testing hospitalised people and these numbers are not the true numbers anyway etc etc etc however going by the last week, we tested 4,000 people yesterday so you would have expected a minimum of another 300+ cases yet we only had 150. Whether it's a false dawn we'll see but i think it just took everyone by surprise and they toned down what they originally had planned.

That is the biggest load of rubbish I’ve ever read 😂

How is he making a mess of it? He's taking advice from the professionals.

No evidence of if Italy/Spain/France are doing the right thing anyway, locking everyone down but what happens when they unlock down in 2 weeks? Could just see huge spikes regardless, fact is people are going to die regardless no matter what you do it's a virus it's in the air ffs and will remain in the air.

Everyone is guessing, and i'd rather just what our country who has long been pioneer leaders in intelligence and science, over a bunch of europeans. Plus we're effectively an island and not on the mainland like france/germany/spain/italy so they were always going to have more cases than us regardless and will remain the case.

We can't just lock people down for 6-8 weeks, need to just monitor it and then up / increase the severity of advisements as and when needed if needed. When you tell people to do something they will just rebel, especially in this country and the british nature.

Plus we're probably 2 weeks away from potentially
needing a lockdown (hitting 5k cases+) it's too early atm we'd just come out of lockdown in 2 weeks then it would all spike up again and then we'd need another one and then another one. Can't have 10,000 lockdowns everyday.

Some people just see what others are doing and panic and want to follow like a sheep.

like who

Who would of thought a blustering fool like Boris wouldn’t be the right person for this situation.

Who says what Italy is doing is correct though? They're in lockdown yet still seeing huge number in cases and deaths every day regardless, the lockdown hasn't seemed to have done fk all, same with Spain.

Yeah, but his professionals. He is the leader and is ultimately accountable. There are also a lot of professionals that have openly come out and said this is the wrong way to be doing it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
thing is though for everyone that says it's wrong there's another that says it's right. it's like you'll get one div scientist that will say drinking 3 glasses of red wine a day is bad for you but another that will say it's good for you. Nobody really knows fack all in reality

There's too many sheep in this world, they see a country or someone else doing something and it's like ahhhh why are we not doing that blah blah blah

I think he's been too slow I think

Also advising people not to socially mix

You tell them they can or can't, you don't send wishy washy messages.

Are you going to answer this Robb?

I don’t like Boris but he’s taking advice from experts. Not sure what else he’s supposed to do.

You can't know, because if you tell people they can't then they'll do it anyway they're more likely to do it if you tell them you can't as opposed to leaving it in their hands

By only suggesting the public avoid pubs, restaurants, theatres etc, instead of placing them on lockdown, they can't claim anything from their insurance. So we're going to have a ton of these venues still operating but with no customers.

i think he does need to make decisions.

all this " its advised not to go to pubs, bars and theaters" isnt good enough in my opinion.

insurance company's will not pay out unless these business's are forced to close.

BoJo needs to give these people a fighting chance of survival and close them rather than recommending
