Originally posted by Wisbech Eagle A total side remark, for which please don't take offence because none is intended, but I cannot help but smile whenever you refer to your wife in that way. I am sure she is a lovely lady, who you clearly love a lot given the affection in your tone, but "dear"? Does she really cost so much? Do you have another wife you refer to as "cheap"? You naughty boy! No politics or opinions wissie. I'm impressed

Originally posted by Badger11 My criticism of PHE, the NHS and the politicians is restricted to January / February. According to the WHO we did not have a contingency plan for a pandemic, that should have been in place already and would cost very little (just to create the plan). In the early part of the year once it became obvious the virus was coming our way that plan should have been dusted off and updated. At that point we should have started spending real money on equipment and training. We are now playing catch up and from my perceptive the NHS is not good at implementing change fast let's hope I am wrong. Before anyone jumps down my throat this is not said because of my political views but do you think this was, partly at least, because we had a very new government? Some ministers were getting used to new departments, there was upset within the civil service because of Dominic Cummings war on them being emboldened by a large Tory majority, and there was a vacuum where there ought to have been an opposition. Everybody's eyes were off the ball. Brexit was about to be "done" and we were all drawing breath. For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Been reading through this thread and to be honest has lightened my day, I’m lucky.... I work as manager of betting shop (non essential so closed) but I’m on full pay, but sitting here with my wife and kids seeing my wife worry about all this is not nice. Now I’m going to have a vent , I think this has all gone way good far! So we have so many people infected and so many deaths! Well on what basis are they doing these tests?? When they are in intensive blo”dy care!! So the tests being released to the public are worthless!!! Thousands if not millions could have had this and shown this at a very low death rate but nooooooo the press want to sell headlines, papers and get you to watch their channel!! Sky news making that HORRIFIC documentary in Italy and YES it was horrific but someone has been paid to get the most horrific shots and videos they can to sell their story , I hate the media for this, they have made this sooo much more than it is and have decimated the economy, jobs etc. I saw a post earlier that said “isolate the elderly and vulnerable, let us continue, get it and build up immunity” I think that’s the way forward. “This is a crisis, a large crisis.... in fact if you have a moment, it’s a 12 storey crisis, magnificent entrance hall, carpeting throughout, 24 hour portage , and an enormous sign on the roof saying “This , is a large crisis” - Edmund Blackadder

In actual fact I have no "I Dear" if she ever operated down an "Alley" !! Finally, indeed I used to be a "Naughty boy", but my lothario days are long gone.

I've just been out for a walk with the dog. We have been in lock down maybe a week or two (who can count the time anymore). The place has been quiet, today its frankly busy. Traffic jams, queues, teens playing football and basketball. Families out walking. Conclusion: people are starting to not stick to the lock down. Whatever the government wants to do about it may not be in their own hands. Red and Blue Army!

The Government is very concerned that with the weather being in our favour at the weekend,this will encourage those to ignore what was once 'Advice' but is now an 'Instruction'.Police of course have been given additional powers and they might to use them to the full.
