Which is exactly what I am saying. Test is irrelevant and in many cases doesn’t seem to pick anything up until several days after symptoms started anyway. Well done on spectacularly missing the point again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case I apologise. It read to me as the opposite. Any need for the name calling? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might not actually have been name calling, but suggesting someone has ‘spectacularly’ missed the point, is basically calling them a halfwit so I’d say it’s equally offensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Lamb Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 There's quite a lot of Covid about at the moment, particularly affecting carehome staff it seems from the absences, masks and extra cleaning going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy enough to misinterpret something a bit vague isn’t it? Mistake made, error admitted and apology offered. What’s the issue? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's particularly bad when you see it written down, isn't it? When you hear it, you automatically edit it to get the gist. But it's also quite interesting if not surprising. Rather than sitting down and considering the medical and scientific evidence, many in CoMin decided that the best way to deal with a worldwide pandemic was to strike dramatic gesture and naughty Mr Covid would immediately shrivel up and vanish. Chris Thomas rightly identifies this as Churchill Syndrome where politicians (usually male, usually Boomers) think that all you need to do to win a war is make a few defiant speeches and everything you want will magically happen. Johnson and co were obviously similarly deluded. (Churchill himself obviously knew better). Obviously when you look at the CoMin from early March (Quayle, Cannan, Ashford, Boot, Skelly, Harmer, Cregeen, Allinson, Thomas) only the last two plus possibly Harmer would have any idea how to consider medical and scientific evidence, or even pronounce it. So this was probably the limit of their abilities anyway. But it's fun to try to work out who the third would-be Winston was (after Quayle and Ashford) and who the fourth one was as well with a different agenda. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who can blame him. I also like the fact that he had to nag them to set up Teams as it didn't seem to have occurred to them that minimising personal contact might be a good idea in a pandemic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
