China Coronavirus

It depends on how the story develops and how the public reacts.

In a Yougov poll yesterday 52% said he should resign, 28% said he shouldn't and 20% didn't  know.

The Tories may well engineer a Hotel California style ceremonial "checking out" for Cummings. But he will not leave.

I see on twitter the mirror have "new" witnesses who seen Cummings out and about despite his claims it didn't happen.

It looks like they've played it perfectly here. They put out part of the story giving Cummings the chance to come clean. Instead he lies and they put out the 2nd half of the story and they have him by the short and curlies.

Hope he doesn't go. Divide the Tories more, show the British public what kind of shysters they have in charge. At this stage, it may damage them more if he were to stay.
Gone into No. 10 at time of writing, so we'll see....

Terrifying point by former Durham Police chief, Mike Barton, on BBC.  Given Cummings' travels from the hotspot of London in early April when Durham and surrounds had low COVID-19 rates, he cannot rule out being a carrier of the disease which then killed more in the North East

Watched that interview, and he put the boot into Shapps about making the law up as he went along. Watching the Marr interview, not a clue, don't believe the papers, but the statement from No 10 he says

Today was the first day that China reported zero Covid19 cases.
Yeserday they conducted 1,470,950 tests in Wuhan.

Now they are probably using an  instant test that in't 100% accurate, but if we could get tthese tests then you could test everyone on  the island of Ireland in a week and get rid of the virus entirely in a couple of weeks.

If you didn't already know, you really now should. The Governments don't care about us. Tests cost money, couldn't have that.

Question. So why no second wave in places like Denmark Austria C Republic Holland with all now below 50 infections a day and all now reopened 6 weeks tomorrow?
All them were waiting on the numbers to pick up but they have actually continued to go down?
Also the big second wave from everyone not sticking to the rules in England around the VE just hasn't happened.

Surely he won't sack him live on air. If it was to happen he'd be gone by now.

Wouldn't mind a bet if I could get it he won't even mention it.

Tests cost less money than having the economy closed down, so the Irish government at least would give this a go if there ests were available, in the 6 counties Arlene et al wouldn't agree unless the English did it.

Has the government sacked people for breaking lockdown rules? If they have we should see a sacking, but they won't with this guy, who's effectively running the country

They might announce something to ease measures or something strange to redirect, would be in Boris Johnson and his teams bag of tricks.

If they wanted to do it, they would have. In both jurisdictions. As for lockdown, one size fits all. Everyone else was doing it.....

Wow! His face didn't take a red'ner! Crazy predictable stuff
