China Coronavirus

I wonder how much overlap there is between people who are currently hysterically going on about a so called "police state" and people who in normal times are demanding more police on the streets and to flog criminals - the "tough on crime, hang em' high" , pro-death penalty brigade

A big overlap, I would guess

If I never saw another cop on the street it'd be too soon.

Didn't think this thread could get any crazier   

[Rossfan]

Indeed. A couple of the loonier elements let loose this morning.

I think we'll see a new wave, so to speak.....when restrictions start loosening.

Its bonkers.

And not only this thread - its most of them now.

Perhaps this lockdown has had a serious impact on some posters.

[imtommygunn]

I would definitely say it has.

From my reading on here, the posters who think they haven't been impacted by these lockdowns are probably the ones who have gone the most crazy.

Exceptional News.

Hopefully....just a little longer to go now.

On another note, is anyone really annoyed by the leaks and dirty deals between the Govt and Media?

How does the UK know exactly what Boris is going to say tonight, 24 hours before he actually says it....it looks like it's you scratch my back....

The cynic would say it is being leaked to get the general feeling of the public and see what sort (if any) uproar there is.

Where there is no massive uproar they go with that - if there is an uproar they will try to make changes.

That's great news.  The EU will be left with egg on their face after their decision not to give the Oxford jab to the over 65's with Macron saying it was "quasi-ineffective" for that age group.  Think there was a big anti-Brit sentiment with that statement. Time to rectify the error and get it into more people's arms.

I don't see why anyone should have egg on their face for waiting for actual proper research when dealing with vulnerable people.
When there is authoritative research they'll change their recommendation, as John Maynard Keynes said "when I receive new data I change my opinion, what should I do?".

Do you think the "quasi-ineffective" statement was correct when he didn't have the data to back up the statement?
