Johnson blames Governance of Care homes for the rapid spread of Covid in care homes.
https://twitter.com/brexit_sham/status/1278981069660962816

18th March, A government order tells NHS hospitals to move elderly patients into care homes even if they have Covid-19
Results in a explosion of Covid-19 deaths in care homes.
1 Cardiologist says "We actively seeded this into the very population that was most vulnerable."
It might take our producers five minutes to find 60 economists who feared Brexit and five hours to find a sole voice who espoused it.
“But by the time we went on air we simply had one of each; we presented this unequal effort to our audience as balance. It wasn’t.”

Nick Ferrari interviewed Johnson this morning on LBC. Didn't hear it but I assume Ferrari didn't ask the great leader about the obesity levels in this country and the link to covid.

UK in talks to join EU coronavirus vaccine scheme

"London is assessing whether the advantages of the European bloc’s bargaining power to strike deals with international drugs companies [to make a coronavirus vaccine] outweigh the broader political desire to sever ties with Brussels, UK officials said."

So many thoughts. But good if it goes ahead and we're working with the EU on it.

Is the Fall Well in the old Sportsman building? Probably before your time but in the late 60s/early 70s St John's Precinct had a couple of pubs, one being the Sportsman, the other the Moonstone.

And then they opened the Top Rank. A large ball room allowing plenty of room for the Saturday night all in fighting.

Maybe the thinking is that on Saturday visits will be spread throughout the day, whereas on a weekday the vast majority would go in the evening? Either that ot they are stupid.

Meanwhile in Scotland the Scottish Tories are as shameless as ever.... the Tories in Westminster having only recently stopped daily briefings themselves, they've suddenly decided they are just party political broadcasts.

Quote
SCOTTISH Tories are calling for an end to the Scottish Government’s daily Covid-19 briefings – claiming they are a “30-minute party political broadcast”.

Speaking at today’s briefing, Nicola Sturgeon explained why her government had not signed up to Westminster’s plan to abandon quarantine rules for those coming into the UK from at least 50 countries as of July 10.

She accused the UK Government of having a “shambolic” decision-making process, said they changed the countries featured on the list, and stressed Scotland needs to reopen safely.

Reiterating her desire for alignment with the rest of the UK, the SNP leader concluded that she thinks it’s likely Scotland will be able to agree with the UK on a list of low-risk countries, but there may need to be further thought put into the “medium-risk” nations featured where Covid-19 is more prevalent than in Scotland.

Following today’s briefing, Tory MSP Murdo Fraser called it “absolute nonsense” that BBC Scotland is broadcasting the sessions.

Downing Street was holding daily coronavirus briefings until last week, when it decided to axe them and instead host sessions ahead of key changes being made to the Covid-19 response.

    It’s absolute nonsense that @BBCScotlandNews are still broadcasting live every day a 30 minute Party Political Broadcast by the SNP, with no opportunity for a response by any other Party or contrary views expressed. This has to end.

    — Murdo Fraser (@murdo_fraser) July 3, 2020

Fraser tweeted: “It’s absolute nonsense that @BBCScotlandNews are still broadcasting live every day a 30 minute Party Political Broadcast by the SNP, with no opportunity for a response by any other Party or contrary views expressed. This has to end.” A handful of Scottish Tories retweeted the post.

SNP MSP Stuart McMillan responded to accuse Fraser of scraping the barrel.

He went on: “Communicating directly with the population the up to date information is important. Covid hasn't gone away. Why are you scared that information is shared?”

Meanwhile Jeane Freeman rejected the comparison with a political broadcast. The Health Secretary told Fraser: “Had no idea @ScotTories thought it ‘absolute nonsense’ for the Government of Scotland to speak directly to the people we are accountable to. Wow. And BTW, impugning senior clinical advisers is not a good look.”

It's all well meaning and worthwhile, but it doesn't give me confidence, everything we've learned suggests that it's airborne transmission via droplet and aerosol rather than surfaces. Gyms are all about exercise, intense breathing, it's the reason for going there and during a pandemic an indoor environment full of people breathing intensely is just about the last place on earth I want to be. Even if I don't get infected I just don't want to be there :(

More to it than just drinking. Some people associate going the pub with cultural norms. It's the done thing. It's such a normal thing to do. It's such a typical British thing to do etc etc. It's a good news story for the masses and a perception the govt is winning and successful in what they're doing.

Yep. I don't understand the logic. Well, I do, but that's an entirely different reasoning there. No doubt, it'll mostly be all the gym rats, those that are into the fads, the fancy haircuts, the beards, the instagram selfies, that'll be itching to get back in there to admire themselves in the mirrors. I don't give a shit what anyone tells me: you don't need a gym to keep yourself in shape or fit. All gyms are are a social hub. Like you say, there'll be plenty of people expelling air and fluids all over the place. Sounds like I'm describing something else there, but it is what it is. It's the same reason for them opening the bars and cafe's btw. The same train of thought. The same agenda. The last places you expect to open during a pandemic for obvious reasons, are some of the first to reopen.
