    I don't know what I'm lolling at more this morning on twitter, the disgusting fatty union trying to undermine Adele's achievements or the #keepthelockdown lefty wankers.

    ICU capacity means bring on the freedoms baby. If anything, we were slow to act given nurses were doing TikTok challenges out of boredom for weeks.

    I'm fascinated as to how you can get a single use gown so badly wrong. Have they accidentally coated them in coronavirus or something?

    Anyone who (like me) has attempted to source goods from Turkey will not be in the least bit surprised, either by the administrative nightmare extracting them from Anatolia, or by the fact that they turned out to be total crap.

    We should absolutely be relaxing things in some form or other now. It will lead to more death, but overall it's the right thing to be doing.

    My problem was a Turkish man trying to source what he considered goods from here, not the other way around.

    That and the whole place smelling like a kennel.

    I think there are a lack of decent specialists in touch with the real world in the civil service who are being ordered around by people (ministers) who know fuck all. Like when a prominent politician tried to give my department a bollocking until our top man blinded him with science exposing him as a blithering idiot unable to comprehend the scale of the issues faced.

    Josie, also not her real name, is living roadside with her family, including 18 young children, in caravans in London.

    They exist in a moral vacuum populated only by themselves (hence their outraged gnashing of teeth whenever they get pulled in for anything). That said, they're always far closer to the real public mood than things like Twitter are.

    That's why it's irresponsible. The goal of a newspaper isn't to reflect the public mood, it's to inform people.

    I mean they're actively encouraging people to go out there ffs.

    Title: Paris restrictions to stay as France reopens
    First sentence: Measures to curb the spread of coronavirus will be kept in place in Paris when the lockdown is eased in other parts of France, its PM says.
    The truth: In Paris and the four adjoining regions - Ile-de-France, Hauts-de-France, Grand Est Bourgogne-Franche-Comte - which comprise the red zone, public parks and gardens will stay shut.

    Journalism.

    Just seen what he's come out with.

    Can be filed in the same bin as Rooney's "think of the YTS lads" drivel.

    Rofl that he's played the mental health card and I'd love to see the context he's hinting at that justifies breaking lockdown to hold a foursome.

    And then posted four screenshots of moaning that it's unfair because he's been 'harassed', his family are going through a 'tough time' (because he previously broke lockdown for a sex party) and basically why shouldn't he see them and hug his sister.

    The person who's been put in charge of contact tracing had to step down from her last job because of a massive data breach serious enough that her leadership was described as 'utter ignorance as a lesson to us all'. She happens to be married to a Conservative MP.

    From how little the tory on QT had seemingly been briefed on it given he hadn't a clue, I'd imagine it's not actually being given any serious weight. And good cause like fuck is take-up of that shit going to be enough for it to be successful.

    Yep blew my mind that the NHS felt they could build something better than Apple or Google. I get the idea that it can be used in conjunction with better testing and tracing to manage things but it’s far from a magic bullet on its own.

    Someone (admittedly an oddball) told me that this app, allegedly, has nothing in place to stop plebs logging symptoms for lols, potentially leading to issues with other people getting false warnings?

    Surely not, and it only alerts people if someone they've been in contact with actually tests positive?

    Otherwise, lol.

    Why would they not be though? Why are you not? This is our lives for the foreseeable future we're talking about and almost everything I'm reading is an unmitigated disaster.

    I think British state and society is not in a condition to be able to do a lot better. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses of their setup. Handling pandemics is a weak spot for us, because we're a very liberal society oriented towards personal freedom. On most other counts we do alright. We could be German and opening up earlier, sure, and have fewer deaths, but then we'd have to eat pickled cabbage all the time and have a completely infantile sense of humour. It's just how it is.

    On the other hand, we never had looting, never confined people to their houses 24/7, never dragged people out of their houses, and are also not doing what the US are doing and opening up way too early because they have zero interest in any kind of social safety net.

    'It is what it is,' as Harry Kane would say, and I sense that is the mood of a large proportion of the population.
