Why does Dr Anita Harris keep saying 200,000 tests available when the most weve done is 127,00........ Because she is manipulating the numbers, it includes tests posted out so obviously if you have enough stamps you could post out 200,000 infact you could post out a million so I am surprised the Clown in Chief didn't promise a million tests by now.

Here's my question.
According to official figures the UK is still thought to be getting about 8000 new infections per day and conducting about 2000 positive tests.
These numbers are running at about 6 (six) times any equivalent countries in Western Europe such as Italy, Spain and Germany.
What is the cause of all these cases after 10 weeks of lock down? And do we know where they are and who they are?

Purpose of lockdown - to ensure NHS was not overun with sharp rise in cases in order that it could be managed. That has now passed and yes there may be a second "spur" but the science say the NHS will not be overun, so as far as govt are concerned carry on - there is no stopping this virus from spreading, a vaccine may be found but it will take at least 12 months of testing and even then the side effects might be worse than the vaccine curing people- lets not forget thalidamide - now people can be infected in a more controlled manner and as soon as they do and get immunity then that will be the end goal. Its sad I know and more vulnerable people will die - but not in the massive surges as anticipated - may just be 100 per day for the next 10 to 12 months - manageable Seriously, thalidomide was a vaccine for what ? How do you know you get immunity, when all the global scientists don’t know if that will be the case? For how long have vaccines been curing anyone of anything? Manageable indeed , would that really be the case if they were your friends and relatives?

The tests are split into the different pillars aren’t they? How many are actually testing positive in the community and how many in hospitals etc?

They recorded 96 new cases today which is the lowest in almost 3 months. Only 2 deaths too.

Or does he know and he's not prepared to tell us? If he doesn't genuinely know, then he needs to work a bit harder to find out.

If he doesn't genuinely know, then he needs to work a bit harder to find out. The reliance on scientists doesn't seem to have produced the containment everyone was hoping for which is a bit of a worry as I think the government were 'following the science' early doors. It seems now though we have reached a bit of a stand off with government not trusting the science and the scientists not trusting the government. A bit of a shit show really...

Its sad I know and more vulnerable people will die - but not in the massive surges as anticipated - may just be 100 per day for the next 10 to 12 months - manageable The NHS was not overrun with Covid - but it did fuck all else for the last 3 months increasing the chances of dying from something else quite considerably. Many of the vaccines being considered are adaptions of existing vaccines so by and large they are known to be safe. I was reading about Georgia the other day - the impoverished former Soviet republic. Smaller population it's true but with limited resources have managed to keep the death toll down to 10. Not ten a day - ten in total. It closed it's borders quickly, locked down at tge end of February and left the running of the crisis to scientists and technocrats without political interference. You might be happy with 100 a day for the next 12-18 months but we'll look a right bunch of useless pricks if the rest of Europe are counting in 0's, 1's and 2's. No-one will want to come here and we won't be allowed anywhere. We will be a pariah state, and if you get seriously ill ftom anything other than Covid you'll be fucked. Great.

In the modern era , I wonder if it is compulsory to be on Morning TV or GMTV , whatever it is? There are plenty of other mediums. It seems that Piers needs his guests so that he can " have a good go at them" ....perhaps that's what some people want to see now that we are in the age of reality tv....others might want to listen to what the guests have got to say, and Morgan's approach isn't the best for that...and it's not about being accountable and scrutinised.....we are in an age of more scrutiny than ever....down to the personal and even to the extent when it is preventing people from doing their jobs. Part of the mission of Boris is to address issues, as he sees them , of the media, particularly the BBC, so the reluctance to appear on Pier's programme is easily understood.

Of course its normal to do the breakfast rounds john, just like its normal to do newsnight which they're also avoiding and some papers. They are useless and despicable scrutiny avoiding tossers. There is NO other explanation
