There's no way we could have prevented 100,00 deaths and a trashed economy?
Leave it mate. He wants the deaths because he believes we are over populated.
If you put too many chickens in a battery unit , sooner or later a virus will emerge , spread quickly , and wipe the weak out. I don’t care if you don’t believe the problems overpopulation brings. The evidence has been there long enough.
You better believe it. I visited a battery chicken shed once. Farkin' proper reekin' it was. Dead chooks dotted around all over the shop.
Its a good thing we have decided to control the population by killing them every 42 days and introducing their viruses into the human food chain. That way the human population can also be controlled or eliminated, as you say, in Georgespeak.

let’s agree to disagree. Don’t think we will ever need to worry about too many in the Os stadium.

No. I get the feeling that Max batters me about for a bit before delivering the killer blow. So I’m leaving before he does ))

Credit where it belatedly appears due, our lamentable government does seem to be doing a reasonably good job on the vaccine rollout compared to the EU. Which can only be a good thing in terms of our welfare and hopefully the EU will get their act together. Still doesn’t absolve Boris eat al from the clusterfuck that went before but one can only hope that they’ll continue to get control of things better from here on. (Yes I know the chances aren’t good).
A client in France was today quite scathing about Macron and their vaccine program. Surprisingly he reckons vaccine suspicion is a major issue in France and that less than 50% are likely to accept it.

Definitely a bit of a gamble and its paying off. Then again spunking a ton on big private companies comes naturally to the Tories. Whereas the EU, as per, are weighed down by their gargantuan bureaucracy trying to use their cloud to haggle.
On France, it might help if their President didn't use Anti-Vaxx tropes on the AZ vaccine. The cheapest and easiest to store vaccine in order to save face for the EU

Wasn’t aware of the anti-vaccine stuff with Macron. The EU clearly haven’t covered themselves in glory recently which of course plays out well for the Brexit headbangers desperate for some good news to deflect away from less favourable stories.
One suspects the vaccine good news story will give Boris some breathing space for the time being, ably assisted by an opposition that can’t do much more but stand by and watch. Still find it ultimately surreal that deaths are being reported in 000’s per day but perhaps we’re all becoming desensitised....

He outright claimed it didn't work in over 65s and "Some say those over 60s".
Despite evidence to the contrary. At a time when millions here are having it. And the EU had just done the diplomatic equivalent of throwing faeces at the wall in order to secure more supply of it.
Even better he used the Trump "Some say" to increase the fake news shithouserry

Sorry to hear that Ron. Hopefully it’s imminent.
My mum finally got hers last week and received a pep talk at the same time to make it clear this didn’t mean she was immune and could go back to normal.

Reasonably good job! The people involved are doing an incredible job. Amazingly good. Shocks the hell out of me. Oh and before Max pipes up, I am not making a political point. My opinions of Boris are well known, I rate him just a little higher than Corbyn. A low bar.
This rollout success is down to the people doing the work. The Government input is like the above funding and ordering the doses. But it’s ordinary folk doing an extraordinary job that’s making it happen.
The rest of Europe have been caught with their pants down.

You sure about that - this thread didn't even start until the 25th Feb last year, so I'm not sure it would have been "obvious" a year ago today.

Hey steady on. Don't shoot the plagiarist. I was only repeating what Ianucci said on Twitter.
That said I believe there were early warnings in January the Covids was going to be big and by this time last year it was obvious that drastic action was required to contain the spread of the virus.
Just because the first time it was mentioned on a Division 4 message board was on 25 Feb doesn't make that untrue.

It would've been obvious to Johnson if he'd bothered to show up to anyone 1 of the first 5 emergency meetings about it.

I honestly don’t know, but it seems unlikely that it wouldn’t have cropped up sooner if it had been that obvious, especially as no one hesitates to gob off on here normally. I don’t think the government have done a great job, but just cos Ianucci tweets something doesn’t make it true either.

Ianucci is a good start,
Needs to be Tweeted by David Schneider too before it's credible though. If James Felton chimes in as a well with a beg for likes you know its legit

In fact Big Al mentioned it first on 31 Jan, according to the forum search function.
I suppose this only matters insofar as, if we're going to learn any lessons from this whole sorry event, we need a history and a timeline that is consistent and widely agreed upon (fat chance, huh). If someone says, it was obvious on day x that someone should have done something, but in reality nothing specific actually happened on day x of any significance, then that's just a form of virtue signalling - "It was obvious
to me back then...." - which I'm not sure is a great look.
