What surprises me, are these scientists and professeurs, briefing the media on speculation.
Do they not understand the anxiety and panic they are causing amongst some sectors.
You'd think that they, more than other professions, would understand mental health.
Data not dates.
@scullyp@EssexPR@RobertJenrick@RishiSunak@BorisJohnson If it is about ventilation, then why the arbitrary 15 then 30 at a wedding? If it really was about ventilation, then numbers would surely be based on the size of the venue and ventilation at that venue. And what about students? Are schools better ventilated than universities?
Infections acquired in hospitals and care homes have led to around three times more fatalities than infections acquired in ALL OTHER SETTINGS PUT TOGETHER. Hospitality settings are irrelevant as sources of fatal infections.
Just listen to the absolute state of this. No understanding of the industry, of weddings across all cultures, of the impact of ‘apparent inconsistencies’ and most of all, of anything beyond a narrow stereotypical view. Dreadful.
@SadiqKhan@hammersmithandy It’s alright for you in the public sector to say this. But when there is no private sector left because it is ‘too dangerous’ there won’t be anyone left to pay your public sector salaries.
@10DowningStreet Schools should never have closed in the first place. This is government totally led by hysteria-media. If you had been stronger in the first place then you would not be in this mess now. Look at Sweden and learn.
@BorisJohnson You should never have closed schools in the first place! As PM, you should have been braver against the sensationalist media and stood up for our children. Closing schools was the easy, cowardly option. No surprise that reopening them is proving far more tricky.
@10DowningStreet Why all this micromanaging of what we can do and what we can not do? Surely that is not the role of government? Rules like this are unenforceable and non-sensical. Start treating your electorate with some respect. We know the risks and can make our own decisions - thank you.
