    What? Lockdown in China and NZ were very strict. China especially had the army in and shut the entire cities down.

    Meaningless to spin to push the narrative because people are noticing and asking questions. The NHS is a political organization above anything else at the end of the day. The health care it provides very much plays second fiddle to this. But even if some bed figures are missing, the numbers would have to be massive for reality to in any way mach the hysterical scaremongering we keep hearing. That is clearly not going to be the case. Especially not for deaths and ICU use.

    Oh I fully understand where everything sits and I have issues with how the NHS is run particularly how they spend their money but I don't think this is all bull****. I'm amazed people do and still can't get an answer as to why.

    I went to Italy earlier this year and nobody over there said anything like it's all bull**** or whatever. The sicillians were pissed off they didnt shut the north down instantly as they all fled the cities and took the virus with them. Outside of that nobody called bull**** but questioned the handling.

    Over here people believe memes far too much.

    This is exactly it, people build it up in their heads to be something it is not. It is mostly affecting those who are 60+ and killing those who are 80+ the vast majority of us will have little consequence of catching covid and should not be concerned at all the issue is people who are not affected directly spreading it those most vulnerable who we have a duty to treat and protect. If hospital admissions continue at the current rate doctors will have to be forced to prioritise cases (letting people die).

    Not at all.

    Just some tangible evidence that backs up the official narrative.

    We're almost 12 months in and I'm still yet to know anybody that's been seriously ill. I'm still yet to see an overwhelmed hospital.

    Not asking much here, just something.

    When a national crisis occurs ike this, the whole UK needs one approach, not these devolved parliaments. All borders outwidth UK should have been closed to all non UK nationals, with UK nationals retirning to UK going into hotels, to self isolate under a watchful eye for two weeks. But typical UK, everyone pulling in different direction pandering to everyone. Farce.

    Well I've had the opposite experience to yourself, the only one we share is I dont know anybody seriously ill as all the vulnerable people I know, like my Nan and Father have followed the rules and shielded. As I say my Mrs works in a badly hit area and how she describes it is different to how you describe it.

    Sorry mate but you and many others are suffering from a classic case of denialism. I remember this during the AIDS pandemic when people where coming up with all sorts of nonsense to rationalise their own emotions.

    I would get rid of all devolved bodies - all they do is build empires that cost huge sums of money which is taken directly from frontline services with negative value added to society.

    The Mayor of London has an office - it is not much smaller than GCHQ on 4-5 levels.

    One Asian man, huge army of pen pushers
