So he goes away and goes to Canada and it goes downhill from there It could well go downhill. Never said it can’t, and a lot of countries are untrained for this sort of thing, but we’ve been doing things well as it stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried three times to try and formulate the right words to express how appalling it is that a country with our resources, technology and economy probably would see a decimation of people that it's their job as the government to help as a preferable method of balancing the books rather than taxing their billionaire friends a tiny bit more money but the last thing I want is to turn this into a partisan political debate. Nah it’s your partisan, they’ve gone to experts and those guys are the ones that will take a <5% death toll and pat each other on the back. In fairness I’ve seen Boris attacker all day, it’s probably the wisest thing he’s done in rather than making bombastic lock down statements is going with his experts.

I'm trying to trust the government because this goes way above trying to score points against Johnson. Look at it objectively, there are loads of experts out there saying conflicting things. The head of the WHO today called our approach wrong and dangerous. Partisan would be automatically assuming that the guys employed by our government are the experts that are right, or assuming that the ones who disagree with them are the ones that are right. I think at the moment theres enough doubt on both sides, I'm leaning towards disagreeing with our approach at the moment but obviously I hope I'm wrong. Some of their reasoning has been debunked, but they might be right. There's no precedent for this, we won't know what was the right or wrong move until weeks and months down the line.

Mpache 672 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Now the Canadian government is thinking of closing everything meaning I could potentially be stuck here if it's closed before next Wednesday. It took Trudeau's wife to get sick for them to wake up. The regular civilian's life has no value. It's only when a big name gets in trouble that they fucking take action.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,670 Posted March 13, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted March 13, 2020 The theme of Western governments being like "let's not get carried away, this isn't necessary yet" turning into "okay actually we definitely need to do that" in the space of about 24 hours continues. I still think we should jump forward a few steps instead of waiting for things to get as bad as Italy and Spain before we put into place the same measures as Italy and Spain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I heard about that. Didn't see it but have read about it. Think it was a shit and weak thing to say. Not really very supportive but then again this government hasn't ever really shown that so I wasn't too surprised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
