Terry Venables?

Isn't the higher number of positives because we're testing a lot more people? Also, many of these people went for a test because they thought they had the virus. But these people aren't being sent straight to ICU so the implication is that they will recover either at home or in a 'normal'...

A couple of days ago, on a different thread, people were accusing the BBC of cosying up to the government and coming up with 'good' stories to make sure their licence fee was protected. After that I don't think so - unless Panorama have gone rogue.

Crikey, what weight is above a super-heavyweight? To look at him he's heavier than Tyson Fury, or David Haye when he looked like he was modelling for Michelin.

Isn't that what I said?

Of course you aren't, not even by implication.

It's a shame that so many people are straining to criticise the NHS and, through them, the government without even trying to understand the issues they are faced with.

Do you know if all the £1.3 billion of 'stuff' is being delivered in one lot, or is it being staggered - if it's all in one lot then I'll be staggered. If it's being staggered do we know what the rationale is for delivering to those that need it? For example, is it in proportion to each...

I don't think they did have spare cash but the govt said they would get 'whatever it takes' to tackle this. The problem being that whatever they wanted to purchase wasn't on the shelves.

The problem isn't just with the Govt, it started with the NHS procurement processes. Although the NHS care capacity hasn't been breached their ordering processes have been. For years they had a cosy life where they ordered stuff to replenish falling stocks and got it exactly when they wanted it...

I was just watching the newspaper review on sky news and a report said that 75% of NHS staff deaths due to CV19 were BAME. This is far too big a figure to be coincidence.

Not necessarily, but I can't see any figures. Bearing in mind that there seems to be a marked slant toward BAME and older people when it comes to Covid deaths I wonder whether these countries have a similar demographic and, if so, how they fared. However, I suspect that theirs isn't the same as...

Do we know what the total number of 'front line' healthcare workers are for Spain, Italy and France? And then, do we know how many have died? I would like to get a view on how the health services in these countries fared with little or no PPE.

You don't change horses when you're winning the war, you do it when you're losing.

I thought that was Mike Pence's strategy.

Well, he would have had an open goal. All he needed to say was 'We have a problem getting hold of PPE and testing kits because of the last 10 years of cuts. We're doing our very best and will let you know when the stuff arrives' And he would have published the Russia report.
