‘A Covid-19 alert system is set to be launched by the government in England to track the virus, the prime minister is expected to announce on Sunday.

The system will rank the threat level from coronavirus on a scale of one to five and be adjusted according to data.

The new system will apply to England only but the government is working with the devolved administrations as they develop their own.

It is understood the system will be similar to the one used to keep the public informed about the terror threat level and Mr Johnson is expected to say England is currently at stage four but moving towards stage three.

The warning tool will also reflect the virus threat in different parts of the country, which could mean the threat level in one city could differ quite widely from another.’

I can only assume that Boris is the ‘warning tool’ referred to in the article

Stay alert - Control the virus - Save lives

There you go, any more deaths are our fault, over 31,000 of us simply haven’t been alert enough.

Ohhhh, bit harsh mate. Plenty of people in care homes had no choice.
 
Another distraction attempt.
Can't get PPE sorted after 4 months
Can't get testing sorted after 4 months
Can't or daren't show transparency over the scientific advice
Can't organise a tracking app that works

But they can give the crisis a number. I would not be surprised if they launched it with another xxxxing badge. "We are wearing the number 4 badge today but isn't the number 3 badge pretty- if only people in care homes could stop dying for us we might be able to look slightly less of an incompetent 💩show.
Still some people will still say that they are doing their best and we shouldn't criticise or point out that every other developed nation bar the USA has managed the crisis better, and they have the dangerously deranged Donald to screw them up.

“Stay alert - Control the virus - Save lives”. Are they being serious about tinkering with the slogan? Now they don’t want us to “Stay Home” but go out and play “Dodge the Virus” ?

“Stay Alert” ?!? How the feck do I do that? Keep looking over my shoulder in case the virus (or some coughing bastard) is sneaking up on me?

How we are supposed to “control” something we can’t see, hear, or feel until it’s too late is beyond me. The only control I have is to keep away from infected people as much as I can. If that takes the rest of the year to stay at home, then so be it. I will enjoy gardening and growing veg.

I really don’t see the point.
The response level should be measured by actions, not stupid ratings.

So it’s not this App where you can track the health of your contacts (who you shouldn’t be meeting, and if they have a temperature or cough should be self isolating anyway!)
 
The fact a while ago the hospitals were sending elderly into care homes to free up beds without testing them poor people tells you why the care homes are in the critical position they now find themselves in. Should never have happened at all. The government need to step in and get this awful disease under control in care homes.
 
Whether the op is political point scoring or not it does have elements of truth in it. As for tears if Trumpy or Boris kick the bucket I wouldn’t wish that, but can honestly say there would be no tears, as the only tears I’ve shed were for my mum & a family pet, a bit harsh on my fantastic dad but he died slowly drifting away over a few years (dementia) there was nothing left bar relief that he suffered no more. Mass wailing’s Korea style anyone!

All well Gareth thanks, I’m assuming the odd text I get from our Mark isn’t his phone on an automated transmission because the jokes are still as bad as ever - glad to see you and yours are well too, stay safe - maybe I should use a sarcasm font then? Damn, forgot to change it, again!
 
This might just be the most incompetent cabinet of all time.There isnt one of them that fills you with any confidence.They hide behind the advice given to them by scientists and the scientists hide behind the decisions that government have to make.They still to this day blame each other for this shitshow.

How incompetent must you be to still not have the situation in care homes under control or plans to.It was obvious from early on this was the threat.To send more in to them untested was a national disgrace and should be investigated.
 
Meanwhile, in other news, I've read this morning that the German Government are having to re-introduce isolation in some areas due to spikes in the infection rate, 150 new cases in one business as an example.

South Korea, which thought it had beaten the virus is now starting to see a second wave.

Russia is the new centre for infections with no sign of a peak in their numbers as yet.

So, where do we go from here?
 
Im not sure the germans are going to be able to reintroduce lockdown even if they want to.

'A furious backlash against the German Government erupted on the streets on Saturday, as thousands of protesters broke social distancing rules during a series of rallies. The protests took place on Europe Day. Thousands of angry Germans chanted demands for "freedom" amid anger at Angela Merkel's handling of the coronavirus lockdown measures. '

Although some have done better than others, there doesn't appear to be a country in the world which can control this virus. But of course that shouldn't put a stop to all the experts on social media scoring agenda driven political points. Of course not.
 
Will Cat appear now he might realise we are not the only country having problems getting to grips with this virus? Whereas the o/p might have a point with some of what he says, if pool is right in what the o/p said, then yep it's political point scoring from some-one with a sick mind. It's sad and tragic that anyone dies from this virus. No matter who they are.

Sorry not seen or heard anything like that here in Munich, it's all very orderly and calm.

The person who wrote that, is clearly just stirring up trouble for Merkel, the government here decides nothing. The lockdown rules can only be issued by the local state authority, hence why some states such as Bavaria are far harsher than others.

It's a federal system, and the state politicians seem to have a very high level of support on this. I've seen no dissent in any form. Not sure what people could be angry about the German response, as usual, has been incredibly successful.

Munich yesterday... Other protests took place across Germany, with over 3,000 people in Munich and thousands in Stuttgart. Calmer and without violence but still protesting..

Quote from the o/p previous-I wouldn’t shed a tear if Donald died and I wouldn’t have had Boris died.
What kind of sad person posts that.👎

A nice bit of quoting out of context from Pool ‘of tears’ seasider there, plus a degree of stating the bleeding obvious

I quote an article from the bbc news site, suggest that Boris is a feckwit and a tool and he thinks I’m point scoring

I can’t imagine how Pool could begin to defend giving Covid a number from 1 to 5 as being in the interests of anyone .... I see this this morning that the number is apparently 4 not 3. Does that mean I should be 1 more concerned than yesterdayPeople are dying whilst this feckwit government and his cronies are pissing in the wind with sheer bloody nonsense such as this
 
Until now most of the country has accepted the argument that the crisis is unprecedented and have accordingly given the government the benefit of the doubt and cut it a lot of slack.

I sense that is changing and people across the political spectrum are becoming less forgiving and more critical.

PPE - by now we should have made much more progress than we have.
Testing - WHO said from Day 1 that the key was testing, testing, testing. We should be much further forward than we are.
Care Homes - from the start everyone knew the elderly were the most vulnerable. How the fuck was it possible to allow people with Covid to be admitted/work in care homes?
Quarantine for people flying in - we MAY be imposing it now, weeks after the lockdown started.
Mixed Messaging - the headlines in the tabloids on Thursday were pretty much “Hurrah - the End of the Lockdown.” That can only be as a result of a briefing from someone high up in government; either someone incompetent or someone with an agenda of bouncing Boris into a greater relaxation of the lockdown.
The Blame Game - again someone high up is briefing against Hancock, hence the headlines today.

Public sentiment is definitely changing, and there’s a view growing across the political spectrum that the cabinet is inept and not up to the task in hand. And whilst defenders of the government might hide behind the “political point scoring” mantra, that’s increasingly less credible when criticism is coming from the right as well as the left.
 
No mention on this thread about the millions NHS goggles purchased by Gordon Brown that are not fit for purpose, allegedly.

If you're not politically point scoring then exactly what is the point of your post? You've come on here to have a go at the govt. It may even be with some justification. But whether you like it or not, it's politically point scoring. .

Leaving aside the fact you seem to be trying to score political points (shame on you!!), Gordon Brown was removed as PM in 2010. Has it taken the government 10 years to realise the goggles aren’t up to snuff?

Hardly a ringing endorsement of its competence is it?

And guess what, every attempt to defend the government’s record by using the mantra “you are just political point scoring” is - guess what - just political point scoring.
 
Political points aside, a bloody alert system and an app that's also pointless unless most use it correctly, which they won't are stupid vanity projects so they have something to trumpet while deflecting from the real problems like lack of PPE.

It's all about the testing and they've fucked that up.

Interesting point mex, Again leaving the point scoring out of it, and dealing with the general poInt, I believe a lot of the PPE stuff had an expiry date which was past it's sell by date so to speak. H ow does a gov't of any colour know when something like this pandemic is gonna hit us. .And in what form it's gonna be. Should every govt be required to spend millions and millions of pounds on equipment that might not be needed and have a short life span. Were previous govts planning for this say 20,30 and even more years ago. I don't know the answer or have one.
 
In a democracy isn't the point to question, debate and if necessary find fault. Why has this now been termed political point scoring?
It's up there with the derogatory term MSM, it's much of a nonsense but all very catchy for the 2 minute attention span of Mr/Mrs Average.
Anyway I recall the govts early door policy of protecting the vulnerable, the term putting a ring of steel around them was used. That been a massive failure in relation to care homes.

The words don't really match the visual evidence, furious backlash? Erupted on the streets? That's the festplatz not a street, broke social distancing rules?

As said before Merkel and the federal government cant impose anything, not sure where this article originated but I think they are more interested in criticising Merkel than telling you the facts.

and no mention of operation Cygnus from 2016 which would have brought this to their attention and STILL they won't release the findings!!!!
Don't need to 'political point score' as this shower keep scoring own goals. Led by donkeys!!
 
Go on then ,I'll politically point score. I'll be glad when this crisis is over because then we can get back to what this message board was created for. Football! There's a good few on here who have never contributed much with regards to that. They just never seem to post on football, both now and in the past. Can't wait to be rid of you.

I dunno either. Frankly if it was up to me, and unless it was totally useless kit, I’d be tempted to take a pragmatic approach and adopt the line “it’s got to be better than no protection at all”.

I just hope it’s not some jobsworth with a clipboard making the decision.

Too true 20's. This site has more than it's share of jumped up numpties who profess to be experts in pandemics, Brexit, politics etc.
Just about everything but football. And there's one jumped up numpty who's by far the worst offender.
I'm looking forward to the next election when no doubt some of them will be standing for parliament. It would such a waste if they didn't stand, such is their amazing breadth of knowledge and experience in running a country.

The protests across major cities in Germany amounted to a few thousand and was apparently orchestrated by the AfD and some fairly dodgy far right elements. It implies that the majority are fervently anti lockdown with little evidence. Political agitators will jump on this sort of crisis to further their own aims and is fuck all to do with safety/ concern for the public.
 
I got my facts right. If there was no BFC there would be no message board. Like I said some posters post very little about the prime aim of this msb which is BFC. And yep, you're one of them. I could even quote a post from some-one who said he refrained from posting after the general election. Wonder why that was? Maybe because they are a one trick pony with nothing else to say about any other subject than politics.
