It makes sense not to have any confidence in the current UK govt.
So don't.
But listen to the scientist who have been calling for action for weeks. They know what they are talking about.
NHS staff know what they are talking about.
Other governments know as well.
James doesn't.
You want to hold the govt to account?
Here's a list:
-Why did it wait for weeks instead of following science?
-When will it stop sending Covid money to its cronies and use it to fund local authorities/qualified suppliers/the NHS, and to support impacted businesses/people instead?
Because if this lockdown is not used to set a functional test/trace/isolate system, that can but mean another one will be necessary soon
And if businesses/people don't get the support they need, yeah, the economy will be devastated
But how to do that? 👇
It's quite simple really:
Stop sending money to unqualified private providers and fund people who know what they are doing instead.
End of.

FTR in France, there is concern that pupils wearing masks and 15-minutes ventilation every two hours in school, together with social distancing, class bubbles and hand-washing may not be enough.
Just saying.
Ok first morning at school with a mask for my 8 years old -his 4 year old brother is not to wear one.
People we have a problem.
My youngest son is dead jealous that his brother has masks with pretty butterflies on it and WANTS ONE TOO (emphasis his).
Ok ok I'll get some more

I see that ”Brexit would have been great if it wasn’t for Remainers!” rhetoric is back.
So one more time:
There’s no great Brexit.
EFTA Brexit = higher cost -and wasn’t on the table
Out of SM/CU =paperwork/queue/higher costs for exports/imports.
And unsolvable issue of NI border
The problem with a ”great Brexit” is not that ”Remainers wouldn’t cheer for it”
It’s that it doesn’t exist in this reality.
Many people tried to explain that -but the alt-reality had an unchallengeable platform
Don’t blame Remainers, blame the lack of safeguards against fake news
The debate truly should have been between what’s possible and what isn’t, but it was twisted as a ”battle of opinions“.
And still is.
Which is totally unhelpful.

In other news, Italy is voting this week-end
What's at stake?
Arguments pro-reform: "More efficiency, less expensive"
Arguments anti-reform: less representation (small parties would be the more impacted) & (as Liliana Segre said): "Parliament is the highest expression of democracy, it can't be considered just as a cost."
Why is it happening BTW?
It was an electoral promise from the Five Star Movement, part of the coalition deal with the PD to set a government instead of going for elections as Salvini wanted
Prognostics are "Yes" is set to win (officially supported by 5SM, Lega, PD)

“We got a $155k Grant from a US religious foundation to say that
(But trust us we only have your best interest at mind)“
“There are better way to organise healthcare! Look at privatised testing/tracking system. Isn’t it much better when the NHS isn’t in charge? Let’s use this pandemic to push for privatisation, otherwise sick people abuse the system by having access to it“

Hi this is France
We’re f**ked
(When the optimistic note is: “We have 29,000 available ICU beds for the winter“ -what it means is we’re f**ked)
The elderly’s contaminations are raising (+45%), hospitalisations too (+50%) & deaths doubled in the part week
linternaute.com/actualite/guid…
That’s the thing with this virus: When cases start raising exponentially saying “oh but look no more hospitalisations/deaths so it’s OK now!“ is forgetting there’s a 2/3 weeks delay between the cause and the consequences.
Acc. to last data the number of cases doubles every 2 weeks. Govt announced a smarter testing strategy (prioritisation of ppl referred by the doctor) for faster results
But also set the isolation period to 7 days (was 14) &said if a kid is sick his classmates keep going to school

Bonjour @Gravel91 @gouvernementFR @NunezLaurent
Je voudrais signaler une secte opérant en toute impunité sur le territoire, dont le but est non seulement de contrer la prévention de la propagation du virus, mais aussi le désordre public, voire la guerre civile.
Une analyse rapide de la rhétorique et de la stratégie de recrutement du mouvement ici (rien de vraiment nouveau, mais des accroches variées et efficaces et différentes "vitrines" ayant pour conséquence un recrutement bien dissimulé et large)
Parmi les "vitrines" on peut citer l'ensemble des théories conspirationnistes du moment -notez que le mouvement est coordonné dans différents pays et qu'il est (bien évidemment) boosté par des acteurs bien connus de la désinformation/destabilisation
