Anyone watch Hancock on qt tonight?

Publius Ovidius · Apr 2, 2020

He said

Yes people can get in their car, drive to a secluded spot to get their exercise. To walk on the downs etc

Erm.. this is exactly what the police are trying to stop aren’t they?

Surely they must stop giving mixed messages!

Mike Small · Apr 2, 2020

Surely everyone will go to a secluded spot hence making it crowded. Just a thought.

Just watching it now. Not convinced by his answers on the 100000 tests a day by the end of the month and whether they would be to test for virus or immunity

Watched it and I thought he was very good on it tonight. He was understanding and as determined as I have seen him so far. Looks like he is taking charge of things at last.!!!

Didn't watch it but presume he was on for about 30 minutes?

I see what you did there.

I don't know why they don't just ban outside exercise? It's not essential when you can do plenty of exercise in your front room, and is left open to abuse.

Because they don’t want to minimise the spread. They just want to control it to keep hospital admissions below maximum capacity.

Stealth Herd Immunity strategy.

Marty___Mcfly · Apr 3, 2020

Herd immunity seems to be an emotive term so they will avoid using it.

It does however seem that the only realistic option is to get to the point where enough people have had it to slow the spread to a point where we could reduce lockdown measures and still keep hospital admissions below capacity.

So some spread occurring keeps us moving towards that point.

And they want to keep as many businesses operating as possible to reduce the economic impact.

Because vitamin D is essential for the immune system and getting out of the house is essential for mental health?

Sounds likely.

It is clear that if everyone is locked in - with hazmatted military delivering food - and no one gets it, then the total lockdown will be for 18 months until there is a vaccine.

I don't criticise the strategy as such, I roll my eyes at the spin and stealth of it.

There is a more nuanced approach that is outlined by Prof Devi Sridhar, chair of global public health at the University of Edinburgh.
It’s in line with WHO’s ‘test, test, test’ approach but will require 75,000-100,000 tests per day.

Dementia patients relatives told they won’t be admitted to hospital, but just made comfortable within the home with a DNR.

or for long as it takes to increase enough capacity. they may have achived this already.

My wife and I were discussing something similar a few weeks ago. If/when this really ramps up and the hospitals are over whelmed we are assuming that younger people will take priority over older people for beds and ventilators. As an older person I believe that this is how it should be. When I say older I mean over say 60?

As an aside and watching Naga Munchetty interviewing Hancock, I find her aggressive and demanding interview technique fecking irritating.

Bang on - the aggressive approach of the BBC breakfast team is a disgrace.

It also means their deaths won’t be included in official figures for CV19.

Was this today, this morning ? If so, when does the poor bugger ever get behind his desk to actually do the job he should be doing ?

Publius Ovidius · Apr 3, 2020

Over 60!

With more people living go 100 that means you are suggesting that people are no longer useful or needed after just over half their life?

Blimey.... bring on Logan’s run
