Adding insult

Last night, and again this morning, the Health Secretary stated that there was a shortage of PE in the NHS because staff were using too much of it.

I have no words to describe this.

980 people died in the UK yesterday. I say 980, most did not die yesterday, some deaths occurred as long ago as 5th March, heaven knows what the real figure is. But the deaths are piling up, with London on second to New York as the global pandemic epicentre.

I hate to bring party politics into it, but I am anyway. But can you imagine the noise Fleet Street would have made if Labour under Corbyn or Starmer had overseen 980 deaths in a single day? But for the Tories and Boris this is a "good" Good Friday, apparently.

I'd hate to see a bad one.

Johnson will be recovering for a month at least, meanwhile, no idea who, if anyone, is in charge. Maybe its Larry the Downing Street cat?

Daily figures of fatalities are not reliable, so it seems, and little other data is available, and yet most seem to hope that the travel restrictions will be lifted on Monday week.

Hmmmmm. Had the correct travel restrictions and social distancing policies been implemented at the right time, rather than on or after March 12th, we wouldn't be here, but in order to get ahead of the curve, or ahead of the guessed curve, there has to be restrictions.

Germany is carrying out half a million tests per week. The UK has done 200,000 in total. Now tell me Johnson's doing or done a great job, because he is shit.
