Chaos and madness continues

With the peak of COVID-19 upon us, or not, depending on whether you believe the Government's data, hopes that Government might be realising that maybe experts can be right, and that there should be some kind of delay and maybe a rethink on Brexit. But no, confirmation that even if the EU requests a delay, the UK will say no, as apparently the UK could have dealt better with the virus as an independent nation rather than tied to the EU.

The thinking is that if the UK economy comes through such a shock like we are experiencing now, then Brexit should be easy.

Also it means that any economic fallout could be blamed on COVID-19 rather than the perfect Brexit they will bring us.

But this is like having been struck by lightning, you may as well stick your wet finders in a plug socket back home, as what have you got to lose?

Anyway, in virus news, things are going worse, as some hospitals will run out of gowns and other PPE today. The Health Minister says he doesn't have a magic wand and resupply will take time. But again, the Government knew this was happening in January, supplies could and should have been secured then. Over 80 nurses, doctors and other health workers have dies from COVID-19, that number will get worse. Appallingly.

If soldiers went into battle without weapons or ammunition there would be an outcry, why is the Government being given such an easy ride on this?

And it was suggested that the total fatalities in the UK could top 40,000. That is two jumbo jets crashing every day for the rest of the year.
