… we ain’t going to get it !
In my post of 19th May I referred to .. “the way that our so-called ‘leaders’ have handled matters” .. with regard to the Covid-19 pandemic; and, it would seem that there is a real possibility that things may get worse, because, as I see it, the dithering dimwits seem to think that they know better than the scientists and researchers who warn against the rush to relax the ‘lockdown’ precautions.
Just to illustrate that point …
The government … “Facemasks are not going to be mandated for general use by anyone leaving the house, nor are they recommended for exercising, schools, offices or other workplaces”.
A World Health Association study showed that nothing could provide complete protection, although .. “facemasks have a strong shielding effect, reducing the risk of catching the virus by up to 85%” .. !
If you ever wanted proof of this ministerial incompetence and inconsistency, you have it in the latest ill-thought-out relaxation of the rules and the introduction of “Test and Trace”, which seems to have a number of technical, communication and “scammer” problems. Not to mention the fact that a vaccine does not exist to treat the person who has been traced.
Now I see that Health Secretary Matt Hancock has been accused by the UK Statistics Authority of telling ‘porkies’ when presenting testing statistics, as testing statistics “fall well short of expectations”.
No surprise there then. Just call him …
… “Misleading Matt”.
