The Conservatives are going to make a lot of noise over this, as it’s literally the only thing that can distract from their woeful handling of Covid-19. It’s pretty standard law-n-order posturing from the government.
Starmer’s position is more complex - he has to say they were naughty because if he said anything other than ‘it bad’ the press are going to crucify him. On the other hand, it’s just fucking spineless. The press are going to lynch him anyway, and fucking around trying to arrange the words to please everybody is a waste of time.

Fuck off, I’m not playing your dumb game of naming some rando MP. Starmer is going to be a useless squib of an opposition leader but feted in the right (wing) places. However, what he absolutely will not do is be effective in using the Corbyn supporters that joined the Labour Party looking for real change and community action - those guys are already fucked off by the dossier that came out and dropping party affiliations. What’s the sell to ground pounders now? “Starmer: he’s like nice solicitor guy who drives an Audi but is actually ok”

Starmer can look as competent as you want now, but announce an election and the press will make it look like he can’t put his trousers on without help. Meanwhile, Johnson and co are royally fucking up and they get the mildest of reprimands in the broadsheets. Starmer will continue to talk strong at the Johnson, which is going to have fuck all effect in terms of improving lives but will look great for the 12 people who read the Telegraph for the political sketch.

It's a disease that affects your ability to breath, so.... yeah people need to get on a ventilator if they're sick enough to be in ICU. It's the stuff that happens after that is the big problem.
It's an even bigger problem if you're expected to go back to work before Easter, like some people are expecting BJ to do.

Hitler was an Austrian. It's like Germany but it's an entirely different country, which is why the idea of a fictional pan-European state of white dudes was so important to them.
Coincidentally, the Covid-19 outbreak also came out of Austria so I guess that's twice that something came out of Austria and fucked the entire world.

China had SARS, which never reached the west, and that killed so many people they developed serious protocols for dealing with it. People with a fever where sent to a special fever triage clinic, and those with CV sent on to a specially built hospital, rather than back to their house to infect their family. What really fucked the Chinese was the long incubation period, so they developed the system of phone tracking and colour coded QR stamps to show if people were at risk. Seems unlikely the west is going to be doing this level of disease prevention anytime soon
So, because they self-identified as a woman I should have let them say whatever they want? Must have read your comment wrong
