R number still too high across the country, over 8000 new cases a day aswell and now a lot of people up here and especially in England more or less taken the slight relaxing of the rules to mean that we are back to normal, this is going to be horrible, stay safe folks.

Boris having an absolute mare here taking questions from MPs

Starmer has just murdered Boris at PMQs again, as one sided as you can get.

It would appear from the tone of the governments scientists that they now realise they have been getting set up for the fall, Vallance today explaining that the government are 'informed by the science not led by it'. Also one of the female medical officers was saying that it was to do with money (no shit) as to why the country didn't shut down earlier. As for that app, glad that a lot of people have shunned it as it's no more than glorified spyware.

Episode 3

I'll stick this here although it only touches briefly on the virus and what it could mean going forward to some WILD stuff in this

main two rumours on twitter is that they want either Gove or Patel to take over from him, the ERG have held a meeting and 31 of the 51 there voted for Patel, Gove has Murdoch as his main backer, probably all shit but Boris has to be done here as should Hancock and that fruit that done the briefing yesterday.

It's all good and well knowing that you've got the antibodies but in the grand scheme it means fuck all, there's no proof of immunity, more and more people are testing positive for a second time, the government and their backers are just trying to force it so they can start the country up again.
