Wednesday 8 April 2020 12:57No 10 has admitted it has no idea when the peak of the coronavirus pandemic will hit, making an early easing of the lockdown even less likely.
Lets be honest here, BorisJohnson and his chums had months to prepare for the pandemic but chose not to. They have blood on their hands.
OK, do they have a clue about the valley when are we getting there?
It doesn’t matter. We are locked down til there are : antibody tests, a way to stagger our way out of lock down or universal basic income is a thing and we don’t need jobs. It’s a global problem. We need a global solution
I'd be more surprised if they did,I think they need to let there medics lead on this
They’re being honest at least
To be fair which govt does know when it will peak ,we had a dip in the daily totals the other day but it’s gone up again
And this is news? I think we could have all guessed that. Most of the Government have or have had the virus so they clearly there are errors being made
While most of Government are getting ill with COVID19 ! Not surprised with their suprises anymore.😉
In about 3 weeks. You're welcome.
This headline should simply read...The government has no idea.
dr_shibley Just for the record, the government go off the best possible advice from our brightest and best microbiologists, virologists, epidemiologists and collected data. Perhaps the independent can do better in the case of a novel coronavirus in such a dense populous? Yeah. So STFU.
Asher_Wolf 'Government admits it has no idea' There, fixed it for you.
And why is this considered as breaking news? It's a perfectly normal reaction on behalf of our government. It would be a great surprise for me if they knew exactly what they're doing.
After 1 month of no new cases is the correct time to lift the lockdown but it wont be effective unless we follow Chinas example & make secure our borders fully against illegal migration & have a months quarantine for all legal migrants Also weeks storage to kill surface viruses
Forzabahab Could have saved all of those characters after 'idea'
Sneekyboy Not surprised one bit, given that UK borders are still open.
Honesty is the best policy?
KeepLeftOfLeft Headless chickens right from the start
Obviously
How could It know?
How the hell would they no ?
Well. That's reassuring. That explains partially why Bojo is spending several nights in ICU.
No country knows when it will hit the Peak.
The quote from Hancock was 'It is too early to say when the peak is going to be.' What a shit and misleading headline from this second rate paper.
And what is the definition of ‘peak’? Is it people getting affected per day or total, is it daily mortality rate or total or is it people start getting well or no new patients admitted in A&E?
So, typical Press, when are we being locked down? When is the lock down being lifted? When will it all end? Seriously THERE IS NO RULE BOOK FOR THIS!! Just support the government 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
UKParliament couldn't open a umbrella in the rain...
saharaguts But we're sure the Independent can tell us......
How do you mean 'admits'? They have said that over and over right from the beginning!
No lover of the government/conservatives however, even asking this stupid question at this moment in time is unbelievable. We have a long, long way to go before we even need to think about it.
Lets be honest they no idea what the hell going on telling us we got enough ventilators then begging trump for 200 this lying lot are clueless
Could easily have stopped after the first 6 words
I just don’t understand why journalists ask such naive and stupid questions and headline this to show Gov’t’s inability to answer; who on earth can say this? Is it something when death figure hits a certain number? What if the actual crosses or doesn’t cross that number?
Who is shocked by this? Anyone?
Of course they don't, nobody does it is basic common sense.
China were in lockdown for 11 weeks.
This is also why I started to earn money online for who knows how long and at home resources are being used. Now I get 700% profit on my investment all in one week. The process is simple online steps. Ask me for more info. Be prepared for the long run. Start to earn from home
No source for this 'story' I see, just a 'government spokesman'. Does any country know when the peak is? I don't think so - just follow the science & we will find out when it happens. Another spurious story. Why can't the media just report the facts.
It will depend on the population and their actions particularly this coming weekend!
If they said a date then had to change it you would still find fault in the media ...They can't win..No wonder the newspapers are going under jeez.
...
How on earth do you square “forecasts ranging from this weekend to a full week later” with “no idea” This is just incompetent scaremongering! Please find some news to report.
Care homes PPE (full equipment) shouldn’t be needed in care homes. Reason their not equipped to care for CPD19. Normally if a resident is sick, 999 is called and their admitted to hospital. May return when well. If signs of CPD19,call 999,send to hospital. Keir_Starmer krishgm
Only the first six words are strictly necessary
Reassuring 😂
Behavioural science at work here. If they say the peak is going to be on Sunday every idiot and his dog will be out sunning themselves on Monday.
Then you have all these people going on about lockdown, keep the nation save BS. You have the biggest danger to public health in power which is the Tory party.
I’m bored.
According to The Telegraph, the peak will be between April 11/14th. So there we have it folks.. no need to listen to government, their healthcare professionals or scientists. Unbelievable media headlines at this time.
No idea, but they would reopen...
Which government in the world does? THIS IS NEW! I would rather have a Government that adapts to circumstances, moves quickly and listens to the experts. Very, very happy with our Government so far.
No shit sherlock
Should/could have stopped after “idea”.
Brexit brexit !!!
Ah the independent another source of fact based reporting - if only.
The govt have no idea about anything.
Pmacgiollabhain To many words.. yiu should have stopped at idea..
Great piece of click bait. But does anybody know right now? Would a different gov know? Particularly with the lack of regard for restrictions that have been put into place. IMO people need to actlikeyouhaveit and realise that this is not an extended “spring holiday” staysafe
'UK will have Europe's worst coronavirus death toll, says study'
Will the Independent buy them a crystal ball?
This “government” has no idea full stop!
It has no idea of the price of a loaf of bread either.
i got my brain read word from god said god mad then wrong where respect gold for me gold is law god duh peoples wrong idea steal god mad now warn world
Do you
The government knowing fuck all, is nothing new to me 😂
Not surprised. It’s a living thing that wants to live. Could be months before it gives up
Computer models, scientific advice from experts? Is there a point to it then if its doesn't give you a guidence to make decisions? Wool and pulled spring to mind!
Why would they? Some still not getting it into their thick skulls the need to self distance.
Why do they even exist?
Bastards 1000s dying and they haven’t a clue I hope everyone who voted Tory is happy with them 🤡
BREAKING - Government admits is has no idea. That's it. That's the headline.
Ban outside exercise whilst its still cooler weather
Jason_Gregory_ The Central line was crowded with people as it stopped at Liverpool Street during morning rush hour on 7th April, despite coronavirus restrictions being in place. Read the latest on the UK's COVID19 outbreak:
“Government admits it has no idea “.. there I fixed it for you ..
Well, well, well. So the government say the don't know and somehow you make a story pit of it. Since when did you become clairvoyant. Once again the government speaks common sense. We don't know, you don't know but I am sure behind the scenes work on this is being done.
Is anyone surprised...?
The source for this story is named as “Government spokesperson.” Name them or don’t quote them. Otherwise how can we hold them accountable? Or is that the point?
Covid 19 and the Monty Python Government- tragedy
Government has no idea...now there's a new thing!
Its because there is no future 'peak', they have slowed the spread from just over 20% per day to 10% per day, this is the direct response from the lockdown (Gov figures). This IS the peak! This is Herd Immunity in action, where Covid19 is allowed to SLOWLY work through society!
No nation does, they are all guessing...
Around 15th April ?
That sentence didn’t need the last 6 words.
Wrong headline! Should be: Government admits it has no idea about anything.
Does anyone ! The lockdown is prolonging the peak.
*Government have no idea
Fuckwits - they're going to see a backlash this Easter Weekend.
