Perhaps the more pertinent question is at what point did the government decide it was politically impossible to publicly sustain their initial "herd immunity" strategy?

I still find it pretty bizarre that someone's performance in front of TV cameras is somehow considered representative of their ability to actually make and effect important decisions. Most of the smartest people I know would choke horribly in a press conference or live interview.
Well, no - he genuinely seemed to understand the economic principles behind what he was announcing. I gather he's a former highly successful banker or something. I know that's a dirty word. But you'd hope your chancellor knows his shit economically. And he was certainly a more reassuring presence than Boris.

So we reckon Michael Give might not be lying, but presumably someone could be lying to him?

Exactly. I think in the situation he should be encouraged to join a union and report it.
Would you really want to organise with him though on a wider level? Or at least the persona he presents on here. There are certain people that will go to management as soon as they see a chance for themselves and it basic not to have them close.
It's very possible he doesn't work for Amazon. I don't engage him much but it wouldn't be a leap to think that part of the act is pretending to work for a universally disliked company.

Its certainly a pertinent question , I'd also add in and why but its its a bit like being in a quiz team with a team member that either gives you an answer to a question that isnt in the quiz or suggests what the question should be. I'm still intrigued and want to focus on the relationship between this penchant for eugenics and the Tory govt strategy for corona virus tbh.
It's a big part of the job spec surely. You're essentially a salesman while the civil service does the nuts and bolts.. Look at Corbyn. One of the worst communicators to ever lead a party - and look what happened to the Labour party under his watch. He had some great policies but couldn't get them across.

And yet we have people on this very forum doing that regarding the scientific advisors. Valance, Witty et al. pointy heads, no charisma etc.
I'd rather they really know their shit regarding epidemiology.

Coronavirus: What is intensive care and which patients need it? - BBC News
Doctors say PM Boris Johnson has been moved there as a precaution, should he need more complex care.
www.google.com
"St Thomas' has experience in treating coronavirus patients in its ICU. For extremely serious cases it can use a life support machine called ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) which replaces some of the function of the heart and lungs. There are only a handful of these machines around the country."
He'll have a better chance than the vast majority of ordinary c19 patients.

Note that Johnson reckons himself a modern Churchill, who is better known as an orator than a man of any actual principles, and whose legacy and reputation was bought and paid for by the labours, sacrifices and suffering of entire nations.

Aren't such assumptions based on the publicly stated views of Johnson, Vallance and Cummings, plus the overton shifting attempts of outriders like the eugenist cunt Young?

If Johnson is put on such a machine, they will almost certainly have had to take someone else off it.

Wasn't it Raab that was coughing all over everyone a few weeks back?
I was also thinking... Mortality rate is what between 1-5 percent. There are 600+ MPs sitting in parliament. Not all will catch it, but I'll let you do the maths.

There's enough press drones in the world, let the smart people keep working and farm out the TV shit to people who think doing TV shit constitutes a real job.

TBH Churchill's legacy and reputation are defined more or less entirely in comparison to his enemies. Without a Hitler-calibre evil villain against him he'd have gone down in history as a murderous scumbag.
Not sure a virus is going to do the same job for Johnson.

He can get off work if he just faxes in the original copy of his death certificate.
