She’s the one telling everyone else to stay at home but this was her second 2nd trip to her second home but it’s all the suns fault ????

Lets get it right, Johnson and co are telling, she's passing the message on ?

She deserves all the criticism that comes her way, but not to lose her job, especially when there's a cabinet minister who have previous for class A's telling people to stay in.

The least said about that organisation, the better.

I dont care whether she's the best for the job or what her politics are...she's potentially caused the police a massive headache just at the time we need to keep people inside.

She may be CMO but her specialty is gynaecology.
If anyone should be there advising the country it should be an expert in microbiology and virology

Sure this has been covered off before. I believe her current area of expertise is medical administration, hence her position

It’s a little sad, the mass hysteria this has caused. Stay inside, wash your hands, worry about what directly affects you

Hey I'd just like to apologise to you as a new member of this forum. You haven't even had a chance to post anything about golf yet but have solely been involved in taking a seriously biased view on this thread. I am sure you will get to post about your own course, three putting and the PGA tour in the future …...

I get what Crazyface is saying, the govt is drip feeding us bad news, they said 3 weeks to flatten the curve and give us manageable targets to cope with. They may need to keep isolating us for a year or two years but would never say that, no-one knows how long this will run.
Many people will not be able to handle it long term. No money, claustrophobia, boredom etc.
Civil Unrest is not a term anyone wants to hear but the 'sod this for a game of soldiers we're going out' attitude will increase over time. Money or lack of will drive desperate people too.
We all know current measures are simply so NHS isn't overwhelmed, nothing to do with actually ridding us of the virus, just buying time.

Maybe Sweden have it right?

Hancock's idea of getting those who have had it antibody tested and certificated back to work makes sense. Herd immunity is an ugly term but that's what is happening.

Isn't it true without a vaccine the only way to defeat it is for every single person in the world to fully isolate at the same time for 3 weeks so it runs it's course with those carrying/suffering then dies off without new hosts?
Cannot be done of course because as a humane species we treat our ill and we have to interact to do all manner of things like feed ourselves and keep societies and economies functioning.

Presently we are only just managing it to a degree.

Happy Days!?

Thank you. I know I sound a bit nutty and a tad extreme (views slightly to the right of Ghengis Khan someone once said), but my rage is because we (them that get the opportunity) are not asking the right questions of the people in charge.

She’s Scotland’s chief medical officer who sees fit to ignore her own advice twice, but lets blame the sun newspaper

I can still, pass on the virus through touch.
I could pick it up from a door handle, supermarket trolley, or anything else and pass it on from that.
I might be immune and not directly infectious but I still have to obey the restrictions

Ah, yes, you are completely right what you say here. My comments were about the re infected bit?.
I was envisaging the situation where NHS staff had tested for antibodies etc and I thought you were suggesting they would still be able to pass on the virus to patients because of breathing at close quarters etc, as in the treatment situations.
Essential we're on the same hymn sheet?
