    Slightly unsure what point you're making on this one as we were solely talking about their non-prediction of being at 46,000 cases a day by the end of October (or whatever it was).

    Of course nobody knows what the numbers would be if they hadn't have done x, y and z. But that doesn't mean your can't criticise and challenge the numbers that we have 'achieved'. And this goes beyond the numbers that have sadly passed away in the last six months and looks at the impact they're having on the country and the clear and obvious errors they continue to make. The longevity of their decisions is heartbreaking to think about.

    We haven't had a care home or university strategy worth any salt since this whole pandemic started. Yet we have focused on the areas offering the least share of infections. I'm repeating myself, but you wouldn't last two minutes in the real world if you kept pointing at the smallest part of the pie chart and said that's where the focus needs to be to overcome something.

    but people such as DB3K didn’t know that, so I can only assume many more were the same

    Basically anyone who didn't watch the press conference and just read the headlines. Exactly what the government wanted to achieve.

    They've probably all mingled by now. Uni students tend to flock together, particularly the freshers, hence the well known term " freshers flu".

    That's no surprise. He had to have his arm twisted up his back to get his arse in gear to do it. It doesn't mean anyone else that matters thinks it was wrong.

    You're being deliberately obtuse again.

    No I'm not at all. But yet again you're trying to make it personal and offering snippy one liners and nothing else.

    You replied to something about October predictions with something about March. I genuinely couldn't correlate the two.

    The second sentence should have helped you correlate it. "No-one knows what the numbers would be if they had or hadn't done this, that or the other." In reply to you and others lambasting the October projection/prediction *delete as appropriate. Sorry for not being a waffler.

    Reading between the lines you must have thought there was some substance in their October scenario plotting if you think we're 'lambasting' it.

    Appreciate you're not a waffler but care to give us anything on that front?

    It's impossible for me to say either way, as I'm not privy to the data behind their projection. Neither are you.

    Wonder why they wouldn't just publish the data?

    Feels like a cop out that. You're not privy to all the 'data' involved in the club signing, not signing, players but still form an opinion? Reality being that none of us ever know the truth there.

    We are though all privy to the data of the last six months, and based on that there was likely a 99% of their scenario not being a reality. Therefore the only rightful conclusions to make are that they did it to scare us in to behaving better, considering that a high percentage of cases were coming from home, or they did it to create a sensationalist headline that the government knew would be shared by the media as a prediction, thus creating a positive light on the ridiculous restrictions they have enforced.

    Like a say. Only family buisneses closed and small building sites closed during a so called lockdown. asos...cake/jelly factories...other crowded unessential companys continued to operate because they have brass they get away with it. That dont exactly help with the numbers

    You want to speculate and criticise something you know nothing about. Fair enough. I don't. You are not an epidemiologist. There's no harm in speculating and criticising football signings.

    The numbers I've just seen show me that Schools and colleges not being opened strategically is to blame. Not re-opening the pubs. This government want you to go to work go home go to bed then back to work. Meanwhile it lets the people spreading the disease travel on public transport with the general population spreading the virus. We know who the carriers are and how it's spread yet nothing is being done to counter it. What about fines for students travelling during rush hour when there is a designated college bus? What about bans on them congregating in bus stations and hugging n' groping each other?

    I'm sorry but to leave one graph out there without alternative scenarios was deliberate. It became perceived as a prediction.
