The Only One With The Brains.

I watched Chris Witty last night giving a speech / lecture, not sure if it was a repeat of earlier, or the first time its been on, but on for a good hour. An in depth look at not only this virus, but past ones, and the response to drugs and vaccines. Can't say I fully understood all the technical science at times but for a man of his intelligence explained the present problem very well to the not so clued up, along with pretty simple slide show throughout.

This man is in my opinion the key to fighting this virus, and its a good job we have him.
Listening to this guy gave me the impression, he has up to a point, not been listened to in full by other government ministers in the very early stage of this virus hitting the UK, in fact at more than one occasion seemed to imply such, ( in my opinion) I get the feeling this guy has been gagged up to a point, but now for what ever reason allowed to give his full opinion and expert advice.

I'm in hope that Matt Hancock takes more note of what he says and follows his advice to the letter, because has yet he doesn't have appeared to do so in many ways. And I still believe even with all the advice from Chris Whitty has made a pigs ear of the whole situation.
There's only 3 people you need at these briefings ( and not every day) Boris because at least you seem to get the truth, ( no false statements or promises it is has it is) Raab and Chris Whitty. I for one won't ever believe what Matt Hancock says again.

Well , I know its not good all round for anyone, but I was absolutely gob smacked when the government first said that they were going to pay 80% of peoples wages, and for self employed, along with other business expenses. Now whether all this has materialised has it should, albeit at a slow pace, I don't know. As for pensioners income, it may be that they will be the very few that will have disposable income in the coming months to help boost the economy. Its highly unlikely that holidays abroad will be on the cards for a long time, so money will be spent in the UK.
But I still say that most have had it to good for to long, and this situation will bring us back down to earth, plus we don't have much choice but to take what's on offer, (some better than none.) Look at the poverty in other countries and we have nothing to complain about. We have never been in a position were we can't just have what we want, when we want it, and it don't go down well.
