Boris Johnson's government is reportedly furious with China and believes it could have 40 times more coronavirus cases than it claims

BoJo's about face on "do nothing to acquire herd immunity" won't save him. He goofed big time. Blaming China won't work even though there's truth to it.

Easier to distract pointing fingers that assume responsibility.

“herd immunity”

“we will take it on the chin”

Porton Johnson baked his cake and now has to sit on it

Easier to distract pointing fingers that assume responsibility.I thoight leaders were supposed to take charge and assume responsibility for crises like this. The Anglo-American style now seems to be to dither and shirk, then to point fingers when things get worse.

There are.

They just aren't in power in modern conservative governments. It seems conservative voters like idiots.

Only because nobody wants to give. Everybody wants to take.

It's actually quite a natural psychological reaction to support whoever is in leadership at times like this, despite differences.

Crisis grows and broadens a nationalistic pride, and you don't want to be seen against the suffering of the nation.

Happens in war, pandemics, whatever it might be.

Not saying everyone does, and I'm not even saying it's rational. But it's certainly measurable if you look at presidential support ratings within crises.

He listened to the experts for like a day or two, then started watching for Fox "news", and it all went to shit.

At least he backed off his stupid fucking Easter "fill the churches" dumbassery. Only a very stable genius could do that.

Thread said he's getting updates from CNN via John Hopkins, but CNN has been slow in updating their numbers. Also - for the millionth time - numbers are underreported during the weekend. We literally have gone through this every weekend since the outbreak started. It's like Groundhog Day in here with some posters.

[TimDunkem]

Hell, CNN's live broadcast is still saying 2,467 deaths when JHU has already confirmed over 2,500.

[RandomGuy]

At key moments in the outbreak, Johnson has seemed in denial about the size of the threat—and to his critics, it showed. At the start of the month, the premier quipped that while everyone must wash their hands for the time it takes to sing “Happy Birthday,” that did not stop him shaking hands with people he meets.

“I can tell you I am shaking hands continuously,” Johnson told reporters in a clip that has since gone viral on Twitter. “I was at a hospital the other night where I think there were actually a few coronavirus patients and I shook hands with everybody.”

If it gets to a 1,000 per day it'll be huge news, we will all see it & I'll stipulate at once & I'll bend right on over.

I called that 1k/day when there was 600 in the cuntry, total.

My next call is 2.5k/day, the math model is still churning the numbers so I'll give you that date once my 1k hits

I started at 2472 today.

It's now at 2487 on the CNN screen shot.

You ain't makin' it, kid. I'm in good shape for our wager.

Because they ain't wrong.

If the numbers are incorrect CNN/MSM will state that and move to a 1,000 death a day motif. I won't be able to hide that fact.

I got no problem if it goes to a 1,000 on another channel, or, source. It'll be right out there in broad daylight & will submit.

Until then I'm holding out for less than a 1,000 on a given day thru Thursday morning. If it ain't 1,000 a day on Thursday morning, 9AM EST time I'm declaring victory & rollin' a fuckin' barrel. & I'm gonna have me a barrel of fuckin' fun.

The 356 early reports was a puke out from the backlog over the weekend. Normally the midnight reporting contains 60-70% of the deaths. I'd expect it to be a bit lower due to under-reporting the weekend. But still, your timeline is extremely sensitive whereas mine is wide, and no doubt you've already lost

Nonsense, Splits. MSM will alert us both if & when it hits a 1000-a-day. They'll be all over it & you know it.

I got my fingers crossed I won't see that information on a tv screen, or, the CNN Internet page. All I can do is hope.

In this case, though, the data is VERY heavily skewed towards the first hotspot, NY. So many other states are just beginning their curves.
