when people are in despair, they want to see their leader, not only addressing them and treating them as individuals but also witnessing there actions. Again, the reaction times of this government were poor and the leader in hiding. As for him being King kanute, he's the one claiming he can turn the tide in 12 weeks!
As I said, I've not seen any new announcements today but the packages I have seen announced do not appear to be as extensive as you would have us believe.
And why oh why has the gov't not got a plan to deal with the panic buying?
Your Point 1
What a Load of Hogwash !! We are grown ups who don't need our hands holding like kids with BJ giving it "there,there don't cry" but do expect our Leaders to be beavering away with the precious time they have to try to fix things rather than having 2-3 days going around flooded areas listening to all the despair that doesn't fix diddly squat !
Your Point 2
Wrong again FlatCapper - he DID NOT say he can turn the tide, what he did say is that "WE CAN ONLY" turn the tide providing that WE all follow the guideline protocol and observe other stringents they will soon follow up with ! You are again trying to pin BJ on a blatant untruth !!
This may fail anyway as we have enough knobheads around this Cas Forum think they know better and still thinking it's nowt to worry about and will continue with there lives as normal instead of observing protocol laid out, so a 12 week period is ultimately doomed to failure and this will go on for months on end !
The only way is to lock down NOW and get the army / police to lay down martial law (like China and South Korea who have seen infection rates now tailing off) otherwise this could even go on for 1-2 years, that's if they don't come up with a vaccine till next year !
Your Point 3
On Panic Buying, do you expect the government to be a solver of all issues down to this issue when there are more pressing and more important decisions to be made ? Arse and Sweeping Brush comes back into mind again !! Supermarket Bosses etc should hold the responsibility to solve this in a professional manner with store security and rational quotas of product per person (even this wouldn't stop some selfish greedy arsed people going from store to store or going in and out of the store again and again).
