I must admit that I have sympathy with Pitboot. I share the opinion in his previous posts, second guessing or taking an opposite view on here will not change a thing and reading left/right wing papers will not make anything clearer. I vote for all coronavirus posts to be deleted and just stick to walking issues in future.
Some of Pitboot's recent posts:-
"Follow government advice sent out in emails and local police advice through texts and email.
It's not that I am burying my head in the sand, it's the fact that with 24 hour media everyone with an "ishoo" is muddying the waters of genuine information and advice with opinion. The words "could", "might", and "should" seem to be used with abandon."
"ALL of these journalists get my goat. Just about every article I've read, from many papers and news sites, are critical in their own way. I've dropped off FB because of fake news, I can't bring myself to look at the BBC. (Yes, both in the same sentence.)
The government is made up of human beings trying to get a grip on a very nasty and complicated situation. They don't want people to die either by their actions or inaction, but deaths will occur, inevitably. Accusing them by bravely writing articles is not the way to go. "
"Owen Jones criticising the government, what a surprise. Another example of a rabid left winger politicising the current situation. Everything HMG does is wrong or inadequate, I know better.
I would have more respect for journalists of all political leanings if they offered suggestions and solutions, instead of their partisan shouts from the back of the mob."
