The big event today is Macron's 2 hours-long taped interview that will be in prime-time on the biggest TV channel. Other candidates are furious and denounce what they see as unfairly occupying tv space (obviously they will not get the same opportunity). Maronists counter that the president is not yet a candidate and will just discuss his accomplishments as president without campaigning... The discussions regarding a potential left-wing primary are getting nowhere. Thus some are pushing for other candidates to come in the race such as Christiane Taubira (former Justice Minister under Hollande, famous for giving her name to the gay-marriage law and treated as an icon by the left-wing press as a woman from french Guyana). Opinion Way included her in theit poll and she got 2%.
Either South Africa is so different that what happens there can't read across to here, or we may be OK.
Every week we can say this is a win.
I think we can definitely say 'milder' now, and if excess deaths aren't just being laggy and all this still holds true by Christmas, I think we'll start being able to downward revise the UK worst case very significantly and Jan 5th will be off.
As long as we all agree to say we've forgotten about quizgate.
I'm more than happy to believe that Boris has never worn a party hat in his life.

Are you alluding to Madness's "Baggy Trousers"?
That was House of Fun, which the Tory Party never got...

Cases, er, not.
Whilst it is easy for me to say HOLD THE LINE, it can't be for anyone in government what with a 4-6 day lag of infection to test.
