Dear ConstituentBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: NOVEMBER 3, 2020I am seeking changes to the way the government responds to the pandemic. I wish them to do all a government can to save lives, and to help the vulnerable find the protection they need and want from the disease. I also wish to see the government avoid measures which do substantial damage to jobs and livelihoods.I am urging the government to work closely with medics and pharmaceutical researchers to identify more treatments to cut the death rates. There are various steroids, anti virals, clot busters and antibody treatments that have now been found to help or may emerge from trials as useful additions to treatment. Health professionals have also now discovered using non invasive ways of administering extra oxygen are often best. There are also issues about whether Vitamin D and zinc supplements can help. I have urged more emphasis on seeking new ways of treating and preventing.I have been very critical of the data and forecasts used by government advisers to urge Ministers into adopting lock downs. The basis of defining a death has been changed several times during the pandemic and there are issues about whether CV 19 deaths have been overstated whilst understating other lung infections and serious co morbidities in the mainly elderly people dying. The latest forecasts for cases and deaths take the form of very wide ranges where the upper figure is three times the lower figure, making them meaningless as planning forecasts. There is an absence of reliable published data on hospital bed occupancy which seems to be the main worry of NHS management and the scientific advisers. We must not close the economy down to save the NHS if it can now cope thanks to building the Nightingales, greatly expanding intensive care facilities and recruiting many more staff.I am pressing for substantial changes to lock down plans. I see no need to close outdoor sports facilities. I think a range of specialist retailers should stay open with suitable measures to cut risks of infection spreading.Pubs and restaurants should be allowed to sell drink as well as food for take away. Government should work with business and offer help to improve air extraction so more can function safely indoors.I do support the schools staying open as this is important to the development and future prospects of children and Teenagers.This disease is usually very mild in young people. I have urged the resumption of non CV 19 work by the NHS, as many more people die of causes other than CV19 every day.If you are suffering particular problems with your job or business from the proposed lock down please let me know as I am pressing for change from Ministers. Without serious change to this policy I am unable to support it in a vote.Yours sincerelyJohn Redwood

Socialist, capitalist and the rest are just names or just labels.. take the labels away and the majority of the people are the winners Not the few.

[freddie ferret] 03/11/2020 01:05

k38.

Bernie was a socialist, bit wobbly.

[k38] 03/11/2020 00:50

What make me laugh is CNN against Trump. Is biden or CNN who run for president of the USA.... lolThe Americans must be very naive people if they believe the fake CNN or allow to brainwash them.

[k38] 03/11/2020 00:41

Well, yes but Bernie had a lot more to offer to the ordinary Americans. At least he had a programme no empty promises. This election is all about to throw out the opposition.. nothing for the people... not even fake promises Lol.....empty heads.

[freddie ferret] 03/11/2020 00:30

That may be true, but he is elderly too.

[k38] 03/11/2020 00:20

If the Democrats lose this election is because they "dispose" their best candidate Bernie Sanders because he was "independent" from the rest democratic mafia unable to control him.If Bernie was running today for the presidency Trump had no chance.

Sorry freddie - she lost because she was Hilary. She always thought she was - but she wasnt.
No woman who allows her husband to play with his cxxk under the table with Lewinsky - and then deny any such involvement in the matter of sxx - can only be a career political liar.
GL Donald - not my first pick but the olny pick.

[k38] 03/11/2020 00:05

Wars means refugees. At the moment 100 mill people are on the move..Need to say more ?

[minerve 2] 02/11/2020 23:42

Time to send that orange gibbon back to the zoo.

[cheshire pete] 02/11/2020 23:41

Bookies odds on Trump shortening. Biden drifting, ref. Oddschecker.

[k38] 02/11/2020 23:27

Sure M2...you are the first. Lol.....

[minerve 2] 02/11/2020 23:26

I can think of many more who would take priority for needing to be locked-up than Hilary. A few on this thread for a start, straitjackets included. :)

Nurse!

[cheshire pete] 02/11/2020 23:14

Hilary unpopular, including with women. Remember the calls at rallies...'lock her up'.

[minerve 2] 02/11/2020 23:06

Oh yes, Hilary has become a target because she "epitomises the corrupt political establishment" because we all know Boris, Trump, Nigel et al are all squeeky clean.

LOL!

Cheshire - time to book yourself a room in a care home. You've lost it old boy. That is if you EVER had it in the first place (Guffaw guffaw).

Nigel Farage to relaunch Brexit Party as an anti-lockdown party and will rebrand it 'Reform UK' to take on government's 'woeful' Covid response, 'bloated quangoes' and House of Lords

Nigel Farage's Brexit Party has formally applied to change name to Reform UK
Party will be led by Farage and favours lockdown of only elderly and vulnerable

Mr Farage and Richard Tice, the Brexit Party chairman, wrote a joint article
Said the party will tackle 'powerful vested interests' including 'law and order'
But most pertinent issue is 'the Government's woeful response to coronavirus'

[k38] 02/11/2020 22:43

Unless the Americans are fool they must give Trump another 4 years. He is the best choice they have for now.

[freddie ferret] 02/11/2020 22:43

You are talking like Tammany Hall still exists.

[k38] 02/11/2020 22:40

Look at the poor old fool, he has nothing to say, nothing to offer... you really think he will govern America...???Lol.......

[k38] 02/11/2020 22:36

My views.
She was the boss not Bill in the white house
She doesn't need to run again but winning her election would have been the cherry on the cake, a trophy for her.
Even so, she was still the real power or the backseat driver in her husband turn in office.
She (Clinton's) Pelosi and the rest of the mafia in control of the democratic party.
Biden is just another (mask) face of her.
If he wins expect trouble around the world next day
She, they are of these people whom love wars.


She will never forgive Trump for her downfall.

Lol....

[freddie ferret] 02/11/2020 22:29

Ahhh, so she is just a figurehead to hate?

[cheshire pete] 02/11/2020 22:26

Because she epitomises the corrupt political establishment that Trump has courageously stood up to.
