The thing about this virus as we know it took quite a long time before any official acknowledgement from China about covid. Given there weren't any travel restrictions in or out of the country. Surely its quite feasible that this was starting to spread around the world. Where doctors were mistaking it for flu symptoms.

https://news.sky.com/story/france-threatens-to-cut-off-uks-energy-again-in-new-fishing-row-12426857 France threatens to cut off energy to the UK over fishing rights. It included a threat that it could cut off electricity to the British Crown Dependency, which receives 95% of its electricity from France through three undersea cables. I say Boris old chap you seem to be getting the country in a bit of a pickle

This is an article from Feb 2021 that suggests the virus was in China & Europe in 2019 months before it was announced in Wuhan https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-circulated-europe-china-before-wuhan-outbreak-2020-12?r=US&IR=T

Yeah we're all convinced we had it in December 2019 in Troops Towers we all had flu like symptoms & i had an awful cough i couldnt shift i must have drunk gallons of nasty cough medicine. Chances are it was in the country way before Boris decided to tell everyone

Apparently the record industry are reporting a shortage of vinyl to make records. I wouldn't be surprised if Boris said something like if you've got any old records in your collection you hardly listen to. Could you melt them down & send them in so we can make new ones 😆

COVID was spreading in Wuhan as early as summer 2019 – reports Coronavirus infections were apparent in China much earlier than was initially thought, according to a report seen by the Telegraph. Analysts from cyber security consultancy Internet 2.0 found "notable, significant and abnormal" purchases of PCR lab equipment in the second half of 2019. Spending in the Hubei Province on PCR equipment nearly doubled to £7.8 million in 2019 from £4 million in 2018 and £3.3 million in 2017, according to the report. These products are critical in tracking COVID infections. China's uplift in spending began as early as May 2019 – seven months before it alerted the World Health Organisation about the virus. In their report, experts said: "We have come to the conclusion that, based on the data analysed, it suggests the virus was highly likely to be spreading virulently in Wuhan, China, as early as the summer of 2019 and definitely by the autumn. "We assess with high confidence that the pandemic began much earlier than China informed the WHO about COVID-19."

This from The Mail Boris denying the supply chain is in chaos Asked directly if he thought the situation was a 'crisis', he replied: 'No.' But he admitted that Christmas might only be better from a 'low base' amid fears of ongoing shortages - after it was effectively cancelled during the pandemic last year. And he conceded that the government's efforts to bring in more lorry drivers from abroad are having limited success, with just 127 having applied for emergency visas.

Here you go Renton mate

Boris admits only 127 drivers have applied for emergency visa's to help him get out of the shit storm. Oh dear looks like Xmas could go "tits up " Boris me old chum
