All hail the new voice of sanity.

Nigel Farage is pondering forming a new anti lockdown party.

Has one person ever done so much destruction to the general good of the country?

I'm all for it as long as farage goes to every meeting.

Can't fault your fair mindedness.

 

Sort of good news from.Scotland.

Of the increasing numbers of positive tests ,43 percent are teenagers who are in the least likely to be seriously sickened by the virus.

Problem is they are often asymptotic so unwittingly spread it to others some of whom are more vulnerable. I was saddened to see the televised scenes of young people socialising with all and sundry on West Street pre curfew. Post curfew a friend went for a meal on West Street and was thankful she had pre booked a taxi for 10 pm as, in her words, the area was swarming with people with supermarkets and off-licences struggling to cope with the numbers desperate to buy alcohol

Just though I would mention that my dad was released from Hallamshire hospital on Wednesday after battling Covid 19 and pneumonia.

He spent 27 days in hospital and 6 of those were in the ICU unit. He is home now but still gets a little breathless but we have been told he will take time to recover.

The hospital staff were amazing and we as a family are grateful to them for saving my dad who is 70 yrs old and also has diabetes.
I would urge people to please stay safe and wear a mask and sanitise your hands and stay safe...

So glad to hear your Dad is out of hospital and recovering.

I think we need to hear things like that amid all the fear and gloom.

I hope he's feeling better and will soon be fully well.

My bold. 

 

Once again, the Govt is trying to tread the high-wire while juggling soot of keeping some semblance of an economy going, trying to bring people back into towns & cities & giving a little bit of normality after a long period of lockdown by just asking them to behave like ADULTS & follow a few simple rules for a few months in order to protect NHS resources, limit the spread of the infection & try & protect the vulnerable from ending up in our hospitals, possibly resulting in many more  deaths of loved ones & those on the front line services.  

 

Yet I see on the news yesterday, videos of people having impromptu street parties in the middle of of Soho & Liverpool city centre after the pubs shut, goading police officers with chants of "Who are you?'; police officers who are only there to protect them & advise by the looks of things, (rather than handing out fines), that their actions could result in individuals in said crowds run the risk of catching COVID-19 & spreading it further. 

 

Then you here the comments of some students currently being asked to self-quarantine in Glasgow & Manchester.

 

They tell that on arrival at the halls of residence, COVID-19 procedures were put in place to socially distance the students but they have been totally ignored from the off, resulting in the spread of infection & even now, while they are supposed to be basically confined to their rooms, they are again ignoring the request to abide the rules & spreading the virus further amongst themselves. 

 

One can only suggest that it would take an individual from amongst the students to take a turn for the worst to realise that they aren't all immune from the virus, to bring them to their senses.  The Govt & the Universites are trying, asking 18+ year olds to act like responsible adults yet they choose to act like giddy pre-teens. 

 

I wonder how many of those students & those out on the streets not abiding by Govt requests to self-distance, who are running the risk of catching COVID-19 & passing the virus on, endangering their families & front line workers, including the doctors & nurses, were a few months ago, showing off on social media, banging their pots & pans & generally showing off in appreciation of the NHS?

 

All seems to be hollow gesturing now, considering that there's a chance that by their actions, there a good chance of them piling pressure back on the NHS.

Does she ever answer a question properly?

Well said Baron. That sums it up nicely.

Now we have MP's flexing their muscles and wanting debates about all the measures the government takes.

That is going to be a return to the  chaotic and standstill politics that we had over the Brexit policies.

The Government may have made mistakes but are genuinely trying  to make the best of a bad situation and regain control of the virus.

All that is required is for us ALL, including young people, to take the neccessary precautions, which isn't really that hard, considering how the public coped with calamity in the past.

Will common sense ever return in this mad modern world?

No, not ever whilst so called 'adults ' continue to act like silly school children.

Just seen in the Times that the bars in Parliament are not been forced to close at 10pm.They have classed them as a “ works canteen “.

First Cummings drives round the country to check is eyes are working properly, now this ..... they just don’t get it do they.
