During the first lockdown in the Spring, there was a consensus of opinion on the radio broadcasts that I listened to, that the lockdown was only partial, and did nothing to instill the seriousness of the pandemic in some of the population, who just will not obey a few very simple rules about mask wearing, hygiene and keeping their distance.

There is no sense in a second lockdown- the strange thing isn't that Schools and universities stay open, but that everything else closes, which will turn the current economic disaster into a catastrophe; many business will not open again.  As for the damage in terms of massive unemployment, mental health consequences, etc, etc.....  Deaths within 28 days of positive test [many of which are not even covid deaths] in the UK [population 67,886,011] today?  326  https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/?_ga=2.235857800.844008833.1604141264-201961966.1585217610  [when cancer daily deaths are generally 450/day].  Humanity has completely lost the plot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
