When we had motorways first there was no speed limit and no crash barriers in the middle these were soon brought in to stop folk being killed but we still use motorways and some folk die, they didn't say motorways are dangerous so we are going to close them.Well listening to the radio news this morning we can see some politics getting in the way.
Angela Rayner just now said Labour ambition is zero deaths. When challenged if that would mean Labour woud go for a full lockdown the reply was whatever it takes. So in the next few days we can see the Labour Party focussing on the following 'The Tories do not care about your Granny'. And lo we shall see a full lockdown or near enough. And lo 4 the redundancies will really start and lo the Labour Party will then go on about jobs.. Rayner said Labout would pay more furlough and more for self isolators.
Yep, I can see the media politics ramping up soon.
sensible precautions yes, shutting down life no
I think GUTH is right in that more and more people will take no notice, lots of them never did.
take this whole masks thing if you actually look around at least half the people don't use them properly if at all and IMO if they are not use properly they create more problems than they solve because of the constant handling of them, so in that case half the people are making things worse so they just as well forget the whole idea.
But you are right this seems to be getting more of a political football
