New Shutdown?

[DealeyPlaza1963]

Don't forget, we're all in this together...…..well, all except Dominic Cummings......

Ain't the truth, that too many people think they have a legitimate excuse not to comply, or be very lax with compliance at the very least?
And that is why we find we are where we are today.
Freedom comes with responsibilities.
Lead by example. Not with excuses.

Not really. Just because Cummings has done wrong ( did he though ) doesn't give the rest of us the green light to be aerosols.
Getting a bit tired of let's lock the old codgers up, so we can party like it's 1999 too.
It might give folks a warm fuzzy feeling leaving groceries at old folks front doors, but if covid spreads more widely amongst the population there's a good chance whoever packed the groceries might have corvid. And also whoever delivered it. OK, wash your hands after packing stuff away, but will you remember after getting something out the fridge 2 days later? Wash hands after sorting through the post ? getting the milk in ? And so on. One slip up, and all that self isolating has been for nowt. Letting the virus run rampant through the population seems like a bad idea to me. What about NHS staff ? A few died during the first wave IIRC ?

And bus drivers for example were badly hit

Kahn made them work with no protection given.
Not even perspex screens.
Evil little man. Using the pandemic to his own advantage and ripping London to bits.

How are they policing that? I seem to remember there's a lot of ways to get to Wales from England. Road blocks everywhere?

So instead of controlling and containing people’s movements we are going back to national lock down. The southwest has had rising levels in all its university towns and the roads to and from south west were queuing over the half term holiday. So everyone has been in a magimix , cross contaminated and returned home to incubate. Great.

Meanwhile those of us that have adhered to sensible isolation and distance control will have our ‘Rights’ removed. This lockdown will last till Christmas, be lifted and reinstated again in the new year.

I think it is almost like a nuclear attack, do you you want to be around when the dust settles. Businesses are haemorrhaging money with BA loosing a £1m an hour, and we are trying to protect the NHS. Government knew the second (or more) rise was coming and have had time to prepare the NHS. That preparation would be cheaper than the money that is being paid now to allying businesses. Some of which will fail anyway.

It seems that the lobbyists got there way by not having more restrictions earlier. If greater movement control had been imposed after first lockdown, and continued, we would be not be in lockdown now.

You weren't by any chance the male double in sex scenes to save Tom Cruise the embarrassment of revealing a small penis? Tough work I gather. But someone has to do it.
