I agree with him in regard to the need for a circuit break, but it goes against the calls from the northern city mayors (all Labour) who are pretty united in wanting to avoid a further strict lockdown. [Post edited 13 Oct 2020 18:06]

I suspect the city mayors and the leader of the Labour party may have goals that aren't all that aligned though. | |

He'll bankrupt the country, etc.... (meaning £12bn won't go to a company who's CEO is the brother of a long standing Tory MP, to completely feck up the service delivery - Serco/Soames for anyone who doesn't know what I'm talkng about). | |

Short of an effective vaccine this isn't going away any time soon. The only available plan is to manage it so as few people die between now and when/if a vaccine is available, in a manner that doesn't entirely destroy the economy. Johnson isn't even managing to do that effectively. He's doing the opposite in fact, like a poundshop Trump. Without a vaccine, and with the Conservatives in charge... well, we are in trouble for the foreseeable future. Quite honestly, I don't think anyone knows what to do. Any plan that is put in place is immediately undermined by so many people who won't act responsibly, and is then rendered even more useless by government won't follow the rules themselves.

I think you're probably right, for a variety of reasons. But that doesn't mean that we couldn't be doing better than we are now (I know I'm not living in the UK currently, but I think my point stands for both the UK and the US). | |

Ha I can't quite imagine a response worse than the one provided by the US government. A Covid riddled blanket delivered to every home perhaps? [Post edited 13 Oct 2020 21:35]

Well, for starters, it likely slows or even stops growth and spread and likely avoid the need for a longer, far more damaging lockdown and reduces the risk of overwhelming hospitals at the busiest time of the year for the health service. [Post edited 13 Oct 2020 22:47]

Anyone classed as vulnerable or with underlying health issues should shield themselves and receive full support, everyone else carry on as we have been, follow social distancing ban mass gatherings etc, and make use of the nightingale hospitals.. so many company’s small and big have put a lot of effort in to making the work place COVID safe at great cost, I cant see how locking down is the answer. The long term affect of perfectly healthy people’s mental Health will probably out weigh this in the long run. Let alone the economic damage and damage to the next generation in lost education and repaying the massive debts accumulating in the years to come.. | | | |
