What I couldn't understand tonight was Boris coming on the TV and saying that even though Blackburn and Bolton had the highest cases they can still move forward Monday. I'm amazed at that. Shouldn't we shutting the borders too. |  | | |

And to think....people voted, again, for this government.
Putting politics aside for a second....this has all the hallmarks of another clusterfeck. | |

Its largely considered the way to move on from people getting ill and constant lockdown.
Seems obvious really - or do you want to live like this for the next 5 years?? |  |

We need to learn to live with the virus now, it’s going to be around for years. The economy can’t be shut down forever. | | | |

Wether we like it or not life won’t be quite the same after this. The virus has zero interest in what we want or demand, we have to adapt. |  | | |

You can rest assured that they will act with decisiveness and promptness, about 3 weeks too late, |  |

The more you let it rip through communities (seeing as the vaccines don't completely stop infection) then the more chances it has to mutate to a state where the vaccines are no longer effective.
Everyone is sick of lockdowns. But just letting it go wild when we're so close isn't a great idea either. |  |

Economies can be revived from being shut down. People generally can't. | |

It will be interesting to see how many of the over 50s who felt they had the right to refuse the vaccine while under the safety of lock down now go ahead and get one.
It's clear they are going to let the next wave happen and live (or not in some cases) with the fallout. |  | | |

Same as the tens if thousands of businesses owned by real people that have lost homes and the knock on affect of mental health that it in turn brings, can't keep crippling the economy like this. | |

Nobody was saying that in 1942. |  |

What should worry you is not that people voted for this government but that they are likely to do the same for the next one. Unless of course a reasonable alternative appears from somewhere. |  |

Reading this, I suppose anyone considering the epidemiology would have made last night’s announcement ahead of the local elections.
As usual Tory party comes ahead of the country

This does seem to have been somewhat overlooked. The concern about this variant is it spreads easier, not that its resistant to vaccines so the fact that almost everyone at any risk of serious illness has some protection should bring some comfort. Vaccines have broken the direct link between cases and deaths. [Post edited 15 May 2021 11:35]

It is absolutely a resigning matter for Johnson if this variant causes a reversal of the roadmap. Or at least it would be in a country that functions in a remotely healthy way. | |

All we had to do was keep the borders closed. Our vaccination programme was one of the best in the world - just keep the country contained until the rest of the world caught up.
Some people understandably feel they cannot cope with another lockdown. This was completely preventable and yet it was a case of let’s open up despite the issues elsewhere. Stupid, moronic, selfish and unforgivable. | |

The major factor here was Johnson desperation to cobble together some deal with India.
England should have taken the early action that Scotland did.
Ban visitors from India, and require returning UK citizens to quarantine, with daily checks.
But then Sturgeion was not interested in her 'image' but interested in the well-being of her country - unlike the ratbag in number 11 | | | |

You said you live in Australia. The reason they got on top of this so efficiently is because they took drastic actions regarding border control et al.
The UK didn't.
Please don't make assumption on my part. I have you on ignore because I think you're an idiot and only saw this whilst logged off.
I see your pathetic jibes at other posters here and there and don't know why you bother tbh. [Post edited 15 May 2021 13:06]

"Data not dates*", he said.
And yet has tied himself to dates ever since. So yes, we should all know how this will go. A political decision will be made largely ignoring the science then, 2-3 weeks later, that decision will be reversed citing the scientific data.
* I don't mind dates but only if they are in a sticky toffee pudding. |  |

The problem is that many people with health issues have very little protection at all from the vaccs even after 2 jabs (the only study I've been able to find so far estimated up to 10 x less protection than normal). Other people in normal health have refused the jabs, and very large numbers of younger people (and kids of course) haven't had any jabs at all. |  |
