Bit pointless now.
It’s not petty sniping, it’s my personal opinion and I’ve made it pretty clear on here all along that we have been too reactive. Other countries closed borders a long time ago to foreign nationals whereas ours have been open all the time. With 211k positive cases and 31k deaths and the number of new cases being flat at just under 5k per day we are going to start to reduce lockdown measures?
Our lockdown has been weak compared to other countries with (now smaller death toll) and their new case and death curves have dramatically reduced. Ours haven’t. We should have gone for a very hard lockdown. Now we are faced with the impact on the economy vs the virus increasing and it looks like the economy is going to win.
Not catching the virus before a vaccine comes out (and is administered) is going to be very difficult over the next 18 months.
The app that’s being developed..... without being tested for anti body.... how do we know if we’ve already had the virus and yet have to self isolate if we have been near someone who has the virus. We could be told to self isolate on a frequent basis one the lockdown is lifted.
Just my onions, not petty sniping as I am a Tory but I don’t agree with how they have handled the virus.
