It seems there is very little science behind this very wide easing of the lockdown. No proper tracking, testing system in place, random and pointless guidelines, no proper plans for those shielding other than get on with it in a month. Numbers of those getting ill are similar to when we lockdown.
It seems the government are moving towards washing their hands of responsibility.
Herd immunity is simply a phenomenon that leads to a pathogen no longer being a present threat in a population. That is the only means by which a population eradicates a communicable disease.
From this, left-wing and remain liars have tried to claim that the Government's approach was for herd immunity to be reached by letting the disease tear-through the population. To back this up they use a dishonestly-edited* clip of the PM on This Morning where he says take it on the chin would be one approach but then goes on to reject it. https://fullfact.org/health/boris-johnso...s-morning/
Herd immunity as soon as possible clearly is not the chosen approach when the country has been locked-up for the past 3 months.
I can't decide whether the people making these claims are thick, dishonest or both.
*Dishonestly edited clips were a speciality of Stronger In during the referendum campaign so I suppose there should be no surprise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23JqlqGvAzo
Spot on. Too many don’t understand the difference between herd immunity happening naturally, and a herd immunity plan from the start, which as you rightly say, was rejected. And I’m not a Tory voter.
