Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

We went into the so called lockdown too late.

Will we come out too early.

Latest feck up coming?

Re: Coronavirus update

It won't be "too early" for a lot of folks going stir crazy.

Re: Coronavirus update

No I'm not going to go trawling through the internet just before going to work, to try and prove a point to tell it like it is off the CCMB, who's opinion I care nothing about. You can pretend that herd immunity was not initially mooted 7 weeks ago to huge international criticism if you want, or don't, whatever. But to say it was never spoken about as a goal is absolute bullshit

So no evidence then. Funny that.

If it's "absolute bullshit" then prove it.

I've no doubt internal discussions would have been had - been stupid not to discuss all options - but you're making the claims, you prove them.

Re: Coronavirus update

I don't remember Boris saying it, but Patrick Vallance said it on several occasions.

Let me know if you want me to share links... I've got some spare time for the next hour, unlike Delmbox

Yeah, I'm aware of Vallance but that wasn't the claim made.

Yeah who cares if loads more people die, people are a little bit bored of being at home!

Yes they are, and they probably don't

Re: Coronavirus update

I can't believe people are still defending this government's reaction tbh, it was too little and too late and still is.

More excess deaths than anywhere in Europe, you can try and spin the figures however you want but the response has been appalling.

They probably do care, they just don't think that they will have anything to do with causing it.

I doubt any of the people who infected the tens of thousands who have died thought that they'd be a cause either.

So we should just release these selfish morons until anyone who's a bit ill already dies?

Probably closer to what I actually meant. They will assume its everyone else because they don't feel sick.

Surely that means we need these rules more than ever then?

He claimed that it was a massive f**king lie that the Govt. never said that "herd immunity" was the goal. He thought it was Johnson that announced it but it was actually Vallance in his role as Chief Scientific Advisor to the Govt. (who repeated it on TV and Radio several times).

The Govt. are trying to re-write history now and they shouldn't be allowed to - as I'm sure you'll agree.

Not up to me, and not everyone is as clever as you to make sure the decision that suits your thinknig is made. Not my concern at the moment.
But what I said is almost certainly true of a lot of people. And you trying to be so high and mighty will not change one single thing will it? :)

How is saying people should stay home so lots of people don't die being high and mighty?

The rest of your post doesn't even make sense, there need to be clear rules in place or the number of deaths will keep increasing, relaxing them just because people are a bit bored is madness.

It's not a decision that suits my thinking, I want to be out living as normal as much as anyone, but I'm not because I don't want to be responsible for more people dying.

It is another example of you knowing better than everyone else and be selective in your replies. Just to have a dig at me becuase oyu odn't like the things I say because they disagree with you higher intelectual reasoning, (That no one gives a shit about by the way)
I never said it was a good thing and never have, I said it was the probably feeling of a lot of people.
A lot of locked down people and not just bored they have mental stress and the longer it goes on the more it affects them, the other just want to return to their normal life and as lardy said will think its eveyone else and not them.
