Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

[Feedback]

The Stereophonics gig should have been cancelled. Many said it at the time. It was a massive error that probably cost lives.

However it was months ago. The more recent resurgence in the spread of the virus is nothing to do with it.

what do you think the current resurgence is to do with? the new strain being more virulent perhaps? the apparent apathy of people to stay at home? all are factors that have contributed.

if you recall the first lockdown, when you ventured outside it was like a ghost town, then people started venturing out. compare that to lockdown 2 and 3, its almost as if nothing has happened. The streets aren't as busy as normal, but they are busy.

I'd list:

No decent track and trace for months
Frequent changing of rules
Lack of consistent enforcement of rules
No testing at airports, which may have led to the new strain coming in (just because it was detected in the UK doesn't mean it developed here)

If that had all been done properly, the numbers would be better.

why couldn't WG develop their own?

Frequent changing of rules

agreed. This has probably been the biggest **** up of them all

Lack of consistent enforcement of rules

this is directly related to the point above, but the public also has to take its fair share of the blame here for flouting the rules.

No testing at airports, which may have led to the new strain coming in (just because it was detected in the UK doesn't mean it developed here)

agreed, but again the WG could have ensured testing at Cardiff.

If that had all been done properly, the numbers would be better.

and if everyone had stayed at home, the numbers would have been smaller again.

The fact is some of the British people just di not understand what was going on and treated lockdown as something that only impacted other people
