With Johnson back to 'work', it's becoming pretty clear there is a big push to get the economic pawns back to work asap regardless of the risk of death or serious illness. The Torygraph pushing misleading polls stating people want lockdown to end unconditionally, lots of air time given to cranks like Toby Young. Now the mass morgues are in place Plan A can be pursued once again.
I'm not sure if it is just being ignored that we're adding on 4k plus cases per day (and that's just diagnosed ones). I genuinely think we'll go to 100k+ excess deaths from this.
Yep. When you build a nation to be obsessed with money and wealth the calls for making money will begin way before it's sensible from a health perspective. I'm certain future generations will look back on us as idiots.
Even if the polls are misleading, that's all they are - polls. Just because the public supposedly want something doesn't make it the correct thing to do.
To be fair to Johnson he has at least said he's very wary of lifting lockdown too early, which seems to be a dissenting voice and probably won't go down well with the puppetmasters.
We're nowhere near ready to begin looking at reducing lockdown yet as although the figures do look like they're trending down slightly they're still very high and if we do I can see us suffering terribly from it.
Like others have said it does seem like some people aren't being quite as stringent in their movements/care as they were before. If we reduce lockdown without any testing/cure it could see so many people emerge all at once because they've been cooped up for over a month it could lead to a massive spread. I really fear what may happen over the next month or so and I feel a six-figure death sum is extremely likely.
