Felt inevitable for a little while now. It'll help but once again later than it should've been and people will die because of it.
Don't understand keeping the schools etc open when the increase in cases correlates very well with the return to school (I know this isn't causation and many other factors are likely to be involved).
If Peston is correct it says outbound int travel is banned, domestic travel discouraged. What about inbound? Surely this is just as important? At the very least make sure everyone is forced into quarantine and traceable.

Think this was posted earlier in the thread but it indicates the current procedure for quarantining people coming into the country isn't working. I say procedure but from what I can make out you arrive at the airport and are then free to jump on the tube, coach etc with zero quarantine enforcement.
Coronavirus strain from Spain accounts for most UK cases – study
Experts say UK’s travel policy in summer was flawed as ‘the virus moves when people move’

Exactly.
it's like they're leaving out probably the biggest transmitters of the disease. Why?
Sorry to go all brexit again but wasn't one of the big things control of our borders? Well, we need that border control now to literally stop people dying.

Too late for a lot of people who have already lost jobs. Sunak is a c**t.

It kind of does, the infections surged first in university and school age people, then it moved to older people. Simple reason is being in a massive bubble seems to mean you can do whatever with each other all day.

Lots of Conservative party and Tory MP’s tweets being resurrected from the last few weeks. They’ve not aged well.

I can mix with 1200 different kids and adults inside for 7 hours a day, but I can’t go to my Dads house.
Can't you make a bubble?

No as I’ve already got a bubble with the wife’s Mum and husband as they live round the corner and have no one else. They are both also over 75 so fall into the vulnerable category so we get stuff for them etc.

I also see shopping delivery slots are like gold dust but of course teachers don't get priority

Yup and as I don't drive getting a week's shopping will be a load of fun

I’m sure the 3 guys on here that think it’s an over exaggeration will happily pop and get your weekly shop for you.

Fancy, listening to experts.
Why is the biggest failure as Tory leader... ever, even given a voice? Why does he hold influence with Johnson?

It's a savage indictment of government policy that many areas in the country are moving from tier one... to full lockdown beyond tier three. Surely if the original policy was right, we should *all* have been in tier three by now, and needing to move *beyond* it?
It makes little sense, otherwise!

Anyone could have seen it coming Wingy, they decided to plough on and hope for the best. Now they want a month of closing everything good while keeping the crap and keeping open a big driver of infection.

Yep....when sage suggested a circuit breaker for 21/09 and you even had northern labour leaders calling for strict local lockdowns on 29/09........and here we are...nearly 6 weeks on. Surely this is bordering on criminal negligence?
As a side note, liverpool's infection rate has dropped from nearly 700 per 100k to around 400 per 100k in the couple weeks since tier 3 restrictions....still way too high but again more proof that hospitality has had a major impact on transmission rates....far more so than the lobbyists would have you believe

Starmer says it’s vital schools do not close again regardless

And as those self same scientific experts have said it'll take longer to come down, if schools and universities remain open, that suggests more damage to the economy as a result.

Yup. Has made me decide I’m seeing family on Christmas Day regardless of what they say.

Starmer knows to call for it would give Johnson a stick to beat him with where as now he's got him totally bang to rights over locking down too late.
I think he's played this right so credit where it's due.

Politically I understand, but it shouldn’t just be the teachers’ union arguing for school closure.

Not according to Gove. He’s doing the media rounds this morning with the ‘nobody could have predicted this’ mantra.

Of course he is. This government hasn’t conceded a single mistake all year so why start now?

We know that schools are the driver but they don’t trust us to teach remotely after having done it for a term. My subject has been ruined anyway, being on site makes no difference.
