You were saying that lockdowns don't work. Tbf I'm now interested to hear what it is exactly that slowed and reversed the growth of the virus if it wasn't the lockdown measures?
What is evidence for saying that lockdowns don't work then?
Exactly. I actually edited my post from when i first posted - I initially said that the natural selection would at least have some poetic justice if they weren't likely infecting everyone else.
Really?!? It was pretty good around here when I had to drop some things off a couple of weeks ago. I know they shouldn't have to, but surely that needs enforcing?
Hmmm - glad to go where I did for my blood test, then!
Been to Walsgrave a few times recently and its a joke. The main entrance in particular is a nightmare. They've put a one way system in place that everyone ignores and loads of people just stood around having a chat or not going anywhere that you've got to get past.

Yep, I actually went into the office today for the first time in months. It was grim. I get it if you're on a quiet carriage with no one in but we're talking about rush hour.
I encountered this yesterday. Amazed that no one did anything about it. Also virtually no one wearing masks on London transport.
I was in for nearly four hours in because of a fracture. Probably about a half of people wearing masks.
Agree with this. I felt it was about 10% wearing masks.
Huge mess really. 1400 deaths a week now ok for the uk it appears or 73000 over a year. Just a bad flu year times about 5.
London case rates are amongst the lowest in the country mind you
Well Pete I'm afraid the majority can't be locked down to generally protect those that don't take the vaccine.
Literally no one is enforcing it though. Its about as much use as a polite notice in a shop window.
The problem when you move the onus from government onto companies and organisations, innit. You get some deciding it's not a legal requirement, so fuck 'em (as an aside, it's not a legal requirement to give your kid a Christmas present, or be polite to your wife, but most people do do things that aren't a legal requirement for the sake of others) and the general messaging it gives out is it's all over.
I'm sure the British Transport Police could stick the odd officer at station doors just to remind people. Not fines and shit, I don't really want to see that, but a presence would help in itself. They generally stand around doing sod all anyway so why not.
A strong mesage from the top helps tbf, let alone anything else. The current national guidance is still to wear masks when you're in an enclosed space with lots of people - not that you'd know unless you went looking for it, mind!
