You’d have to go to reddit to find those women.

Good read. The optimism for a vaccine always seemed to be clutching at straws.

In a parallel universe, upon reading this comment, loads of the Brexit voters facepalm as they realise why so many twitter comments they agreed with contained upside down exclamation marks.

No, this still isn’t what happened either.

No, just no. Not remotely what happened and herd immunity isn’t a viable strategy. It’s something you achieve eventually after years and/or a vaccine.

Johnson seems to have lost control of local government, lost control of the virus and thrown in the towel on Brexit negotiations (yeah I know it’s probably an awful bluff he has already played 17 times) in one week. Absolute shit show. It would be funny if he wasn’t backed by maniacs who will...

Allegations from Lancashire MPs that they were pressured into T3 with threats of transport lockdowns and withdrawn financial support.

Will be interesting watching the government react and play politics with the situation as they seem unable to decide if they want devolution or centralism depending on the circumstances.

I think we can all agree it isn’t working but I also don’t think looking at who it affects holds an answers to current questions. The only thing to do is to cut transmission rates. Looking at why Sweden is faring relatively well with its loser restrictions is probably down to population and...

BMI is poor at individual level, yes, but perfectly fine across populations as a rough metric.

Another pertinent issue. Too many are at risk in this country to make the economy viable even if you did want to attempt it.

But what does that mean in reality? I’m in my 30’s and would happily continue to work while more vulnerable isolate but it’s not practical beyond the short term. You can’t physically remove the vulnerable and elderly from the society and the economy for any length or time and if you did they...

I don’t see that happening. Majority of the public support stricter measures, it isn’t just old people. What alternative approach are you suggesting? Shielding the elderly?

We’re literally days into the new tiers and it’s fallen apart already

It’s not being dismissed? It’s been well publicised since it started that older people and those with certain health conditions are more at risk. Literally everyone knows this. What point are you trying to make?

If the virus spread further so that you were statistically more likely to die from it than cancer would you then support restrictions? You do realise part of the management of the situation is to stop it getting worse, hospitals overwhelmed etc it’s not just based on what the odds of Nick from...

Really don’t get this. Feels like the government are losing control with regions cutting their own deals.

It’s not a fact but it is possible. Regardless, it’s irrelevant. There seems to be this idea going round that you accept the governments handling of it as great or you would rather Corbyn was in charge. It’s a false choice. It’s not an argument of who could have done better. It’s a discussion...

You worked throughout but were on 80% wages?

Remember when we were going to have a fraction of the cases Italy had?
