Following the science would have been to shut down travel from India as soon as their variant began to run wild

Yes like I said any government would be going by advice they receive.

From Monday all restrictions here will be lifted apart from mask wearing and social distancing.

So why didn’t this one?

Yeah but would you rather live in Italy?

No advice?

I’m sure ‘Dave’ Starmer would have done it differently.

Glad we agree!

So in hindsight what would ‘Dave’ have done differently?

What is the Dave thing about?

Not put the person responsible for the biggest date breach in UK history in charge of track and trace to the tune of 37 billion of taxpayer's money.
Not allowed the Health Secretary to award the landlord of his local a whopping PPE contract.
Not neatly got himself killed shaking hands with covid patients after scientists told him not to.
There's plenty more.

Not decided a trade deal was more important than stopping a new VOC from being able to to seed itself in the UK

Two things happen upon vaccination

First being that masses of antibodies are produced against the antigens the body is exposed to. These on their own are usually enough to suppress an infection, but will not be in the bloodstream forever.

Second is the production of memory cells by the immune system, which stay around for much longer (and are how the childhood jabs you receive e.g. MMR will work). When you get infected some distance down the line these cells go slightly bonkers in producing antibodies in large quantities and at a high rate. As the vaccine programme has only been in effect for 6 months this effect is harder to measure and gather usable data on.

I'll have a look at the longitudinal studies in a bit

Is antibody response dependent on vaccine or the body?

What is the Dave thing about?

It’s like an even worse version of Keith.

No one who support Alexander de Pfiffle Johnson or whatever his name is wants to start pulling at that thread let’s be honest.

Talking purely about the Indian variant situation he wouldn't have allowed thousands and thousands of people in for weeks all just to appease Modi.

If lockdown is extended beyond 21st June that's purely on Johnson. Will you criticise him for that if it happens?

Oh OK, just a bit of witless derision. Was hoping there might be some clever punchline.

Yes totally but I don’t think it will tbh.
The government need to stick to this now and imo if they do and over the summer things improve again it’ll be another 4/5 years of Boris.
Dave Starmer will need to be jumping through hoops to get anywhere near number 10.

Genuinely think there is as much chance of city winning the champions league in the next 5 years as there is Johnson being in charge in 5 years time. Not saying the Tories won't be.

Really could go in a stellar direction or bomb to a catastrophic nadir.

My family are Binley kids ex miners and I’d love nothing more than a decent Labour government but I feel they’re just so far out of touch with the working class in lots of areas atm That it’ll be years before we see the likes of Wilson again.

While I am flattered by you double quoting me what has Starmer got to do with this government’s failings?

Well of course the tories have always been the friends of the working man, at least they would be if he could afford £500,000 to buy a seat in the lords.

No the Mail and all the other racists will and Indians

And you believe this Tory Government is in touch with the working class because....

So what will Rodders do differently if the tories are the devil according to you?

Not cut the future of several million kids off at the knees and cost the country a couple of trillion quid in lost productivity for a start.

Right lads shut the fuck up you're going off on a boring political tangent again.

You do realise I haven't voted Labour since he was leader?

2 or 3 week extension because Boris didn't want to offend Modi

Speed up second doses, delay for a few weeks.

Just for some information. Obviously the headlines lack specific details and how it will be no doubt skewed from region to region.

June 21 restrictions: Plans to redraw roadmap include social distancing, home working and masks (inews.co.uk)

Why don't you answer my question? I really want to understand what it is about this Government that appeals to the working class
