that was fucking awful a clown who doesn't know what is going on, a chancellor who is fucking economically illiterate and CMO who clearly doesn't agree with them

It’s getting harder to believe they are actually this shit. Is it intentional? I don’t get it.

The adverse affects of Brexit will be blamed on covid. A ready made scapegoat has fallen into their laps and even if some of it reflects badly on them better to look like you've mishandled an unforeseen pandemic than to have a light shone on the pitfalls of your pet project.

Following the science.

And, as minutes from the government's scientific advisory group, Sage, show, recommendations made to ministers on 21 September included an immediate circuit breaker - or short lockdown - which was seen as the most effective way to suppress the virus.

They also reveal that the scientific advisers believe NHS Test and Trace is having just a "marginal impact" on the epidemic and this "will likely decline further" unless the system grows to keep pace with new cases.

followed the science first time and the country collapsed. would you want a full lockdown?

Yup. Was following a herd immunity approach which, as more evidence emerges, looks a dangerous path to tread.

Bring on the anti virals!
Last 6 weeks of covid deaths, compared to deaths in March/April. please tell me why we should have another lockdown?

The ‘scientists’ wanted to lock it down sooner. They’d also probably argue for schools to be closed but the twat will never do it
I think he'll be forced to eventually... no doubt too late.

Then he'll complain about the virus killing the economy, when swifter action would have been less devastating

  • banning all contact inside homes with members of other households
  • closing all bars, restaurants, cafes, indoor gyms and hairdressers
  • requiring all university and college teaching to take place online
Of all the measures proposed by the advisory group, just one - advising those who can work from home to do so - was implemented by the government at the time.

In the documents, Sage warned that "not acting now to reduce cases will result in a very large epidemic with catastrophic consequences".

I believe that RBC posted on Facebook asking people not to mix with other households in the home last week. Nothing from the government though.
