vikingTON Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 1 hour ago, The Stig said: I don't get this attitude, as much as a few people on here moan, we all know that the first things the government will open up are schools before anything else so the quicker we can get the first step done and hope it goes well then the quicker all the other restictions will be loosened and we can get back to normanl. 'Hope it goes well' from reopening a nationwide infection factory is not a route to the fastest possible route out of lockdown. They should not be opened while there is community transmission and then you can actually control the situation and release restrictions much more quickly on the rest of society. Schools policy is a recipe for months of pointless restrictions because a wean has got a glorified cold and pushes rates above the Clownshoe's ridiculous 50/100k benchmark. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not arguing with you that 50/100k is not achievable if schools open, but the problem is using that benchmark stated by Leitch, not the schools opening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly some folk with a bug just happen to have Covid ??? What a virus covid is btw. It's cleverly managed to mutate in such a way that it is now capable of presenting itself with absolutely any symptom imaginable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as this anyone who thinks furlough is free money are in for a shock as well, the Treasury also will want to recoup that all back and it will also have to come from somewhere. Energy bills to rise for about 15m households in Great Britain Furlough is a gift from the benevolent English taxpayer though. And of course no one has suffered more during the pandemic than are charitable foreign conglomerate energy providers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it 100% of that cohort full stop or is it 100% of that cohort who can have and who want the jag. Looks like it's all people in the group rather than those who can and want it. So I imagine that's the most vulnerable done, really good news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously this doesn't point to how many of them are in care homes. Surprised to see NI behind there too - they seem to lost momentum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
