So with that being said, enjoy your inevitable lockdown. I suppose the argument would be that it's better to take action just now no matter what the current figures are, than to wait and then its too late 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 The new strain is 70% more transmittable than classic Covid. Herd immunity is back on the table!If this is even remotely true we need to have the UK borders closed, now. It cannot be allowed to spread any further. London and the south east needs to be fenced off as well. All trains cancelled and motorways closed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is entirely impractical though, just as it was in March - you're preventing key workers from travelling to work and also the movement of important goods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll get approved when it's been fully studied and is ready to be approved. People look for conspiracy theories in everything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to lock it off, although it should be easy to police people travelling in and out of these areas for the next couple of weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something needs to give though - if it truly is that bad, we can’t just throw our hands up in the air and hope for the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How they would even know that if the process is supposed to be independent and at arms length from government is the question that will never get asked in mainstream media terms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's 90% certain that this is just cover for the fact that in London shopping and hospitality has been business as usual (other than masks which have no impact). Now the vast majority of spending has been done it's time to shut down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Faster transmission in hospitals and care homes despite distancing measures? It's surely more likely to be down to people being more susceptible to viruses the further we get into winter? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
