Can’t lift lockdown just in case! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just about accept that the tone might have disappointed some today, but the content was never going to be much different and neither should it have been.

Empty It Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 The irony of HS2 being built when everyone is about to start working from home will not be lost on many. Irony or complete insanity? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10menwent2mow Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Irony or complete insanity?Well yeah, insanity. I always thought the same about upgrades to the Edinburgh-Glasgow line that were going to improve journey times by 6 minutes or whatever it was. There's a train every 15 minutes, get the earlier one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devi’s quite happy to go on about how important her message is and how we all just need to smile or whatever pish, but as soon as its even remotely questioned its ‘ooh but im just an advisor’.

Let's be honest, testing people cant go on forever. Are we going to allow people who have been vaccinated twice the option of going for a test, just incase they're worried their vaccine hasnt worked? If so that just screams throwing away money for the sake of it I agree but I'm only going on whats worked in China without being against civil rights etc. Closing borders and mass testing, in a month back to normal or potential tiers and lockdowns until mass vaccination. From what the SG have said today we won't be back to normal this year. I'm saying there is a way to get there quicker. Vaccines and mass testing. What is 10% of GDP? Less than what I'm proposing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean uk btw To be fair I haven't seen any country strictly keep all it's citizens at home for 6 weeks (other than Spain and we all know how well that worked). The UK is not an outlier in that regard. Mass testing doesn't work either as the turnaround is too slow.
