Yes, he who claimed the Grenfell Tower fire victims did not use “common sense” and leave the burning buildingRees-Mogg would describe this as 'carping.'
If they gave me immunity (that is they didn't lock me in a box for the rest of my life) I would quite happily put a bullet through his brain, difficult a shot as that might be with such a small target. My main concern is that I would try not to derive pleasure from doing it.
And the isolation with not getting out and about as normal can cause long term mental health problems in those showing no physical symptoms.In the short term. There are possible signs that the virus can cause long term problems even in those that have mild or no symptoms on initial infection.
We had spare capacity in the nightingale hospitals that lay empty and others not even built as not needed the u turn followed concern over the negative publicity and public petrified of covid-19. The surge capacity was there if needed. Social distancing and shielding (and this time do it properly with rigerious infection control) is the best way to get through a disease which for the overwhelming majority is a mild illness.
We still have no track and trace!
There now talk of 6 months of on off lockdowns restrictions. I think we have passed the point of where people need to take responsibility for themselves and choose the level of risk there willing to live with at what cost.
One has been running in the Northern Ireland section of the 'United' Kingdom for two months.I could've written the bloody app by now!

If we're all going to take responsibility for ourselves (and not anybody else?), then I look forward to seeing what adjustments people make to speed limits, drink driving standards, gun laws, etc.
It's essentially based on, and, I believe, interoperable with, the one the Republic has had running for a good while* - Scotland was going to head along the same route, but I'm not sure what's happened about that. England and Wales seems determined to plough their own very shallow, but expensive, furrow.Difference being they weren't designing it as a spying tool?
I'm a firm believer people will act in the common good .
I admire your faith, but people here can't even leave a bog roll that they don't need on the shelf for somebody else.I'm a firm believer people will act in the common good
I think you give the British public too much credit, I'd put money on 1 in 5 ignoring any guidance given.
It's is if you drink it. But as we're not American that's not likely to happen."hand sanitiser is toxic"
Or from StokeIt's is of you drink it. But as we're not American that's not likely to happen.
That would be fine if the bastards refusing to take basic measures didn't then go shopping alongside those trying to be careful.I don't think it's a case of people thinking there immune it's people looking at the risk profile and deciding where they want to sit within the profile. If certain activities sit too high within the risk profile you should refrain from doing them. We could be stuck with this virus for several years yet and life has to go on.
The trouble with lockdowns is they cannot be kept up long term and as soon as they are relaxed cases surge back to there natural level. Distanced hygiene on the other hand is easier to keep up long term and can help greatly in slowing transmission through the population.
The fear now is our summer lockdown has pushed peak transmission into the winter period where healthcare system will be under most demand.
