ell we will see in time what this farce is all about..as the true medical stats now sure it sure as hell isnt about a virus any worse than a bad flu season...i cant see how anybody can believe the death/case rate warrants the reactions from the govts worldwide..its either planned or they are totally incompetent....
I refer you again to Hanlon's Razor.rustednut said:
Totally incompetent, definitely a maybe.
Planned? World wide, in a matter of days and weeks? Remember when the virus 1st struck and was spreading like wildfire, there was no planning or control at all. We (country) were not even listening to the parts of the world that had suffered before we did, and then we reacted so badly and slowly afterwards, there is not a chance in hell you could even consider it planned.
Johnson doesn't plan, he reacts. leads from the front when he knows what direction his followers are going.
What you should be asking is, why so many voted him in. It was fairly obvious we were asking for chaos at that point, and boy, have we got it.
Why so many voted for him is simple , he was the least st or 2 stty candidates .Planned? World wide, in a matter of days and weeks?

I find "politicians are incompetent" far easier to believe than "politicians are clever enough to orchestrate a massive global conspiracy together without anyone breaking ranks". Indeed there is masses of evidence for the former and very little for the latter.
There is no conspiracy, it's just a perfect storm of social media and main stream over reactions and incompetent politicians led by social media. May be Labour or the Liberal Democrats would have handled it differently (probably worse..) but that's still no excuse for incompetence. I hope their arses get kicked really hard at the next election. Loos like they are going to play the same trick of pulling out the rug from beneath your feet again by re-introducing two weeks quarantine if you visit Portugal, and pulling people off flights from Zante and instructing them to go into quarantine for 2 weeks.
The virus is burning itself out just like every other strain of flu.
I do not want to see a future of permanent Zombie Apocalypse Mask wearing folk because of this. I like to see peoples faces and a smile when appropriate.
When will it end?
When can we go back to normal?

Clearly you are living in a 'post fact' world, anything you agree with you assert with no evidence (and extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence in my world), and anything you disagree with you stoop as low as saying 'Well you say anything written down must be fact' (which is clearly nonsense).
Here’s an interesting way to spend a few hours

This Primary School has mandated masks for all pupils, even encouraging reception age children to wear them.

The sooner all this nonsense as well as social distancing and the threat of local lock downs is over the better.

Maybe (pre Covid)
10% of the population fell into the leave right now camp
10% of the population fell into the bks to Brexit lets undo the result
20% of the population don’t give a st either way
59.9999% of the population just want it to fking go away so the media obsess about something else (I’m not sure they expected or even dreamed that it would be Covid that pushed it down the news agenda but thems the surprises you get in life)
And I can’t help but pay tribute to the 0.0001% of the population didn’t bother to vote on anything but still think they are entitled to an opinion on it and should be listened too (SIBI I’m talking about you)
Notes
Percentages are made up with no survey or polling data I just stuck a finger in the air and guessed so within a margin of error c10%
by population I mean electorate or population so split hairs somewhere else

What a total joke. I don’t have kids but if I did and they were at that school, they wouldn’t be going. Douglas Quaid said:
Yes we’re at a point where this is now over. In England 2 people died yesterday with it in their system. 300 people in hospital. It’s already at a point where it’s far less dangerous than flu, no vaccines needed.
At some point I’m hoping the politicians work out a way they can slime and crawl their way out of their fk up and let the world go back to normal. As soon as they sack off face masks I think everything will be normal again to be honest. So no point killing yourself over It. Yet anyway.
Rumours circulating that Witty (who has championed lockdown and masks) is about to Resign (or be sacked) Along with Hancock who showed himself to be on a powertrip in the chamber today.At some point I’m hoping the politicians work out a way they can slime and crawl their way out of their fk up and let the world go back to normal.

I think if they both go, (I hope) the Gov will point to them and say "all their idea, we think we don't need X, Y Z"
And use it to row back on things. Problem is that I don't think Boris hears the people as much as the wkers in the media. Maybe if he dared to meet some people in the world, he'd get a more rounded view of things.
As said elsewhere, he currently has a habit of copying Sturgeon, so this masks in schools bks will be a good place for him to stop that!

Most people are just recycling the same mushy crap they heard on the TV or Radio (ie that it's all dangerous and anything we can do to help and so on) .
I find it odd on BBC interviews on the street, they only ever have Pro Maskers or Pro Lockdowners.
Like they only ever air the views that fit their rhetoric..... the trick is to do a live interviews and pretend you are going along and then give them the old switcheroo.
