Yes, but we must protect the economy.
How much of a sociopath do you have to be to toe this line?
Its all about the money.
A country that has a fiat currency can’t run out of money.
As long as growth and inflation beat interest rates it’s always worth borrowing to invest.
It’s absolutely insane and economically illiterate to destroy the economy worrying about today’s deficit when you will need to spend exponentially more to get back what you’ve lost.
Jesus can you imagine these morons in charge during WW2? “Sorry we’re out of money for spitfires, got to keep the deficit under control” ... ten years later your deficit doesn’t matter cos you trade in Deutschmarks.
If we push millions out of work, destroy viable businesses, push people into mental health crises, it’ll cost us so much to get back.
Well, I would consider being allowed out once a day for exercise across the whole nation as pretty much shielding.
Sending patients into care homes from hospital is a completely different thing.
It doesn't protect 'the economy'.
As i've posted previously, 'the economy' to a Conservative (and New Labour) politician does not mean the livelihoods of the masses, it means the very wealthy.
The inaction the first time around left our economy in a worst state and now the job losses are piling up.
the excess death rate since March is similar to the worse 7 months of the Blitz, were people then saying fuck going down air raid shelters any more, or wearing gas masks or shipping kids out to the country, let's get back to normal, get those kids back in school?!
Thing is, it is popular in the country, just not among his party.So it is now with a 'circuit breaker'. It might not be popular but it's necessary, now grow some balls and implement it.
Your correct I don't, but I have a brain even half of one would realise they failed to do there job there is no way it infected 20k people from one market before mutating to spread, it was always able to spread form one human to another.You know nothing about pathology dude
The science he was told about herd immunity, he tried everyone moaned so he locked us down.If Johnson and the Tories were these business minded geniuses, they'd have listened to everything the scientists told them. Ultimately, there was no trade off between 'following the science' and protecting the economy. The best thing to do was to take all the steps to minimise the spread of the virus as soon as possible. In both health and economic terms we'd be much much better off. Instead we've ended up in the worst of both worlds.
No, just no. Not remotely what happened and herd immunity isn’t a viable strategy. It’s something you achieve eventually after years and/or a vaccine.The science he was told about herd immunity, he tried everyone moaned so he locked us down.

No. Herd immunity was the cover used for not following the correct course of action. Not least because of the extent to which his government and its predecessors had decimated the state's ability to respond, including ignoring recommendations from Operation Cygnus.The science he was told about herd immunity, he tried everyone moaned so he locked us down.
It seems there's a certain I'm not an expert, but I'm going to ignore the experts' views on this because it doesn't tally with my wishes or beliefs.like most people, I'm not an expert
Not saying it was but people didn't want lockdown so he tried herd immunity on the advice of his advisors, like 2 weeks later they l oked down as people were complaining about cases deaths ect, my point is you can't please everybody especially in todays day of age.No, just no.

No my point is you can't please very one no matter what somebody moans.because it's highly unlikely to work without a vaccine. And like most people, I'm not an expert just what I've read about since this think started and it seems to be the consensus among many scientists though no doubt you'll dig up some crack pot like Sikora who states otherwise but that doesn't prove it to be true.

We previously shielded everyone and that didn't work.
That was your original quote. Maybe I'm mad but when we talk about everyone I assume that to include the people in care homes.
Besides which we had the lockdown and the number of cases, deaths etc fell. We've opened stuff up and their rising again. So it's easy to argue that it did work as there's a correlation. Of course there will likely be other factors (the change in temperatures etc) that made a difference but when you look at other places like Brazil with a hotter climate than us that didn't shut down and their cases haven't dropped off it adds more credibility to the thought it was the lockdown that had the bigger effect than the weather.

No, this still isn’t what happened either.Not saying it was but people didn't want lockdown so he tried herd immunity on the advice of his advisors, like 2 weeks later they l oked down as people were complaining about cases deaths ect, my point is you can't please everybody especially in todays day of age.
In a parallel universe, upon reading this comment, loads of the Brexit voters facepalm as they realise why so many twitter comments they agreed with contained upside down exclamation marks.Its obviously a bot or something.

I think you're getting shielding mixed up with something else. People that were told to shield were not allowed to leave the house at all. They also had to distance from anyone in their household - the advise was not to be in the same room.Right, ok. Did we shield a lot of people who weren't vulnerable? Yes we did.
