OT. Schools...normality and Coronavirus.

So back to the question hand.

Lockdown or not?

Both has consequences, so pick one.
This is where the government cannot win. Damned if it does, damned if it doesn't.
That's why for me, it has to go now.
These are peoples lives have to move on. Rolls will be shedding around 8000 jobs very soon, the majority in Derby. That'll be at least 5 jobs per RR person effected as well. So 25000 jobs in Derby area alone from one company.

99% of us cannot live off a state hand out.
This is/has costing a fortune we can ill afford. It also another reason we have to leg it from the EU asap as well, before we get dragged into their £2 trillion rescue plan.
Sweden didn't lock down and have been no worse off.
Practice common sense and no crowds and get on with it please.

Its a twenty-dimensional chess game and no the government can't win

if the NHS and other GENUINELY non-discretionary industries was staffed by robots I'd say remove lockdown and let folk take their chances, and only lockdown again when the non-socialy-distanced sillybuggers have started to fill up the NHS, BUT the NHS aren't robots and its not fair on them to play russian roulette with their lives

Fair comment.
But it isn't going away anyway, so they are in danger?
We have this until it either-
1. burns itself out
2. a vaccine is available.

The one thing that has surprised me, is the fact that London has plummetted so much case wise.
It is by far our most densly populated city, which most folks use public transport.
So whats happening up norf that's mucking up the figures?
