It's taken as a given that the government way is the only way, so of course people like your good self and 59/60, who trust the BBC and get their news and info from it, don't know any different.
    Name some of the numerous Official committees or bodies that disagree. Maybe the BBC can’t find any that do? A few ad hoc groups complained in April but they had no status and have gone quiet now.
    How many other countries are doing this that have nothing to do with Boris, open your eyes and see as the song says
    Try Scotland Wales Ireland France Germany Australia and China and Asian countries.

    Here's a few to be going on with OC, but don't try too many at one go, it might come as a shock to someone who relies on the BBC for his news. Check them out, see what they're saying, if you have an open mind it shouldn't really be a problem, but somehow I suspect a lie down in a darkened room, with a nice cup of tea might be advisable afterwards.

    Professor Martin Marshall, chairman of the Royal College of General Practitioners.
    Jonathan Sumption QC.
    Recovery.
    Jay Bhattacharya, Professor of Medicine at Stanford University.
    Professor Carl Heneghan, director for the Centre of Evidence-Based Medicine.
    Clare Craig, Consultant Pathologist, Imperial College Healthcare Trust/Head of Pathology at Panakeia.
    Martin Kulldorff, PhD, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School/biostatistician and epidemiologist in the Division of Pharmacoepidemiology .
    Sunetra Gupta, Professor of theoretical epidemiology at the Department of Zoology, University of Oxford.

    That should do to be going on with OC, but trust me, I can give you plenty more where they came from, dozens of them.

    Tried but can’t find anything for Marshall or Heneghan. We don’t have a lockdown policy yet, other countries do. Here’s some Public Health doctors offering advice which the chief Scientist and Medical Officer seem to be following here.
    One was my old boss.
