Yet more lies perpetuating panic

[grantzer]

It wouldn't be all those people alive.

Sage minuted meeting with Boris and cabinet....."the public ain't sufficiently scared enough"

Cases were falling before lockdown 1 had any impact.

Only time in history healthy people have been quartined and put under house arrest.

We disagree as I think the principle of lockdown is sickening.

They only had a go at it here because Italians complied and they thought they cud then do it......Italians now rebelling.

Lockdowns,whatever you think of them are not the problem,it's all the other stuff needed during lockdown that didn't happen that is the problem.i am pretty sure lockdown has been terrible for the vast majority,but if done properly,there is no reason why it wouldn't work. If Boris had closed the borders,if he had ensured anyone needing any help got it,if he had made sure nobody suffered financially,then lockdown one could have had a massive effect.

If families were allowed to see each other,if he hadn't sent the old folk back to their nursing homes,if he had acted quicker,all of these things probably would have made a difference.

But Boris doesn't like giving bad news, so he dithered.

I think if lockdown one had lasted a month, the borders had been,and remained closed,and nobody lost any money,we could have pretty much eradicated covid,restarted the economy,and be in a position similar to New Zealand now.
Playing lockdown hokey-cokey is the problem, telling us everything will be fine one day,and we are all doomed the next is the problem. Telling us how well the UK is doing when any idiot can see it's not true,that is the problem.
