O/T:- Government has utterly failed us!!!

[upthemaggies]

To be honest i do not think the general public would not have noticed, it was all scare tactics by the press, to frighten people into obeying the lockdown rules
What surprisesd me was how willing people were to obey, lets face it most peeople behaved like frightened sheep

[upthemaggies]

What worries me more is that when this enventually is over , they will still try to keep some of the measures of controll. Never give up freedom without a fight

Very important point.

We should have focused all resources/spending on the vulnerable. The money that's gone to waste to achieve sweet FA is staggering.

There’s no question that loads of money has been wasted. There’s also no way you can concentrate on spending resources ‘on the vulnerable’.

By all resources I mean resources for tackling Covid, the millions that's gone towards advertising this virus for example. That's what the scientists against lockdown have been suggesting. Protect the vulnerable and allow the rest of society to function.

The ‘scientists against lockdown’ by and large are fringe cranks with vested interests. The notion that the Vote Leave government we’ve been lumbered with would needlessly close businesses down is ridiculous.

‘The vulnerable’ aren’t some sub section of society that you can close off from everyone else. They live in the same household as others who wouldn’t be classed as ‘vulnerable’. Lots of people who aren’t classed as ‘vulnerable’ die from this disease, or suffer long term effects from this disease. There are no easy answers and to pretend otherwise is dishonest.

They proposed offering the most vulnerable a safe environment. It would cost money but no more than is currently being chucked into an abyss.

And of course, the communist left have no political traction to gain from lockdowns ruining the economy and destroying the private sector.
