Not another Boris u turn weeks after everyone else told him to do it.

An analogy..
The lockdown is to try and avoid a Leppings lane end scenario, where lots of people are funneling into an area that can't cope with the volume...

Yes, i understand that Dubs, but no matter how long we lock down for the Coronavirus will still be there. As soon as the lockdown lift's case's will rise again and non Covid patients will again be put back.
Businesses will go bust, suicide rates will go sky high, people will die of other illnesses through missing hospital appointments.
This is what underfunding has done to the NHS.
A round of applause once a week is what they get, while MP's award themselves obscene pay rises every year.
To put it bluntly, although we like to think we are different from other animals, we aren't. No matter how educated we are, no matter how posh we are, nature see's us as just another animal species, and when that species overpopulates or becomes a pest, nature does something about it.

......... no matter how posh we are, nature see's us as just another animal species, and when that species overpopulates or becomes a pest, nature does something about it.

My mother in law is quite a young 70 year old, doesn’t smoke or drink, she had Covid back in May, wiped her out for about a week similar to the effects of catching the flu. However she still has no sense of smell and is not the person she was before, gets tired very easily and is now quite forgetful. We shouldn’t underestimate the long effects of this disease on the relatively healthy..

Olfactory loss is a big indicator of underling illness......and now recognized as a sign of having the infection...
It will take time......
