It's institutional murder. Decisions have been taken by government and its hand picked health experts they chose to go with and they have killed people.

Daily figures have never been any use and that also applied when record high levels were recorded and posted everywhere, it was never the daily figure but always the trend that mattered. The R figure is now around 0.7 or less - the trend is therefore definitely lower.
Keeping that R figure at or below 1 is key to managing without getting a second peak.
There does need to be some perspective on this virus though imo - as the amount of coverage is giving the impression it's the worst thing anyone can get when for the vast majority it just isn't, for them its not cancer and almost always not a killer. It is massively and disproportionally more virulent on the elderly and more vulnerable members of our society - those with underlying conditions including it seems those very overweight.
You can look at different vulnerabilities and see the risk varies quite dramatically with age. While nationally we're comfortably past the peak, it's far from clear with the very vulnerable and exposed - the rate of deaths in care homes for example - has even reached it's peak at all.
At the other end of the scale there are 10 million people under 15 - out of the 30,000 with Covid on their death certificates, only two are from this age group - two from 10,000,000.
It's never this straightforward but generally, the younger you are, if not in an especially vulnerable group, then the chances of dying from this virus are staggeringly low.
The vaccine is the only real long-term cure but that's a hope it's not a certainty, personally I'm optimistic within two years, but we may have to manage this for years and years there are no guarantees.
Steps to go back to work have to be and need to be managed and planned with the new changed circumstances with a constant eye on potential dangers, but we can't just ignore the misery, suffering and deaths that could occur from an economy so wrecked it has no hope of recovery for decades - we can't have governments pouring money out while businesses produce nothing and risk collapsing, risking terminal decline is not the answer.

Please leave immediately, as there’s no place in here for a sensible and balanced posting lol

Keep an eye out if she has been part time as the employer/Government can average the wage over 12 month, I have a relation who did 6 months part time & 6 months full time and she got an average 80% on the 12 month tax year......
even though he last 6 months was full time.....

A trickster essentially. Dave believes people have been placed here to support the government’s handling of this, which has been clearly abundant in this thread.

You can do whatever you like... Papers have said so and the government aren't telling people to stay at home. We've beaten this foren invader and all it took was a few weeks of lockdown a VE afternoon tea, a piss up and a conga.
It runs out of @peteblue pub
