Anyone sending there littlest ones back tomorrow?

Even if I could, hell no.

What an amazing yet simultaneously unsurprising read that is.

All I can say is, thank God it's not the Labour party ballsing this all up. Everything seems to be made up as we go along, awful, awful government from top to bottom. With this " lockdown " being eased, the feeling from me is they are just rolling the dice with people's lives.

About time really. I'm pretty irritated they've not been more vocal earlier than this.

No.

Were sending littlest one back to nursery Wednesday.
Where do we draw the line?

Although having mad panic now..

Was talking to an old colleague in the UK today and they raised a very good point, he said R numbers are being presented as national averages, there are however regional variants, he mentioned there were some areas in the UK were the R is above 1 and then some, however the 1 nationally is still being used to justify opening up. Obviously that puts some people more at risk then others.

It was something I honestly hadn’t considered before, very good point and something to keep in mind when it comes to reproduction numbers and how governments use and present them.

Only a tool would would use a general figure for the whole of the country and apply it locally to advise shielding people to step outside.

This thread won't please the lets jump on @davek team, for some of whom it has become too personal for my liking

It's possibly the most destructive and disgraceful call made thus far - and that is some competition (failure to lockdown early enough; sending ill people back into care homes, failure to supply PPE, appalling failures in testing).

Basically the heartless scum are telling people who have been vulnerable and shielding indoors for 12 weeks that they can go outdoors again at a point where infection rates are still running at as many as 8,000 per day. Imagine what sort of 'kin monster you have to be to tell people desperate to get out but fearful for their well being that?

Thank you for that slur against my sexuality. It is of course well known on this forum that I am bisexual.

Is it?

Not by me it's not.

Sitting there in your piss stained y-fronts, giving out homophobic abuse. Nice one.

Homophobic abuse - how do you arrive at that conclusion?

You just don't know, do you, boomer?

If you had the decency you like to think you have then you'd apologise.

I back @davek on this. No homophobic abuse and I too am unaware of anyone's sexuality on this forum aside from my own.

Are you thick as well?

Right from the moment Ferguson was set up and fired, we've seen these murderers take up one position after another that's resulted in where they want to be: back just before the point they had to call the lockdown when they shat their pants at the prospect of 200,000-500,000 dead. They've made the decision to go back to full on herd immunity survival of the fittest. They've been emboldened by the lack of raging opposition to 64,000 people being killed and are now going for it. The economy is their priority; always was and always will be. There will be no more lockdowns. Anyone believing that we'll see another are living in a fools paradise. This is it, they've gone for the jugular. Dont become their victim. Dont listen to their advice. Stay indoors and stay safe.
