Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[bullybeef]

National lockdown, including shutting all schools, for the whole of January.

Focus on gettting the infection rate down, ease pressure on hospitals and vaccinating as many people as possible.

Why is this Government dithering again.

Given the latest figures announced today and the comments by the medics and scientists I will be truly astounded not to mention worries if the Government do not announce another national lockdown with immediate effect.

This virus is completely out of control and it’s coming to kill you, your parents and your friends. Make no mistake!

Its nailed on.

Presser tomorrow apparently.

Considering how slow the vaccination programme is going its going to be a very difficult 6 months.

I do hope that tomorrow they at least set realistic time frames and confirm a FULL 3 or 4 month lockdown. Not the we'll see where we are in a month nonsense.

Small businesses etc will probably be gone by 2022 which is definitely a shame but the new virus has changed everything.

I see Russia has finally come clean and said that their deaths are actually 186k, some 3 times more than previously stated. Germany should also have come clean but I doubt they will......

I don't think we're in any position to criticises.

On TS news. It might have been a footie one mind, but pretty sure I heard it right.

Completely agree, all this a little bit here a little bit there is not doing anyone any favours.

Lockdown for 2-3 months, save the NHS and get bloody vaccinating!

Everything else will need to wait.

When I started this thread almost a year ago I really didn’t anticipate that this would be as serious or as long lasting.

I really wish I hadn’t had reason to start the thread. It’s so so so sad.

Tell Richi to shove his economy where the sun don’t shine.

This country will be happier and richer with people staying alive rather than dying at the hands of covid.

Well it’s not coming to kill my missus, who’s already had it and didn’t die, plus she’s just had the jab, nor is it coming to kill my mother in law who’s had the jab too or my eldest lad who’s had it and didn’t die.

How about a bit pragmatism, rather than spouting Daily Mail “ the sky is failing down nonsense “.

One thing this pandemic has shown is the NHS is not fit for purpose unfortunately.

They may use this as reasoning to move to an insurance system in future years, a lot of people are probably willing to pay for adequate healthcare.

Wot?

Bit of a two footer, snide at that, at an organisation that has worked its nads off dealing with this.

Your family are very fortunate all round.
Unfortunately others aren’t so fortunate.

How about you think of others not just you and yours.

I bet you’re one of those selfish gets hosting a large NYE party on Thursday.
