Covid: Virus cases are going down across the UK
Data suggests lockdown is working, but the health secretary says there is "still a long way to go".

Lowest R rate has been since July 2020. When we had no vaccine. And were still in winter.

Having sex qualifies as exercise, surely?I never said it was specifically stated. I said that the restrictions certain people are saying should be in place for the rest of this calendar year as a minimum would mean this to continually be the case.
'We are desperate for human contact': people breaking lockdown for sex
For nearly 12 months, single people have been unable to form new relationships. With their chances to start a family or find love slipping away, many are now ignoring the ruleswww.theguardian.com
So unless outdoor sex is legal (is it?) this is another example of people not thinking things through properly. Tbh, single people in general have been completely shafted (wa-hay) throughout this whole pandemic. If you can WFH, are middle class and have a family this whole thing is a very different experience- something I don’t think the politicians or SAGE have given much consideration to.
I’ll give you an example. My best friend lives with his parents. His partner lives alone. His parents have formed a bubble with his grandmother and his partner has formed a bubble with her own parents. Now correct me if I’m wrong, this means he is technically not allowed to see his partner? Now imagine the situation for so many people who are single or even worse single and live alone. And what little hope these people have of some normality and a chance to engage in some basic human socialisation and enjoyment in life this summer with the vaccination programme underway. And as always, the usual suspects with no actual insight into anything or how people actually function continually try to piss all over the bonfire with their own agenda. It’s tedious now. Everyone can see it and everyone has had enough of it.
Not sure you can link those 4 together on containment alone. What about size Vs population and or population density
The various national psyche.
3 are Islands.
(But so is the UK, therin lies the whole crux of the master and the decision was made...or rather not made.
Why is the the real question)
I don't know about the others but the Aust. NZ went pretty early with isolating their island resulted in just 906 deaths in Australia
Did we get lucky or do you make your own luck, I think it was isolation and luck

We announced that would the best way to treat a first jab in those situations last week.
Makes perfect sense.
Sheeps piss
Snails piss
So you want the old and vulnerable to live a normal life by restricting all those not classed as that?
Different national psyche
All your preaching is totalitarianism, dressed up as care for the elderly
Please. Your deluded.

I agree with you, but you’re blaming entirely the wrong people there.
We could have avoided almost all that this winter, with a working system that could detect local outbreaks before they spread too far. We still need that system now, given the vaccine rollout and the likelihood that protection might not last for so long (as well as the risk posed by future pandemics).
Having to go through what we are going through now is because of a failure of government policy. They are the ones who’ve been panicked into doing this because the alternative is so horrific they feared they’d pay the price for it.
Having to go through it again in future will be our fault, for allowing it to happen.

Yes. You might have noticed we are not living in normal times.
Sacrifice and community have to be the way forward. Admittedy, that'll be a massive shock to the rampant individualism that most of Thatcher's Kinder have been used to for the last 4 decades.
