Lockdown is here

According to the SAGE meeting notes herd immunity wasn’t a strategy it was a positive by product of keeping levels down to one the NHS could cope with, the lock down was just a part of that strategy as predictions were coming in that levels were rising too fast. At the time cases a nation could cope with were concentrated in the Greater London area.

I think testing for the well is a bit of a red herring, although I accept that a quick and accurate test for essential workers to enable them to return to work if they, or someone in their household have just got a normal cough or fever.

The only sensible strategy would be an opening up of society that enables the NHS to cope with those who become sick enough to require medical attention, those at high risk of becoming dead need to stay away from others until a vaccine or herd immunity kicks in.

I read today that UK has already spent £16m on "Chinese" medicines that don't work.
To me, this indicates the pressures on the government to do "SOMETHING? ANYTHING? NOW!!!"

Took part in online quiz last night. The questions were asked on you tube and you gave the answers via the question masters web site. Over 800 took part lasted nearly 2 1/2 hrs. Is this the future post lockdown. More interaction over the interweb, people spending less time socialising in pubs and clubs. Maybe concerts will be broadcast live to enable more people to watch.

So Pritti Patel told us yesterday in the press briefing that shop lifting offences had decreased, well I don't wanna show my ignorance here, but most shops are shut. She forgot to tell us that trouble in pubs had decreased dramatically and football violence was at an all time low.

Is this woman for real.
