[Grammar Police]

It's happening.

 

[ivanthereasonable]

You mean the "World class test and trace" ?

 

[Banks]

It's absolutely pointless.

I don't see what a 2 week lockdown would achieve. Treating us like idiots now. Labell it as a 2 week lockdown but in reality it'll be longer

That’s probably because you’re not an epidemiologist.

Because they've been spot on so far haven't they

What have they got wrong?

 

[Banks]

What have they got wrong?

It's not their job to worry about the economy so it would be extremely harsh to criticise them.

However the lockdown earlier in the year didn't work. The airline industry is pretty much dead thousands out of work.

Now the winter lockdowns will soon kill off pubs and parts of the hospitality industry.

Another 3 month lockdown and this country will be on its arse more than it's ever been.

What have they got wrong?

Everything except furlough

 

[lawe toppa]

If we need to lockdown again, it proves lockdowns do not work.
We are going to end up with nothing left before long...jobs, economy etc.
The figures from the ONS the other day revealed that flu and pneumonia are now killing more people in the UK than covid and we have a vaccine for flu

who the scientists?

[MONTYMCPHAIL]

The government collectively

 

[Jasper]

The government collectively

of which no epidemiologists are part of?

You don't need to be a scientist to suggest everyone not leaving the house will prevent deaths

 

[Jasper]

You don't need to be a scientist to suggest everyone not leaving the house will prevent deaths

You said you can’t see what a 2 week lockdown would achieve. You didn’t suggest everyone not leaving the house will prevent deaths.

 

[Porters right boot]

It's absolutely pointless.

I don't see what a 2 week lockdown would achieve. Treating us like idiots now. Labell it as a 2 week lockdown but in reality it'll be longer

But isn’t it the idiots who are failing to socially distance,failing to wear masks,failing to admit there’s a problem that are causing the threat of a second lock down

 

[Silly Point]

That’s Finals Day and the Bob Willis final off then. Yorkshire with the last laugh

 

[Banks]

You said you can’t see what a 2 week lockdown would achieve. You didn’t suggest everyone not leaving the house will prevent deaths.

What did it achieve last time? Nothing as we need another one

It isn't a long term strategy but scarily it seems to be our long term strategy

Coronavirus: Government dismisses claims of fresh two-week national lockdown

Health minister Edward Argar tells Sky News that the prime minister "doesn't want to see another national lockdown".
