I wouldn't wish covid on anyone, but a mild dose might make you wake up and face reality. if they get it and dont die wont they have naturally aquired antibodies ? if they get it and die do they still allow you to bury the body ? no matter how dystopian they make it, folk still arent budging. its really impressive.

Locking down too late, advising, instead of instructing, relaxing restrictions to quickly, failing to lockdown over Christmas properly and then announcing freedom day as if covid has magically disappeared. Hes a useless twat But I'm happy to take my chances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But largely. Some figure put out early on was around around 6-8% reduction in risk of catching it by the wearer. Dunno if that's changed since. Each to their own, but I reckon that's quite a decent benefit, so in certain situations I wear one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt mistakes made, and these will come out during the inquiry. As has been discussed at length on here though, there are loads of reasons that affect numbers of cases etc. One of those reasons is people, and their attitude to government control. Seems generally less acceptable here than in most other places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not first requested in autumn last year? and of course the Russian interference in elections during last the general election 2 years did not come out dispute boris promising it will come out after the election.

Yep, he has cost lives in this country by being incompetent. I think the acceptance that the current government is incompetent and the successful vaccine rollout has meant people have glossed over it. This along with people wanting to look forward to a better time even though it is a pretense with current rising rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this wonderful, world beating vaccination rollout has kept the new infection figures down to an average of 30,000 a day. Well well done Boris.

Well well done Boris. Jesus. He alone makes every decision does he? No input from anyone else. When Spain matches the low level of restrictions we have, see what happens then. Loads of people wanted restrictions lifting earlier than they were; in the words of whitty "we have to learn to live with it at some point". Unless you have all the answers and can prove they're correct then sometimes you have to try things 20000 of us enjoyed a day in the sun at the football today. Shite result but a pleasure to go nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT's averaging around 25,000 cases a day Spain around 3000. I reckon Spain have it right, don't you. Glad you enjoyed your day in the sun.

They have had 85000+ deaths. Increase that by 40-50% and weirdly it is very similar to UK deaths. Just so easy to blame one person though, and not bother to look even a little scientifically at all factors.

It's about responsibility, and unfortunately your employers are not being responsible. I've known him for 20 odd years and have jacked a couple of times previously only to come back when he gets himself in the inevitable mess. No way am I going to work in schools this winter with all those little covid-bombs milling around like grenades about to explode and release viruses like shrapnel, I caught covid from a school this summer.
