Also, our new Health Secretary is suggesting that we will see 100,000 new cases every day.
Even with very small percentages ending up in hospital and dying, is this the right approach - as I say, only the UK has gone for the schmidt or bust, risk everything on red approach.
After 15 months of restrictions, the "now or never claim" seems bloody ludicrous, it clearly isn't now or never.[/quote]
It clearly is, you do understand basic economics. Ludicrous is shutting the country down for lower death rates than the flu. This is not a game, a crash will follow and we need to be back in business before anyone else especially the EU who are useless imho. Thought you might have worked that out due to the vaccine success, why waste it for christ sake.
Who said s or bust its just common sense as the figures now add up, Boris is many things but even he isn't that stupid as to miss the boat on this one.
Maybe just for once accept that something has gone in our favour and we are right and we have to be brave, instead of hiding from reality as you seem to be.
It will survival of the fittest imo, if you can't see that I think you're in for a very rude awakening.
