Coronavirus Pandemic

Not closing the borders early or at least tightening entry requirements for those coming here was the biggest fuck up of them all.

Killing all those people in the care homes wasn't great either.

How were they supposed to know the patients discharged from hospital back into care homes had Covid if the tests don't work?

Schools won't reopen before March

So lockdown effectively extended until march 8th as schools first to open. I know it was only slim hope of some things reopening in feb but still march feels a long way away.


I’m not sure what Starmer is doing in PMQs demanding certain groups are vaccinated next. He attacks the governemnt for not following science yet wants to change the way the vaccines are handled which are set by the Independent Joint Vaccination Committee not the government.

This means we'll have more lockdowns this year and next because all the people they killed and are killing with these lockdowns, and fucking around with the NHS, have to be buried somewhere. Covid is certain to be the mass grave.

Further lockdowns depend on the efficacy of the vaccine IMO. If it's all it's cracked up to be hopefully things will improve and they won't be necessary.

The big unknown is how it affects transmission of the virus. We know its effective based on the data so far at reducing the effects of the virus & therefore reducing amount requiring hospital treatment etc.

However, we cant tell how it limits transmission as we are all under lockdown. If it doenst limit transmission then suspect every winter will end up with some form of restrictions in place. Groups of six etc

Over time herd immunity will emerge and we'll move on. Spanish flu did have 4 waves I believe over 2 years then it went away - or rather we built up enough immunity to it.

One big crisis that's coming is that bacteria are increasingly becoming resistant to antibiotics.

Citizens in France, Belgium and now the Netherlands are all suffering draconian curfews that haven't been seen since the Nazis were goose-stepping up and down the streets. Rioting is spreading across Europe. Maybe the French and the Dutch will have to save us this time around. Doesn't look like anyone in the UK is going to do much.

This will probably be used in future text books when the great coronavirus scam is studied. Assuming we ever come back from this.
