Leicester being "locked down" was a joke, totally unenforceable and just pushed more people into the surrounding cities, the exact opposite of what you want to happen
I was out for a pint in a neighbouring city the Monday after the pubs opened and there's just no way people were going to ask "ARE YOU FROM LEICESTER" I mean unless you walked in with a Leicester football shirt on the bar staff wouldn't bat an eyelid and you'd get served
I see the metric has now moved to "cases" being reported, not hospitalisations or deaths, "cases" IMO this is because the numbers of hospitalisations/deaths are "low"
If there is not a second wave I will be shocked and starting to agree wholly with Matt.
I guess the good news is we only have to wait until this weekend to see the impact of pubs opening back up (14 days) And let's not kid ourselves, there was no "social distancing" so given it's been 9 days TODAY, emergency wards should be filling up rapidly from now onwards.
I went to 4 pubs yesterday, believe me from what I've seen it's mostly lip service to the rules, if the doom and gloom mongers are right (and they may be) We should see hospitalisations and deaths mega spike at the absolute latest before August 1st.
crazy anti vaccination idiots
This kind of rhetoric is really not helpful and seems to be a tool the media are using to pile in legitimate concerns into the
conspiracy theory nutjob pigeon hole.
Surely you can see the difference between those objecting to multi decade proven vaccines like MMR, usual childhood vaccines etc, to those objecting to a coronavirus vaccine to which the points of objection seem pretty fair to me, the lack of clinical trials and safe/proper testing, and the arguable lack of necessity with such a high survival rate.
