Corona Virus Treatment

Totally disgusting.
Why can't you buy what you need, once you are in the store does it really matter.

 

At some point the dam is going to break.
People wont put up with this much longer with no light at the end of the tunnel.

 

I suspect that point may be fast approaching. Whatever I may think of this government, I wouldn't welcome mob rule in exchange. Surely it is one of the reasons the government have held back from a further full national lockdown. I imagine behind the scenes there is considerable nervousness about what would happen if they did. I think a lot of the unease relates to the open-endedness. I'm in a position where we still can't see my mother who is almost four weeks in hospital now, plus I have to self-isolate after multiple outbreaks of covid among my colleagues and their families. I can appreciate the reasons behind it, but I know not everyone will do, and I fear patience is wearing thin. We are living in increasingly angry times.

 

In my view, blaming the regulations (government) is misdirected. If folks followed the rules from the outset, we wouldn’t be in this position now.

 

On a brighter note a scientist on the Today programme was saying this morning that the need for masks, social distancing etc will gradually diminish as the infamous "herd immunity" takes on and vaccines emerge.

 

But we would, every time they relax the regulations we will be back to square one, it's a never ending circle until we get some immunity out there, either by people who have survived the virus or from the mythical vaccine.

 

In reality, I agree. But to me, the fact remains, if folks followed the advice, we wouldn’t be where we are.

 

Well yes I agree Freddy, but there is no aim.
You need to give people an aim, we had one in the first lockdown, "suppress the virus" and all that stuff.
But it was just to slow it not finish it off, now we are getting the same and people know the outcome will be the same.
A never ending cycle from lockdown to relaxation, millions out of work etc.

 

Well, the aim has been pretty obvious from the start hasn’t it? For me it has. Avoid contact with others in all forms. If everyone did that, the virus wouldn’t spread. Don’t get me wrong, the mixed messages and general mishandling by the government haven’t helped, but at the end of the day, look to your fellow man for reasons why we now find ourselves in this position.
Only my opinion.

But that does beg the question of - for how long, and to what end? Until the virus is eradicated? Probably, it never will be now. Surely the aim of the restrictions is to take the pressure off the NHS and give us some breathing space while an enhanced track & trace system is put in place.

 

I wonder which lampoon drew up the list of "what's banned" ? I hope the reasons are quickly divulged otherwise, as you say, the natives will soon get very restless.....
