We're an island. Should have been a severe lockdown in march, not the mickey take that they actually attempted in March, Police and army on the streets asking people what they're doing and heavy fines for anyone not following the rules, borders closed to anyone.
Ease out of lockdown but borders still closed to people, goods in only. Once rate of infection is down, reopen the borders to people in but only let loose after a 30 day quarantine.
Do it right do it once.
It's a virus, you can't catch it if you keep away from each other and clean your hands, it's simple, but this is the fundamental thing that people are incapable of doing.
I was talking to a freind of mine abroad and he said we (the UK) are the laughing stock of the world at the moment, as an island we were in an ideal position to quarantine but we didn't, I seriously suspect that Boris doesn't know the meaning of the word!
In the begining we should have stopped all travel in or out of the country and got ourselves sorted out, it's pointless keeping our own people locked up and then allowing others to travel in from anywhere in the world, that defeats everything. As for most of bojo's idea's, well my 10 year old grandaughter could have done better ffs, air bridges, so you couldn't fly from a source country directly into the UK but you could fly from say China to Germany then on to here, yeah, so the virus thinks, 'hmm I'm not allowed in the UK so I will leave this person and stay in Germany' yeah like that's going to happen.
The handling of the whole thing by the nhs has been no better, they had an outbreak in the offices at the local hospital where my wife works, caused no less than by staff working on a covid ward being allowed to use a dining room used by the rest of the hospital, without changing out of the clothes they wore on the ward! They sent all the office staff to work from home and were basically doing ****** all, the wife is asthmatic but was told she had to go in as her job couldn't be done from home, I had a right argument with her boss, she thought she was clever until I asked if the HSE had been notified, she said there was no need, WRONG, it's notifiable under RIDDOR! I informed her of this and also that if there were deaths as a result of her actions then it would be her in court to explain her actions, finally she got onto the infection control team, their idea of a deep clean was to send the regular cleaners in, they made such a good job there was still dust on the picture fram on my wifes desk afterwards!
we had the latest cock up this weekend, a mass exodus from London, people should not have been allowed to travel but they were, and did, now they are talking about putting police on bus and rail stations to stop it, too little too late in my opinion! If you ask me all those who live in London and have run off to relatives should be fined heavily on their return, we were told that we could only meet up with people on Christmas day, so if that's the case where are all these people now, and how will they get back to London on Boxing day, there are no trains!
You watch, once again it's all about London, we will all end up in a hard lockdown thanks to the behaviour of some selfish southerners, I hope I don't encounter any where I live because I will be straight onto the police demanding they are sent back! My wife and I had Covid, in March last year, long before it officially existed and it was bad, very bad, we both spent3 days in bed, breathing was extremely difficult and we were sweating like crazy, it took weeks to feel anything like normal, at the time we just thought it was the flu, but later on when the whole Covid thing broke, we recognised the symptoms.
There is not only the physical side of it, there are financial and mental health issues too, as some of you know I have MH issues and was just getting back on my feet when all this happened, my confidence was coming back, I had done some training and found a job on the railways earning a thousand pounds a week, all was rosy in the garden, then it all collapsed, I lost my job, my confidence took a knock and I'm back to staying at home most days, sometimes I really do feel it's not worth going on. I think that if something isn't done properly and soon there will be rioting in the streets, we are now being told that this situation could well go on long into 2021, well if that is the case god help this government if we have a long hot summer because this country will burn!
People have had enough, you can't travel, neither can I, but if you're a politician, a celebrity, or a toff then go where you like, it's wrong and people are sick of it, if it does all kick off there is no way of stopping it, thanks to cutbacks we have not the resources, Britain will burn, mark my words.
