The Sunday Times, the once great paper of record, published a story today saying the "herd immunity" plan was Dominic Cumming's, and when pointed out the drawbacks, i.e. lots of deaths, he replied, apparently, so a lot of old people die? Meaning that the economy was to be saved no matter what.
Now, I would like to believe this story, but that we have witnessed the Times and Sunday Times go back on all their principles to back Brexit over reality. I find it amazing that because it is now reporting something they want to believe, they will.
The story might or not be true. The effects of that plan will be thousands of extra deaths over the next few weeks and months, even if there is a total lockdown now, it is too late.
Yesterday, there was a queue of traffic getting into Whitstable, as people saw the first day of schools closing as an excuse to go to the seaside. The Oyster House had a "take out" counter, but people just took their drinks and sat next to each other on the nearby sea wall.
People also went in record numbers to National Trust parks and gardens, so they are now closed, and Snowdon National Park had their busiest ever day, in the middle of a pandemic.
People are just stupid, and lead my a liar, so should we be surprised that the muddled message isn't getting through?
Reality will bite, and by Easter there will be no doubt.
And Ministers want to push ahead with Brexit. As supply chains collapse under the stain. So why not, finish the job that the virus started?
Have a nice day, now.

I have to agree with you here, just can't sit around and watch it happen. I have done two A/E duties and have seen first hand the panic, the fear and the desperation that the weak, old and frail express and the confusion as to why more help was not issued earlier. I have then come home and a little tired have gone into my local Tesco to find empty shelves. I have gone home to my house and seen droves of people heading to the beach as if it's a Bank Holiday weekend and see the hundreds of typical "Middle Class" second home owners flooding small villages and beauty spots with no understanding of their responsibilities and stupidity of their actions. All I have to say is you have been warned and things will change negatively over the next few weeks and I hope above all hope you can all justify your immoral behaviour.
