True number is 51,000 today. That means the true number is between 51,000-120,000
It was 60,000 last week, 50,000 2 weeks ago, 80,000 a few weeks ago No one has a clue what to believe now so its job done, none of these bas*ards will ever see a court room and not one of them will see a jail cell |

Sky News top story: 'Primary schools idea to reopen shelved'... Underneath Sky News top story: 'half of primary schools reopen as lockdown eases'
So they are reopening but not reopening If they are this incompetent why are they still running the show? |

I know there are folks that commute from places like Swansea and Leeds. Why? How many hours does it add on to your working week? Home to train station, cost of parking at station, waiting on train, train journey hopefully without delays and getting a seat, travel from train station to work, and back again every working day. What kind of life is that?

3 hours on train can be useful time pp, beats driving if you are getting ready for something.
I can see commuting being useful but if you need to do it for 6 months or more just move! |

Giving a presentation, leading a team, lots of other reasons
Maybe today you can do it online, but not in my day. You really cannot beat face to face chats to build a relationship, being willing to travel to meet somebody is a powerful tool for building trust. |

If you are travelling simply to do a mundane job then I agree
the travel must be a huge drag on time and your life. When I moved from Newcastle to Durham, which ain't that far I noticed a huge difference caused by additional travel time. 20 mins each way by train but hours by car each day |

Off topic a bit, perhaps, but I seem to recall the media badgering the government to close schools back in March. Now they badger not to open them.
I am not qualified to know either way but I can see how our media are the most trouble making, disagreeable bunch of a*seholes in the country. The BBC are the worst. Every single report on the virus is either full of hysteria or totally bland. Yesterday, one of the BBC's journo's gleefully reported that anyone over the age of 90 was 10,000 times more likely to die of the virus than someone under 40. Well, there's a thing. A 90 year old is more vulnerable. A stupid, stupid thing to report but the BBC just have to find something negative to say on every story. BTW, hindsight is the most precious thing in the world but nobody ever has it until it is too late. Many on here, plus the media, need to bear that in mind a bit more. |

As soon as you read "says science advisor" you know it is bound to be nonsense

Is there much opposition to the assertion we should have gone into lockdown sooner or come out earlier?
There are a number of industries that could have kept working imho. There is a lot of politics involved in this unfortunately politicians of every hue particularly Labour went into hiding when the country for once needed them. |

I also think some of the guilty need exposing.
Forget the Government, they are not even worth it right now Who are PHE and what do they do? How is the NHS run? How do private hospitals run compared to the NHS? |

Here’s something else IT
Those hero’s we clap every week are probably responsible in part for the spreading of the virus in hospitals and into Care Homes. The Covid Wards were secure, probably the safest place in the Hospitals. Many Nurses and Doctors would come out of there and go to other areas of the Hospital. I know for a fact of one hospital in West London where they were served tea and coffee ( by Airline workers ) they did not observe social distancing and did not wear masks.. this was cavalier, blasé and damned stupid and no doubt helped spread the virus. Now all hospital workers INCLUDING the receptionists have to wear masks NOW No wonder sick people did not want to go to hospital |
