Well the usual bunch of tame scientists have been proved wrong ( wrong by several orders of magnitude ) with their forecasts since March 2020, Sweden which did not lock down had lower peaks than us in 'the waves' and is about the same as us now with hospitalisation and deaths... did the lockdowns do any good or merely prolong the length of the virus reign and allow more mutations ? We will never reach a stage of zero deaths ( or zero carbon either ) - both are targets that will not ( cnnot ) be met, so why not man up, come out of the cellar, take the tin hat off and carry on and see what happens rather than predicting all kinds of nightmares ( like Brexit project fear all over again ).

I was reading that earlier today Craig. Very worrying.

I don't think that helps your argument given many of the "fears" coming true.

Meanwhile, a new player is entering (re-entering?) the game: Beta variant. (aka Sth African variant).

Maybe the restrictions get lifted, everyone gets pinged by T&T and we have a 10 day lockdown without it actually being a lockdown?

... and when the economy collapses, the government can turn around and say that we didn't listen to their instructions.

It's brilliant, in a Machiavellian kind of way.

Exactly.

I don't understand:
Nightclubs - why do they become dangerous in September? Visiting one now is ok, but 2 jabs needed (with proof) in September. Is that when the new variant is scheduled for release? (trying my hand at conspiracy thinking).

Your mistake Seeker, I believe, is the expectation of logical, ordered, and science led thinking from the current Wastemonster administration.
