Boris Johnson on lockdown easing: Progress must be 'cautious but irreversible'

Starmer is not always right either, like when he supported the government in it's resistance to school closures until too late.

But he is not in power. All the failures of implementation and omission are down to Spaffwaffle and his mostly hopeless government.

But then again, whilst I can explain that to you, I cannot understand it for you.

Having seen the damage this has done to families and children, (my own kids and grandchildren) the schools should have remained open to all. Remember the schools ARE open, but only to a particular sector of society, called "key workers". The others can put up with it and their kids will get behind. How having 50% of kids at school is justified, I don't know.
Get them all back in next Monday. They don't get the disease and there is no evidence of asymptomatic spread.

And sir Starmer has all the answers does he? From his lofty perch on the fence. Sorry, not on the fence, he is the fence.

Well I suppose it makes a change from incautious and inevitably reversed when too many die in the name of freedom for the selfish.

Actually, Boris seems to be making a point of not getting tied down to a specific date. Nor, despite their alleged expertise, do any of the scientists on either side of the debate. The tendency is to lay on the gloom so as not to be caught out if this bug does take a turn for the worse. My own belief is that this kerfuffle will be over by May/June, but I am not putting my coal allowance on it again

As has been mentioned it will be all systems go in May . The free money stops at the end of April , Richie Rich will do the numbers and think crap I overdid  that and everyone will be back on the treadmill . (In facemasks )

Boris has magic dates and figures, for example he cannot open schools after half term, 8th March is the magic date in England.

Then there's apparently the magic figure of 1,000 infections or less a day, which, if those people are not ill, is pretty much irrelevant.

I don't believe a word Boris says, he is being taken for a fool by SAGE who don't give a fig for the mental health or physical health of those in lockdown. There are other illnesses than this Chinese virus.
