Britain is at a tipping point on COVID-19, health minister Matt Hancock said on Sunday, warning that a second national lockdown could be imposed if people don’t follow government rules designed to stop the spread of the virus.

COVID-19 cases have risen sharply in recent weeks to more than 4,000 per day. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has called it a second wave and stricter lockdown measures have been introduced in areas across the country — with London possibly next in line.

The UK should have been sealed up it's  borders in February.....

That's what the English Channel is for.....(saved us from the Nazi's)...

Could have stopped it dead....

As we have done here in Western Australia.....

One large local wave was caused by a single person, who failed to self-isolate and went on a pub-crawl instead.

With a government engaged in Brexit, the economy and overseas negotiations instead of disaster management, lockdowns and consistent messaging, not to mention a'holes like that, we stand no chance of stepping back from the brink.

We are not even sure where

                                               the

                                                cliff


                                                 is.


 

                                               (splat!)

They should put that person in jail.

Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts.

No arguments on that, KiwiMum.  He was a danger to public health; our own Typhoid Mary.

If find it odd that so many people think about

 "their rights"

And don't seem to give a damn about others.....

Maybe some are more human than others....

We all agree that no one should have the freedom to shoot, stab or poison someone else.    How is this any different?
