Given the economic damage that had been done we may yet be all encouraged to spend, spend, spend- you can imagine the sort of advertising "it's been a hard, tough year so why not enjoy yourself? It's Christmas after all" etc. Me? I can never be bothered with Christmas but I might boost the economy by buying some new tinsel for the tree What's actually going to be saved here though? It certainly won't be high street shops as people are not going to lollop back outside during a pandemic in the middle of winter just to get presents: they'll order everything online instead. The hospitality sector is already decimated and the current two household/rule of six nonsense already puts the kibosh on their main function over the Christmas period unless it is lifted. Short of a vaccine somehow widely circulating in time or a relaxation of policy, that's all baked in now. This is just a government spin line to justify yet more whack a mole, nonsense restrictions (10pm closures FFS) that will make negligible difference but handily deflect the blame away from the clownshoe figures in government. The only thing possibly being 'saved' here is the ability to visit your extended family without @philpy grassing on you, which has no economic value and IMHO wouldn't actually be policed by the public anyway. When it comes to Christmas Day itself nobody is going to give a flying f**k whether five or nine people are in the house next door.

Aufc Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Uh huh, which renders your reference to March-June as evidence that blended learning doesn't work completely moronic, seeing as this strategy was not implemented anywhere before the summer because classroom teaching was completely scrapped. The choice then was between home learning or f**k all. The choice now however includes a perfectly reasonable middle ground - not to mention a probably much better learning strategy than your beloved 'stick them in schools all day long' stance. One which is already deemed good enough for the education of the country's college and university students to follow and so should be applied to the country's school children as well. It's safe to say that you've had an absolute disaster then.Surely you realise its slightly different between a bunch of 7-8 year olds being taught by their maws and dads and grown up 18-21 year olds doing some online learning at home? That is before you even look at the fact that it would result in a lot of children being left behind by virtue of not having a stable household in which to do the home learning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scosha Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Is Hancock referring to the UK in this or England for national lockdown? I know our cases are also on the rise but he specifically mentions due to a rise in hospital numbers, something that’s still really low in Scotland relatively. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Surely a second national lockdown isn't an option? The first one did its job in preventing the NHS being "overwhelmed" but what would be the end goal of another lockdown? To trash the economy further? To cause more job losses? To tip some people's mental health over the edge? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d have to assume the goal would be to reduce infection and thus protect the NHS etc etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
