I was obviously eavesdropping from a distance so may have misheard bits of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be incredibly militant, and frankly pretty terrifying, when their jobs are threatened. Knowing someone who dealt with this from the management side, they had rats nailed to crosses with their name on them, effigies of them burned, management meetings were broken into where phones and laptops were taken and smashed with hammers and latterly colleagues had acid thrown in their faces. Eventually had ex-SAS security with them at all times and ridiculous action movie-esque decoy cars etc, due to the death threats. And this was shutting down something that was loss-making. Nuts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) The best thing about the polls are the seething comments from people who disagree with the poll and decide it must be nonsense because they were never asked. It is disheartening to be in the minority, granted, but it is what it is. Wonder if opinion will be the same as we approach Christmas and the case rate has shot up again...

Usually from people who are hindsight experts who think they are right and everyone else is wrong.I certainly would not want to be a political leader right now in any country - all over the world they are trying different things - yet almost all of them have increasing rates of infection.Rock and hard place comes to mind - the tough restrictions that might have an effect have really negative effects in terms of civil liberties, social and economic costs - so governments probably don't go as far as they could - and consequently restrictions are not implemented effectively.An effective vaccine is the only thing I think is going to make this tolerable in the long run. Everything else is about mitigating the worst effects of both the virus and the restrictions themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
