vikingTON Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/02/britain-got-it-wrong-on-covid-long-lockdown-did-more-harm-than-good-says-scientist Quote “We did serious harm to our children and young adults who were robbed of their education, jobs and normal existence, as well as suffering damage to their future prospects, while they were left to inherit a record-breaking mountain of public debt,” he argues. “All this to protect the NHS from a disease that is a far, far greater threat to the elderly, frail and infirm than to the young and healthy. “We were mesmerised by the once-in-a-century scale of the emergency and succeeded only in making a crisis even worse. In short, we panicked. This was an epidemic crying out for a precision public health approach and it got the opposite.” Indeed, but there's one very important question that Professor Mark Woolhouse fails to address. Why the f**k are you only stating this now; what the f**k were you doing 12 months ago, when the UK went into yet another ruinous lockdown? This aftertiming of perfectly obvious facts of the pandemic from a scientist who could actually have shaped government policy and smacked down the Gurdasani brigade is absolutely risible. His silence at the time amounts to culpability along with the rest of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can, of course, read what you want to read into anything, but the more of this kind of thing I see, the more I feel the UK Gov are getting the message out that lockdowns aren't happening, restrictions aren't happening, and personal responsibility for managing risk is now their position. The sooner the SG get on board with that the better. Well done on getting the vaccines rattled out, but get on with getting restrictions punted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a secret as they publish these stats. But this... Analysis is ongoing to determine which hospital patients are being treated for a Covid-related illness and which patients have tested positive but do not have symptoms. Takes the piss. How long does that take? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have thought they’d have other priorities at 11pm on Hogmanay than demanding to see licence details from pubs (especially when we’re being told they’re hugely short staffed). They’ve effectively managed to turn a harmless event into a full police incident with probably 20+ police present going by the video. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we are limiting football crowds to allow them to concentrate on core policing duties, though, like tackling dancing and ordering drinks at a bar. 6 vans to an incident they could easily have turned a blind eye to / gently have reminded the patrons on the current rules and fucked off seems like a great use of supposedly stretched thin resources.

Woolhouse has been one of the good guys through this and had a fairly level headed view, even though in the very early days he did say that facemasks and social distancing would possibly have to remain in place for decades. I think he reneged on that standpoint pretty quickly though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real life consequences of the ridiculous rules. Whilst a huge number of people will have binned off gathering at a bar due to it being illegal to enjoy yourself and gone and gathered at house parties, the police are causing a rammy over a few folk dancing on Hogmanay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
