We gave an incredibly high student population for the size the city, so I'm not surprised we have the highest infection rate in the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced, I think if it were to happen again people would abide by it. Maybe a small number may riot but overall for another lockdown to happen under this government the numbers would have to be eye watering (and too late by then) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’ll push through because they are too useless to even think about managing the fall out. I’d love to see a summary of cases in the “safe” universities (as Boris declared after about 5 minutes of them being open). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted October 13, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 13, 2020 Follow the science, or don't follow the science. Stay alert. Save Wetherspoons. Covid: Sage scientists called for short lockdown weeks ago: Quote The government's scientific advisers called for a short lockdown in England to halt the spread of Covid-19 last month, newly released documents show. The experts said an immediate "circuit breaker" was the best way to control cases, at a meeting on 21 September. Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick insisted the government had taken "robust action" that "balanced" the impact on the economy. But Labour has described the documents as "alarming". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy Lifeboats Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Some of the planning going on for January 2021 is really scary. Its based upon a prediction of a massive spike caused by people who would normally follow the rules deciding to have a normal family Christmas at the end of an awful year. This isn't going to be quick and it isn't going to be painless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't going to be quick and it isn't going to be painless. And then there's the brexit ****. I think it'd be advisable to have at least a couple of weeks of food in the cupboard and freezer, because I'm expecting it to be panic buying galore in the new year when reality hits. I've not gone crazy, but I've got enough pasta, rice, tins and frozen fruit/veg that I can avoid going to the shops for a month or so if needed. I don't think the shelves are going to run completely empty or anything, but once we start seeing videos of thousands of lorries queueing up, I think supermarkets will be a shitshow.
