Yet now they are saying if we'd done it earlier it'd have been shorter, and easier to test, trace and isolate.

Instead we've got the second wave coming and Boris hasn't ruled out a second national lockdown. Indeed, he's already talking it up as a bold, drastic measure, a bit patriotic too like the nuclear deterrent.

I don't think we had the means to 'test, trace and isolate' at that stage though

l thought it was supposed to be world beating.;)

Re: Coronavirus
 

Indeed I agree, in March it was out of control which is why the emergency brake of a lockdown was needed. With exponential growth even a lockdown a week earlier, theoretically, would leave you chasing for 30% of the live cases give or take using a test, trace, isolate system at the end of an equal length lockdown.

If the virus goes out of control again then a second lockdown remains inevitable. Restrictions are coming back around the world, in US states and in Europe, where flare ups aren't brought under control by test, trace, isolate.

Certainly not good with it flaring up in some areas of the UK, but on the positive side of that (if there is a positive side), people where it hasn't flared up may heed the warnings and follow procedures better.

I count myself lucky not to live in one of the high density population centers of the UK, but it only takes a couple of 'errors of judgement' for it to happen anywhere :(

Well in my local the barmaid tested positive last week shortly after I'd been in for a pint so I have had the opposite luck!

I went to the cinema the other year to watch the 5th Wave. :angel:

Re: Coronavirus
 

How did you rate it against the others? There’s always a debate between whether the first or second is best in a series. Die Hard 1 and 2 I can’t pick between, 3 better than the remaining movies tho.

Not enough police for that.

I'm not sure if you are joking, or dont know what it is :erm:

Re: Coronavirus
 

I think he was being humorous, a little off the wall joke about the name of the film, coupled with the 'second wave' of Covid, and the belief that sometimes the second or third in a film series aren't as 'effective' as the first ;)

I do have a weird sense of humour though, so could be chuckling at a joke that isn't even there :D

Coronavirus: Spain added to England's quarantine list
How many people are going to get caught out by that?

Re: Coronavirus
 

I wonder if it includes the Canary Islands.
