Crazy.

I only need to comment on the selected sentence to show where I stand in the totality of your argument, OB.

The lock down at large has little if not nothing to do with care homes. The care homes are more or less a set of separate lock downs. But that's not the issue.

Germany is reporting an increase in the R value due to relaxation of their lock down. The inverse of this is that the lock down controls spread of the disease. What the end game will be is another matter. I suspect that the Guvmin is hedging a bet on the vaccines that are being trialled.

Eventually, people will have to be let out and rules to minimise adverse consequences will be necessary. That would be a useful debate topic.
