It's a joke. The family I know who came back to quarantine were not inspected even once. There aren't enough people to police this, so the quarantine has turned out to be totally voluntary.

As I've said all along, the virus will be out there until we get herd immunity. It is a very simple principle.

Age discrimination?

Me, too. The vulnerables should be advised to keep their heads down unless they want to live dangerously.

You have such a perverse way of looking at this.

The virus will not go away until herd immunity is achieved. Is that not what is happening right now?

The only bright spot was that mathematician's calculation that the virus would have reached the peak we had naturally even if we had not locked down. We will soon see if he was right.

Either way, lockdowns just put the inevitable on pause for as long as they are applied.

Some idiot suggested that a face mask causes a build up of CO2.


Despite the fact a NHS doctor wore a medical spec mask and a O2 reader and his levels did not move.
Scientists themselves say that the masks you can buy are not effective, so why require them to be worn unless you just want to give people a false sense of security?
