If masks and some distancing mitigates against local spread, is that a worthy price to pay for freely coming and going? Yes I agree. IMO - We should open up but accept some small common sense compromises as they do in the UK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot even begin to get my head around peoples thought process on this given the recent figures.

Flu deaths have basically been equal or greater than COVId since 9th April The stats would suggest that we're all more at risk of death from flu and pneumonia than COVID. I sincerely hope that the EAG are looking at these numbers because if not then we won't be opening up until this time next year.
