A short lockdown would be way less damaging than a longer lockdown as a result of a significant outbreak. FFS there’s no need for a lockdown, read the update from Howie etc and it’s clear we are following all protocols and this is no time to panic and lockdown to pander to a few a Karen’s Edited January 2, 2021 by Banker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbnuts Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) I agree no need currently for a lockdown but certainly a need for the type of precautions 1886 and others are showing . Pity CM. and his minions weren't as proactive . The press release just earlier should have happened first thing yesterday morning Edited January 2, 2021 by Numbnuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The press release just earlier should have happened first thing yesterday morning I think he was hanging on for results first otherwise it could have been different update but overall I thought the announcement was good and should stop more speculation. anyway I’m off to the pub before Pongo shuts them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the blue Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I dispise lockdowns, but equally I value the freedoms we have enjoyed since June. I consider a precautionary two week extension to the xmas holidays, on balance, to be a reasonable course of action based upon the scant information that I have to hand. It may be that our government have a good handle on this cluster and have it all in hand, in which case my concerns about an elongated and unnecessary lockdown over the next few months will be nullified. Banker, there are many types of people out there, some scared, some panicked, and some, like me who do not want another economically disastrous long term lockdown and as such would like to see a balanced and procative approach. I hope that it is what we get... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A woman who has worked in public health since 1991, or someone on Facebook having a panic. I know who I'd listen to! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
