The chap with smoker's teeth in the imitation Barbour jacket. Some of those arguing against caution have an agenda. People who have previously selfishly argued against the travel restrictions on the basis of utterly unimportant family visits. 6 1 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! I have worked in public health since 1963 , not having a panic , just being prudent . I value the opinions of Dr Glover .

Self employed and need to be in peoples houses to lay my bills. If this gets out of hand I might not be able to do that for months and the "government support" last time was useless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Howie? Is he the one you are putting your trust in? The one who thinks a relative visiting and doing as much isolation and testing is required is a higher risk than a "key worker" who can wander down the street the day after they arrived? That one? OK then 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to recommend that we should follow our "leader " (Howie). The only reason for some of us to follow him would perhaps be idle curiosity?

The uk had borders open no quarantine etc. IF worst happens we lock down for a few weeks like in march. We wont be here 9 months later with cases out of control no need though at this time to lockdown when there are no community cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
