6 more months!

We could fully lockdown again from tomorrow until Feb or later and it would massively spike as soon as we open up again.

It's here...it isn't going away until we have a vaccine. A report said yesterday that only 1 in 10 will get the vaccination within the first year due to demand (I'm guessing it's key workers and elderly)

So what is the end game here? Just keep locking down every 2-3 months? It could be years before it's all but irradiated (if it's like a cold or flu then never).
 
"What we should be doing is having draconian measures in place at the borders "

This... and people bitch about the Conservatives and if Labour were in, it would be the same.. it is the same idiots who live in the UK, not those in power.. lock us down 100%

This is hardly a lockdown, pubs are shutting an hour early and football stadiums are closed. Even the first one wasnt exactly a real lockdown
 
Tracking and tracing is simply surveillance of people and their whereabouts. Not limitation of a virus.
It's used to limit further spread (isolation for contacts) and create a basis for decision making for more stringent controls, such as limited local lockdown. You can't be effective in that decision making if you don't have teh data, you can't decide who needs to isolate if you don't have the contacts.
 
Don't forget, we were told our tracing app will be released on Thursday so I would hope that will be part of Johnson's address tonight.
Of course, it may not be ready as promised or it might be delayed because it could increase the demand for testing and further knacker up Dido's failing project.

She's called Diana, I didn't buy into Alexander Johnsons pretentious PR image and I won't buy into Diana Hardings.
 
My brother must be sh*tting himself. He's spent a fortune on a big wedding and planned for 2 years. Only allowed 15 at a wedding with new rules.
 
A ‘world beating’ track and trace system was at the cornerstone of easing lockdown in July, without that it is just going to be a repeat of what has happened this time, early identification of those carrying the virus and quick isolation of those they have come in contact with should be the key to resuming normality without the need for wide spread limitations on the wider public, people need to take responsibility absolutely but an infrastructure to hang that on needs to be in place, it’s like trying to roof a house before building the walls.
 
Let’s be honest pubs, supermarkets made a token effort at following the rules initially, then quickly lapsed, then throw the reopening of schools into the mix and the zero enforcement of rules, totally predictable really but still only a half a***d approach now......closing pubs an hour early......really......ffs!!!!
 
I love, though, how they throw a timeframe in like '6 months' as though there's any reasoning behind it whatsover. It could be 6 months, 16 months, or 6 years for all they know. They haven't a clue, its just a bit of PR to try and assert that things are 'serious again' but that 'it won't be forever'. Its the length of time that they think sounds ok because it will take us through to the Spring again, as though the 1 year mark is somehow 'the end of this'. Its just a guessing game. They might as well just say 'society as you know it is fcuked, what happens next is anyone's guess'.
