It's here, we can't wipe it out, the only way is to develop immunity.  It has been alleged that it was developed in a Chinese lab to test a vaccine and escaped because a scientist infected with it ran away.  If it is not allowed to spread now then it will just pop right back up when we least expect it, it is simply common sense.

Boris has u-turned on all that now though. 24 hours after talking about timing, herd immunity and not forgetting insulting Scottish public services.. he follows the Scottish Govts actions. 

Clueless and out of his depth sadly.

The written word has a habit of coming back and biting people.

Sturgeon will act in the interests of Scots. Johnson will act in the interests of his corporate friends. 

The Scottish and rich people. The only two groups represented on the British Isles.

Still time to leave. The UK isn't in lockdown yet.

Sounds suspiciously like an idea that exists only in your head.

It's ok.

Although herd immunity was the policy yesterday, Matt Hancock today declared it's not the policy anymore today.

Completely out of their depth.

No surprise with a Goverment and Cabinet selected based on brexity-ness rather than competence.

Labour seem somewhat devoid of meaningfull contribution. Other than continuing to snipe.

That sounds pretty much true of contributors here set upon complaining when they really ought to be extremely grateful that the country they choose to live in is  by comparison at this moment in time doing very well.
Had our position at this time been that of say Italy or even France or Spain, the questioning of competence might have had some bearing but in the face of what is happening all around us it is pure nonsense.

Interestingly both Scotland and Wales are seeing more infections per population than England & NI.
Scotland is at 2.8 infections/100,000 people & wales is at 3 infections/100,000 according to Sky, while England is on 1.7 & NI on 1.8.
As I'm sure even the detractors can understand, the worst infection rate in Britain still amounts to a recorded infection rate of three-hundredths of one percent.

The coronavirus reponse is English people getting exactly what they voted for. The Tories stuck two fingers up at people dying in Grenfell, and they're giving the same two fingers to people dying of coronavirus now. 

I feel sorry for the over 70s who didn't vote Tory who are being told now to stay inside for the next year and try not to die. There won't be enough beds, ventilators, carers, doctors, nurses, or social carers - but we got Brexit done. Except actually detaching is delayed again now because we currently couldn't cope with two parallel disasters.

You do spout a load of nonsense.  On a thread that means nothing to you.

The SNP has written to Michel Gove telling him that they wii not be holding their illegal independence referendum this year. Good of them to confirm that they will not be breaking the law.

Corbyn seems to have been making lots of good suggestions and has set up some kind of task force in his constituency to help people locally. He's also been giving the standing government a well deserved hard time for their bizarre decisions (or lack of).

He was also proposing all sorts of things that would make handling Covid-19 easier - essentially the entire Labour manifesto.

Universal broadbands looking like a pretty good idea now we're potentially talking about home-schooling all students for the rest of the year, eh?

Noone has tested the legal basis of whether they can or not, so it's premature to suggest it would be breaking the law.
