Local lockdown

[NotAllThere]

Nobody is blaming or persecuting minorities for the pandemic. However, the behaviour of various minorities are different and there is a language problem and communication issues that makes the situation worse. And yes I have personal experience of the same.

I guess it's the same blame and persecution that happened with those grooming gangs of Rotherham etc.

How long do you reckon it would take to disprove that assertion, using Google?

You mean the ones sent to prison?

Definitely not playing with a full deck today are you? Been on the cough syrup?

I suspect it's the one with the letters c, u, t and n in it's official name...

Only if I say so

There was no lockdown in this country - 40% of transports was on the road at all times, that’s why infection rates are in 1000 region now, not 100.

Lockdown (10 out of 10) was in China, a very mild version (5 out of 10) of it was in Italy, Spain and France and UK was at best 3 out of 10 on the Official ATW Pandemic Lockdown Scale.

Misleading statistics. Most cars were parked near home but even a short trip to the shops rather than a sixty mile journey to work would be counted. The first four weeks of lock down the road were very quite and the car parks empty. Birmingham may have been different however, Birmingham happens to be another hot-spot for the virus.

Trigger warning, Daily Mail link but finally reports have asked the local leaders what their thoughts on the reason for the spike is.

So why do leaders think they are going to listen this time around?

In a month or two we’ll have bars closed again - even before normal flu season strikes, which in the past was enough to stress NHS, this year it will be Covid enhanced

It's more than that. How are they going to tell who is Covid and who is not Covid during the seasonal cold / flu outbreak? Easy at the moment.
