Lockdown Lite

[NigelJK]

There was this, which appears to be repeating itself in Manchester

Also I saw an NAO statistic that 40%+ ICU beds were unoccupied, but can't locate ATM.

Drugs related so carry on stabbing each other!

I think there's been an increase in shootings.

Socially distanced murder....

Just wait until they get a .50 cal Barret.

Knife crime in the capital, which has been despite the continual crisis of Dick’s commissionership since 2017, is down by more than 50%, and stab wounds among people under 25 have fallen by 69%. Across the UK, police have reported huge falls in crime.

FTFY

There are currently 1000s of ITU beds unoccupied.

Care to provide your source for that claim?

Given that the NHS England reports they had 4,125 adult critical care beds in total in October 2019, I'd like to see who is saying there are thousands of them unoccupied. (source: NHS Monthly SitRep Timeseries February 2020 all HTC)
I chose October as it was the highest level since February 2019 (when it was 4,157). Over the last 10 years, the average is 3,920 adult critical care beds.

Going back to original statements from HMG the purpose of lockdown is not to protect the vanishingly small %age that might die from it. It is to stop the NHS from being overrun (in the NHSs estimation) so they wanted to slow the spread until the numbers worked. There are currently 1000s of ITU beds unoccupied.

There was never a lockdown - 40% of private transport was running ffs, 40%!

So now Italy gets 500 cases per day and we get 3-4k., yet schools about to get open - total madness
