The Official DOOM: Lockdown

[Paralytic]

Saw a quote recently: "‘If lockdowns work, why are we having another one? And if lockdowns don’t work, why are we having another one?"

Sounds neat but is rather glib and specious, because the obvious answer is that they (arguably) partly work.

Its not neat, glib nor specious - it's downright dumb and cretinous to think/suggest that having a lockdown should produce in a binary result.

"If seatbelts work, why do some people still die in car crashes?"

The point of lockdown seems to be to prevent everyone getting ill at the same time and overwhelming the NHS. Vaccines should calm that risk, but 10% nationally (much higher in London) are unvaccinated, which is why they're still quite worried. I think we'll have some form of lockdown starting in the first week of Jan, probably starting with a delay to schools opening.

I'd personally welcome another early year lockdown as long as they bring back the business support grants, based on RV of commercial property, like they did last year :-)

That will work.

Even police officers are pissed off with them.
