Except that he is still disregarding the scientific advice re schools going back ( a phased return is advised) .He talks about data not dates then releases a list of dates. And mainstream scientists are agreed that until he ‘gets’ it, a fourth lockdown may come as soon as June. He could also stop bumping elbows as if he believes the virus cannot travel that far up one’s arm.In truth though this should not be a party political issue. Can I recommend my weekly dose of sanity from Indie Sage’s regular friday meeting on Youtube at 1.30 or on the Indie Sage site where a group of eminent scientists offer a regular examination of the latest information, publish papers on things like how to keep schools open during the pandemic and finally take questions. They give their services for free because they believe it is important to keep the public informed and they explain clearly how we, too, could enjoy a Covid suppressed lifestyle, with the economy open and flourishing and, most importantly, a low Covid death rate., as in New Zealand, South Korea, Finland, Norway, Taiwan etc.It isn’t an either / or, it is linked.Take a look at the site. Watch last Friday’s meeting. If you haven’t yet discovered it you will feel much clearer about the whole situation and what we should be doing
