It's not pathetic Steve, let's be real here. There has to be control or a very likely 3rd wave. This current situation is far better than a total lockdown yet again. 

 

It is pathetic. Over exaggerated cough that you're far more likely to recover from than die. 

Yet people want to ruin busineeses over it. Anyone would think we live in Gaza the way No.10 are going on.

Of course it’s pathetic. The criteria they used before to justify was an increase in infections x increase in hospital admissions x increase in deaths. What we currently have is less than half a person with Covid per hospital, yesterday we had 5 deaths, just a few weeks ago we had days with no deaths. Therefore there is not even a hint of a 3rd wave. The vaccine is protecting those who are vulnerable, 

Covid is currently the 9th biggest killer in the UK, yes 9th.  There is no science that backs up the need to extend these ridiculous restrictions. 
There should never be a need for another lockdown ever again, however I’m sure the government will justify it somehow. Winter will always see an increase in deaths from viruses. The flu kills thousands every year. Do we lockdown or wear masks for those?

People going abroad will bring new variants back to the UK. So yet again more threats of a new outbreak. It will never end.

Even Boris said ‘at some stage we will have to learn to live with it’. That time is now. Or when do we wait till?

infections will stay higher the more people socialise, that is completely NORMAL. So long as hospital don’t see an increase and deaths increase again then this is all perfectly normal. 
So yes, this extension is totally pathetic, backed up by no science whatsoever. 

I work for the NHS.let me tell you that this is not pathetic.it is done justifiably for a reason.try saying that this is pathetic to the families of thousands who have lost loved ones.

....except it gives the opportunity for a further 9 million vaccinations!!  However I don't see why those vaccs couldn.t be done anyway if step 4 was adhered to?

It seems that Boris & Co. are following Humph's example of using % increases to amplify their figures. One of the slides shown had a starting figure of 3 per 100,000. the next figure was 5, so it transposed as a 66% rise!

There seems to be a variance to the size of crowd that clubs have been allowed.

Glasgow seemingly can only have 250.... others much more

Is this the council interpreting the rules their own way ?

It is unfortunate that thousands of people have died,many of these have died with covid though instead of from covid.The stats worry so many people but it is very misleading as usual from the Government.There are many,many more people dying from other illnesses now as a result of all of this.Plus the more people that are suffering from mental illnesses as a result of these lockdowns.My heart op was delayed by 7 months,how many more people have had ops delayed and may have died as a result of this.

Complete nonsense. If you do actually work for the NHS, you would know that the majority of patients in hospital WITH covid were admitted for an unrelated condition and are not even being treated for covid.

Yes I do actually work for them,do you?

Over exaggerated cough that No.10 is prepared to ruin businesses over.

UK Cases - 4.57 Million

UK Deaths - 128,000

As I said earlier far far far more likely to recover than die from yet people are prepared to support businesses going under for this rubbish. 

Country needs to grow a set and go back to normal again rather than running scared of the sniffles.

What on earth are you on about? Have you actually read what I said? My point was nothing at all to do with the NHS other than quoting facts about current hospital admissions.

There is absolutely no ‘justice’ to the current extension of the lockdown. None whatsoever. If you work for the NHS you will know where to find the stats on admissions. Less than half a person is currently in hospitals with Covid. Hardly anyone is dying from the virus anymore, deaths remain in single figures daily.  Those stats alone do not justify an extension of this ridiculous lockdown rules.

Boris himself even said we need to learn to live with the virus, that time is now - backed by data.

The NHS is not under pressure from Covid at all right now.

Have worked for the NHS for many years, what’s your point? The data is available for all to see. The NHS isn’t under pressure from covid right now.
