I can see why people might be annoyed around it but part of me just doesn't understand the whole hoo-ha around Christmas. I know it's slightly different because of the scale of it but we've seen we can do events differently and in a safe way (e.g. VE Day Celebrations and Easter), we the British can adapt to anything and I'm sure we'll be able to the same for both the Christmas and New Year period 

I personally couldn't care less about Christmas and we have small gatherings anyway, but I don't think you can really compare to VE Day and Easter as the weather was very much on our side then. Can't see many people doing outdoor Christmas stuff.

He said bird flu could kill 150m.

The clue there is 'could'.

Modelling results are based on specific data given by others about the supposed characteristics of the infection, and where it's being done on new infections which by definition have limited data to work from.

And even if he got something spot on we'd likely never know, because of the interventions made to mitigate things.

In short, there's as much wrong in your understanding of what he's attempted as there is in his results.

It's surely better that interlectual predictions are attempted than the next best of a guess based on nothing at all.

I'm out having a substantial meal in a place that happens to be showing the football and the, err, restaurant owner says they had 15 police officers in here yesterday checking people had bought a burger, 2 of them were armed!

It's empty today, just me in here.

That's the trouble...and I'm sure in next year or so when economy is screwed people will argue lockdown wasn't worth it as numbers dead wasn't as bad as some predicted.

It would be a peaceful socialist utopia....and Jezza would definitely have sent the virus packing.

Actually in the labour manifesto was another brexit referendum...I wonder how that would have gone in the middle of this pandemic.
