When will this shit end?

[steviewevie]

javid must know that looking good for full(ish) reopening on 19th, and wants to earn as many political points as poss as will be popular in the country and amongst tory MPs which he might want for any future leadership bid. Tough times ahead though maybe, and might bite him in the bum over next 12 months if hospitals overstretched. Also, interesting that this cctv gets passed to The Sun just before Hancock can take any credit...dirty politics.

Indeed.  Especially one who has said he wants the pandemic to end as soon as possible by making his top priority giving the virus more opportunity to spread.

He seems to have missed the part where is gave Hancock his full support and told us all the matter was closed.

My sister has just messaged the family whatsapp saying Perth are going in to a 4 day lockdown over 3 positive cases of which 1 is the delta variant. She did also add that she hopes it kicks people up the arse over there to get vaccinated as they are all moaning about having to be jabbed!

[MEGABOWL]

The use of ‘irreversible’ seems naive in the extreme. 
 

“should I say that? Could that come back to bite me on the arse? No. Can’t think of any potential problems there at all”

Wonder if this "spokesperson" who said that about full support was actually briefing against the PM to undermine him? It honestly sounds like backstabbing chaos in there so I'd be surprised if the whole of number 10 is on the same page

Next doors kid is isolating because of ONE confirmed case in his class - whole class sent home.

Another 10 days worth of education lost.  Poor lad is in the garden clearly bored to tears.

Shitshow

I don’t understand why the others in the class can’t just show two negative tests 72 hours apart, rather than just blanket isolating them all. It’s just not a sustainable approach, although neither is letting them back into class without testing. 
What if they go back after 10 days and then another kid tests positive the following day, is it back to another 10 day isolation? (This did actually happen in January with my little one in nursery!)

Hahaha, I know the political collective memory of the public is embarrassingly short but does he really think we all forgot?

This happened with a teacher at my work, she went off isolating after contact with a staff member, returned and then had a positive case in her class and had to go off, as you say it isn’t sustainable and can really impact badly on people’s mental health to be locked up for that long

It’s crazy isn’t it. And it’s only going to get worse if/when we open up and let cases run rife.
Obviously not saying we shouldn’t open things back up, but there needs to be drastic rethink in terms of contact tracing/isolation etc.

I think it should be only isolating if you are double dosed but have symptoms or the option of daily testing or something similar

There’s definitely cases rising in the north. I’m seeing multiple posts about peoples kids school bubbles bursting and offices having to revert back to home working again.

A casual 22868 cases in the UK yesterday...

*caveat that yesterday's cases were under-reported but still.

Three deaths is low even for a traditionally-low Monday. Very encouraging.

Yep - the real winner here! Although you just know that the news headlines are going to focus on the 20k+ cases and barely mention the very low, and actually a fall in deaths.
