Re: Covid Unlocked
I've been watching Dr John Lee.
While he indeed gives us a lot to think about there's an awful lot of supposition involved together with a fair bit that isn't either strictly-speaking correct or completely accurate.
I think that the truth (if there is any such thing as far is this pandemic is concerned) is somewhere in the between the opinionizing of Dr Lee and of the actions of different governments around the world.
IMHO the most obvious difference is that governments with their politicians are more vulnerable to being blamed for errors when their actions are seen as insufficient and having their careers destroyed than a retired doctor is.
Look at the ongoing attempts by some in these very forums to blame Boris for the number of UK covid-related deaths for example.
But some of it is as I said very worthy of consideration, one example being the wearing of facial coverings which I myself questioned long ago.
No matter what anybody's opinions are surrounding how the pandemic has been handled the one thing which we here in the UK should be extremely grateful for is that the risk of infection and death has declined significantly, so we are all a little bit more safe than we were just a short time ago.
Whether or not it will stay that way only time will tell, just as only time will tell whether or not vaccination alone is enough to prevent a resurgence in infection and fatality rates.
