We see that deaths are v low & hospitalisations v short duration & low relatively. whitty admits they’re low. But reverts to modeling & pressure on NHS. You shd be planning for winter NHS now not obsessing Covid. Variants irrelevant #OpenForAll#backtonormal
While PM says autumn means more respiratory illnesses Whitty point that these last 4 weeks necessary does not mention seasonality. This respiratory condition vulnerable vaccinated. There IS ideal date it’s passed but shd be fully open 19th NOT SLOWLY #OpenForAll#backtonormal
There are SO many problems with ‘encouraging’ Health Apps for clubs & venues. Local Authorities will use this to impose measures in various ways. This can become default. Cowardly unnecessary & wrong! #openforall
PN says “hopes it will be irreversible” but needs be cautious This v wrong message Lockdowns should never be used Cause immense damage across society We had pandemic strategy We shd say never again esp for autumn & winter! #NoMoreLockdowns#openforall#NoVaccinePassportsAnywhere
Some don’t want to encourage personal responsibility Ben pushing re imposing rather than easing? PM for gods sake just say what we know; they’re unnecessary. We saw this at footie & Wimbledon. Ppl will vote wirh feet but divides nation as some so scared due fear PR #OpenForAll
Ah. Now we have it of course Mr Vallance - we want all the young people to come forward. Why now? Protecting vulnerable & many more done. Spend time resource & energy on 13 million awaiting treatment #OpenForAll#backtonormal
Should we avoid going to nightclubs & going out? Times
“We shd get people to think carefully & don’t rip pants out of it/ be demob happy/ no julilee”?!
What we need vigilance for is not Covid but restricting our way of life! #OpenForAll#backtonormal
Whitty : “avoid unnecessary meetings”
WHAT??
We need to avoid unnecessary models & advice
Summer get out have fun be together dance hug kiss
London roads are gridlocked, partly because of so many more LTN's which majority opposed & we need a comprehensive national addressing of Transport (& housing)
Restricting & stopping people driving using coercive measures is unacceptable
It’s not of course that there should not be work to isolate & handle disease / viruses. It’s how this is being presented in press & society. While many funny memes: THATS true re COVID (remember bottles of weak beer memes) - so it’s about making sure calm
Stay vigilant
Boris when saying he would not rule out future lockdowns said could be new variants / things risk young people
Lockdowns have damaged so much (see Article ref too) & smallpox was dealt with/ now this low risk is being hyped. Same weekend WEF & Nxt wk WHO express.co.uk/news/science/1…
“I don’t believe (Zahawi) believes a word of what he’s just uttered because I remember him very persuasively stating my position which we shared at the time that this measure would be discriminatory & yet he’s sent to the despatch box to defend the indefensible @William_Wragg
It's utter rubbish. Indeed
& rubbish needs to be thrown in the dustbin
That's what needed on this policy: the dustbin of history
Headlines Scream Vacc Passports WILL be compulsory pubs BUT
“A Downing Street source told The Times “In autumn vaccine passports COULD become an important tool that will allow us to keep things open” #openforall
“although so-called vaccine passports would not be mandated now it did not rule out the prospect if England faces 'a difficult situation in autumn or winter'
