Parents at the school my Mrs teaches have have been creating their own key worker letters with a government letterhead so their kids can go to school.

Quite a large percentage of people are working around the edges of this lockdown, it is not as strict as last year.

It's not a proper lockdown like last time. Walked down St Peter's Ave today and there were more shops open than closed. Trouble is, it's not being labelled as a lockdown, it's become tier 5 and all the mixed messaging is confusing people.

Today's infection rate and death toll is staggering, while the Government just seem to get more and more clueless as time goes on. They ought to be held to account but I doubt they will be. They couldn't have made more of a pig's ear of this if they'd tried.

The latest figures are dire. They make it much harder for people to say it is a conspiracy and Covid just like the flu.  I wonder sometimes why we bothered fighting and winning 2 world wars.  Freedom of speech looks very overrated.

Item on the BBC tonight that this country is gong to start insisting that all UK arrivals by air will need a Covid-free test within 3 days of travelling.  Other countries have had similar checks for a long time.

Better late than never. The horse has bolted, had a full life and been to the knackers yard.

I agree apart from Trump has made a worse job but Boris comes a close second.

1,325 Covid related deaths today in the UK

Adjust per head, convert to dollars, carry the 7, and a comparable daily death rate in the US would be over 6,600 per day.

Even in the last vestiges of Trump’s regime, with all the problems with the handover of power, the US is ‘only’ at just over 4,000 deaths per day.

Look at the G20. Other than US citizens, we are one of the most poorly educated, stupid countries in the G20. Boris and his cabinet are well aware of the fact the average Briton is an idiot.

Why isn’t the messaging clearer, stronger and stricter?

It's quite embarrassing seeing people's behaviour.
Can't seem to use common sense when social distancing,unable to wear a mask correctly & can't follow simple instructions like sanitising your hands regularly.
Put this together with the ridiculous theories of 5g,it doesn't exist,
hospitals are empty & it's no worse than flu & we get the situation at the moment.

Not true I'm afraid. Deaths per capita are higher in the UK than the USA,

It’s almost like The Donald has tried to kill as many of his patriots as possible, and as usual, failed.

Then, in the blue corner, weighing in at marginally less than he did 12 months ago, Boris made a (somewhat feeble) attempt to keep the death rate in the UK low, and has actually managed to outstrip Trump’s Covid death march
