This government has made the mistake of following the science. These scientist's want to maintain their moment of fame, so they keep changing their advice and the Cabinet appear to be under their spell. I believe it is time to put them back in their box close the lid and return to what was normal. Stop furlough payments ASAP get everybody who still has a job back to work and face the problem head on. An other spike can be handled by reviving the Nightingale hospitals to provide extra beds if needed and the rest of us can get on with our lives. There is less than 1% of the population that has died, the young and fit are very unlikely to be affected. I am 72 in October I have had and am enjoying a good life, but we need a strong economy to pay for the NHS and other public spending, and it is the younger people who will provide the means. Let them free to return to work and also enjoy themselves. I don't call sitting at home waiting for the grim reaper living. I will be playing golf 3/4 times a week and going to the pub. Life is for living, and I want to live it to the full. In 1968/9 we had a pandemic called Hong Kong flu there were about 30,000 deaths in the UK. I asked some friends about it and like me the couldn't at first remember it(none of us has dementia)
as no actions were taken to mitigate the effects, and it life just went on. Nobody bothered to asked the scientists.
