Why the rush to re-open.17 Apr 2020 12:39
The possibility that we are kept in lockdown for another 2/3 months has put tremendous stress on parents, businesses and the Economy as a whole.Easily said and even easier to understand,but the other side of the picture isn`t great either.Politicians like it or not, are led by sentiment and yield to its power more often than not.
Lets see what could happen with planes returning to normal.Ships ,trains, cars and tubes ecetera.Open up all the pubs,cimemas, restaurant and places of relaxation. This is what a great many want and want now.My opinion which is long held it that we acted with too little and too late.Now in a nation more used to moving in comfort than pace we are expected to throw all caution to the wind and act with uncharacterised haste.The mortuaries could never hold the bodies and buy your own body bag shops would abound.
This is not an "I`m all right Jack",virus.The fact that lead lined coffins are being used is a clue.
But at a time when Gilead Sciences have had initially great success in treating cases where death was imminent and numerous others are on there tail to come up with an anti vital , to jump overboard without a life belt is completely stupid.Have you noticed scientists are now sliding "second wave" into their deliveries of "Facts".The reason for this is simple it has happened before with the Spanish(really Kansas) flu.It was more devastating than the first wave and took out a generation of young men in this Country alone.
Also as I have stated a vaccine by 3 multinationals are seen as being proven as protective vaccines within
a few months.I repeat you fight this virus to a draw no hosts no CV19, time must be given to allow the scientists to do their jobs.A school playgroung or large factory is just what this virus wants.Dont let a lack of patience, greed or worse a belief that it wont get me blind your judgment.
By September we can have this thing on the ropes and hopefully followed by a quick K.O.
We are well known for taking 5 days sitting for a draw in cricket so why push or kids back to school when in a few weeks they will be stopping for the summer recess anyway.
Cool thinking is required, machismo should be put back in the box.
Retreat to fight fully armed another day can win this one.
