So the suggestion to make it possible for the world to go and be super spreaders at Christmas is to stay in lockdown until Christmas, then open up for five days, then go back into lockdown for another 25 days (at least), five days for every day we’re out of lockdown.
Are people really that desperate to have a get together they could have at any other time of the year, maybe in the summer when this pandemic is under control, that they’re willing to spend months in lockdown to achieve it? Really?
My personal opinion is that it is our duty as a society to have a low key Christmas regardless of whether they take this ridiculous measure or not.
I understand that for some they want to see family at Christmas, but these ridiculous suggestions have gone too far.
Just cancel Christmas and give us an extra bank holiday next year to make up for it.
