I think that in times of crisis we need a crisis government

I doubt the Tories would welcome that; if more parties were involved then the spoils may need to be shared, instead of just going to themselves and their cronies

It’s also because you can’t get vaccinated until at least a month after you have had Covid. A lot of that age group caught covid just before they were due to be jabbed

None of the previous excessive predictions of deaths and overwhelm have come true historically, I doubt the will now.

The field hospitals built a great expense were left empty. With contractors filling their pockets with millions of tax payers money.

Yet again, absolute panic from all of the UK governments based on no actual scientific reasoning, just morbid modelling of what could be.

The bill has not arrived for the last lockdown, why not chuck on some desserts and a few bottles of wine as well eh? It's only money anyhow.

@MySaladDaysAreGone

Or maybe we suck it up and pay more tax for a fit for purpose health service?
There is absolutely NO point in pouring more money into a leaky bucket. The NHS could be much better run on the money it is given.

I’m sure I just heard only 40something% of 12-18 year olds are vaccinated. That’s really shocked me. They need to get that figure up
Many have already been infected.

Why? Children aren’t overwhelming hospitals. Most of them have had the virus. Two doses of the vaccine provides ~30% of protection against omicron infection. What do you think it’s going to achieve?

It’s 12 weeks for young people now.

Most under 16’s haven’t had the virus here.
