When are the government going to have the balls to put some serious measures in place to save lives?

Tomorrow I reckon.

It's more about case numbers rising and people having to isolate, do you think the government should remove isolation periods for people who have tested positive?

Yep it’s this.

Johnson is trying to brazen this out. It won’t last past Tuesday.

Yes.

In london, people already staying home...centre was very quiet on weds and thursday....local shops quiet....i expect the westfield mall is chocco and security cant seem to enforce any mask rules there ...ever...!!...guess they are scared of a full on riot by the mostly teen customers.

They need to scrap the isolation period - problem well on the way to being solved.

Unless people have decided not to test in the run up to Christmas, there are early signs that it's leveling off

I am not a conspiracy theorist nor anti vax but I believe this virus is mild and covid is nearing its end. From listening to various scientific/medical people who are of this view.
