And looking at the pictures they seem to be teenagers and early 20s going on to loot supermarkets so is it really anti covid or just restless young people who think they are immune?

Of course some factors were outside Govt control.What clearly wasn't outside their control was the decision of when to impose lockdowns. We did it late in March, not at all in September and late in January. That is by some long distance the reason why we have the fourth worst death rate in the world. There is simply no arguing with that. It is clear and definitive from the data on when deaths happened. And none of this is hindsight. It was all predicted in advance, while Govt was delaying the inevitable.
As suspected, Johnson announces desire to open schools on March 8 when the 4 most vulnerable groups have been vaccinated.He didn't say if school staff would be inoculated by that date. For me that should be a minimum before schools open fully again.

For me that should be a minimum before schools open fully again. I see labour have called for this. It's follow the science followed by don't follow the science.Fact is we can't all get a vaccine quickly and we should protect the most vulnerable like we do with other vaccines.
