Folks, before this gets too heated let's perhaps remember that this is how sensible people were at the start of the current restrictions: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-51994504 :thumbsdown:

The new slogan does sound weak. Perhaps Mr Johnson's address shortly will do something to rectify that, but until we know what he has said, let's not all fall out please.

Not even confident of that. Nothings changed here until the next review on 28th. Boris has lost the ear of the nation, it's the time for the devolved governments to speak up.

Wales have? Scotland definitely have, NI's FM/DFM have

What is the science behind the 2nd wave being more deadly than the first ?

mutations in the virus, and a case of depleted resources from what I gather.

the other thing about trusting the public’s common sense, I have seen insects with more social responsibility than some humans during this crisis.

the estate where I used to live, so many posting garden parties and drinking with other households on fb and Instagram it’s sickening.

when one of them posted about this being a sickness that targets poorer people, I said not when we have free healthcare, it targets unfortunates and stupid people who don’t respect social distancing.

Not just that but post peak objective complacency. Most mountaineering accidents happen on the way down. The summit / peak / objective was reach successfully so you relax / let your guard down on the descent as that wasn’t your objective and focus for so long. You have that accident.

So lockdown eases, many think great we’ve beat it, and relax bit by bit. The social distancing stops being practiced so much, the hand washing stops being practiced, we grow complacent about remaining measures. The virus is still out there but due to complacency it spreads far faster than the 1st phase, it climbs exponentially faster than first time round. By the time we realise it is too late, we already have far higher infections plus deaths to come. The second peak in deaths is far higher and sustained for longer.
