Yeah, scary thing voting. 🤪

Maybe send all the kids onto cruise ships until May?

Not everyone has internet.

People need food

I expect the kids will go back tomorrow but there will be another U turn once the Christmas Covid victims start turning up at hospital next week.

Moaning about news being biased and posting a link from the Daily Mail. Brilliant!

How about a million people privately funding vaccines for the most vulnerable?

This. Because of the time lag I expect the graph of positive results is only just starting to show the effects of the Xmas super-spreader event. I think hospital admissions follow by about two weeks, then the inevitable jump in deaths after that.

So your hero PM makes more U turns than an Italian tank battalion and tells a lie every twenty seconds, yet you pick up on some nobody MP.

Probably be the same as lockdown one.

Not sure you can ask sick people to drive all the way to the coast, especially as lockdown hero Cummings proved, Covid effects your eyesight. It’s going to have to be coaches. Just need to find 800 coach drivers, along with the thousands of Cruise ship crew willing to commit Covid suicide then we can start worrying about the complexities of having thousands of people infected with a potentially deadly disease stuck out in the English Channel.

Over 40,000 positive tests today, assuming their families will also need to isolate you are probably looking at easily over 100,000 people to remove from their homes, transport from all over the UK and somehow get on board your cruise liners today. Consider the Queen Mary has a usual capacity of around 2,600, what’s your plan?

From what I have read older secondary school kids should be treated as adults when I comes to this virus, it looks like young kids carry it but don’t transmit it but where older kids are physically more like adults they spread it more. I wouldn’t want to be in a room with 30 teenagers.

This, he has been an excellent signing.

Fuck me you are hard work. Ok the main reason it spreads so much. Either way my point is correct about your cruise ship idea being complete nonsense. Typical of a Brexit jihadi like you to come up with an idea that would just be a pointless waste of money.

I said it was the reason it spread SO MUCH not the only reason it spreads which is pretty much what the professor in that link said. Anyway, back to your cruise ship idea.

It’s most infectious when you have symptoms but it begins to peak the day before. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-54648684 It behaves like a 'hit and run' killer The amount of virus in our body begins to peak the day before we begin to get sick. But it takes at least a week before Covid progresses to the point where people need hospital treatment. "This is a really brilliant evolutionary tactic - you don't go to bed, you go out and have a good time," says Prof Lehner. So the virus is like a dangerous driver fleeing the scene - the virus has moved on to the next victim long before we either recover or die. In stark terms, "the virus doesn't care" if you die, says Prof Lehner, "this is a hit and run virus". This is a massive contrast with the original Sars-coronavirus, back in 2002. It was most infectious days after people became ill, so they were easy to isolate.” I can see why you think Brexit is a good idea, you seem to have a problem understanding details and reality. You only understand concepts that can be drawn up in crayons and primary colours. Maybe you should come up with a catchy three word slogan to get the public to buy onto your brilliant Cruise Ship idea, SHIP COVID OUT?

No because with this disease you are highly infectious just before you get symptoms so with a decent track and trace system you can track people you have previously been in touch with. It’s not rocket science.

The whole idea is fucked. The whole reason this disease spreads so much is the fact that people without symptoms spread it and those that get symptoms spread it before they have symptoms. I expect the amount of people who have symptoms, then went to get tested and still carry on spreading it is tiny - making your bizarre ship idea pointless. If having a positive test means you get sent to a ship full of Covid ridden people for two weeks then no one would go to get tested, certainly not the type of people who would otherwise just carry on as normal if they had symptoms. Also, me and my other half have both worked from home throughout the pandemic, even when we had symptoms. Under your cunning plan we would have to stop working for two weeks, so on top of the cost of the ship and two weeks food and upkeep for our family there would also have to be some sort of compensation for two weeks lost earnings. If we just stayed at home and isolated there would be zero cost. Cracking idea.

Cruise ships So let me get this straight. I have just tested positive for Covid and instead of just staying in and watching Netflix for 2 weeks I get dragged from my house by the police or army and flown by helicopter to a cruise ship full of Covid positive prisoners moored off of the south coast somewhere? Who would you get to crew these ships?

It’s almost as if some bell-end has left it to the last minute meaning they have no option.

Plenty of people have been. There are obviously many downsides to lockdowns but there are few alternatives so there is no point moaning like a little bitch because your ale house is shut.

Measures in between is exactly what we have done and are doing now, even our first lockdown was not as severe as many countries. I can’t stand Bozo and his bunch of cronies but when it comes to lockdowns he has little choice. The idea that you can shield the vulnerable and just crack on as normal is just fantasy.

Allowing Covid to run riot would have a much worse impact on the NHS.

I disagree, the EU have made it clear they would welcome us back so there is no reason why they wouldn’t make concessions, especially if Brexit proves bad for both parties. It all depends how things pan out, if we thrive outside as Boris says then obviously going back in won’t happen.
