COVID-19 — Coronavirus

SAGE advisor Prof Andrew Hayward told the BBC: “My personal view is we're putting far too much emphasis on having a near-normal Christmas.We know respiratory infections peak in January so throwing fuel on the fire over Christmas can only contribute to this"

Fellow SAGE member Prof John Edmunds told ITV’s Peston: "I think that it would be prudent not to go wild at Christmas quite honestly, so I think that we will have to moderate and have a slightly disappointing Christmas, unfortunately.”

And Prof Gabriel Scally, a member of the unofficial Independent SAGE group, said: “It's no use having a good Christmas if you're burying friends and relations in the new year

People will take part in Christmas regardless.
it is a necessary thing for mental health.
The last time Christmas was cancelled in 1647 it resulted in a major insurrection. This time would be no different.
It SAGE was serious about reducing the impact of Christmas they would be pushing for schools to close 9 days before Christmas - remember, schools are responsible for 29% of current Covid-19 cases. They haven't even suggested this should happen.

No - you're spot on. Good news is not reported by the MSM scum. Only bad.

Spot on mate.
When you think of all the covid league tables we're top off.
Never any mention on MSM.

You think schools should close? Surprised you’ve not mentioned it before.

I see the mixed messaging continues, on the one hand we're being told to be careful if we don't want a "third" wave, and on the other hand it's fine for Santa's grotto (even in tier 3), and carol singing.

Mind boggles.

There’s a rumour around Urmston that Trafford will be kept out of Tier 3. I told my family I think it’s bollox but there seems to be plenty of confusion in some areas.
