I see it's time to go for SAGE and Jennie Harries. No way that was predictable!

"Follow the science" was always a laugh, when you are commissioning the reports. SAGE were wrong in the first instance. We changed stance at the last minute as evidence piled up and public opinion swang strongly behind a lockdown.

People are shallow and political. They saw the fear, the opportunity to raise a glass to 'heroes' with some empty gestures. Same people were always likely to turn on their heroes when the mood in the group changed, and it became clear the picture was very complicated. Now they feel betrayed.

Don't follow this lot! Get rid! And follow the politicians doing the briefings - the same ones who led you at every stage.

IOW, your post, and my response belong in politics, and you might wanna consider that to be my general response to recent events.

We're the rabble. The Mob. The mood has changed. That's all. Justified as individuals by a determination not to get caught the same way, we will over react, and find a scapegoat. As we always do.

Tested positive for the first time this morning.

So far just feel stuffy with whole body aches. Very similar to other seasonal viruses I've had.

How can you have a functioning economy with public health nazis periodically briefing that vast swathes of it should be shut down?

Well, the last 2 years have shown it is possible.

It‘s probably a good thing that you don’t work in science, too.

Why do you and others spend so much friggin time fretting about this shit?

For the last 8 months, apart from the odd minor thing, we’ve lead a normal life. Just enjoy Christmas and stop worrying about what might happen in the future or, worse, one end of the models that scientists are producing and the media are running with.

Ignore the media, they’re utterly full of shit and are succeeding doing to you and others exactly what they’re trying to do - stir you up into a tizz.

Wash your hands, wear your mask, get your jabs, try and distance from others where you can, isolate when you should, but live your life and enjoy yourself.

I was offered a job there 1978 in the Cost Accounts Department, I told my gaffer at Glynwed In Audenshaw I was leaving for better money, 3,500 up 500 on my existing salary, I was then offered 4,000 to stay, snapped their hand off, redundant 18 months later :-).

I worked there for a few months in the early 70s, it was known as the Gas Appliance then even though it was owned by Glynwed, my Grandad was Foreman in the fitting shop
