Of people dying, probably yes.

Let’s follow the Chinese example then, it worked impeccably.

All too slow, parliament could be recalled tomorrow, why wait ? Most of them will be online anyway.

It has been recalled tomorrow

Oops.
Mask slipping there mate.
I was simply praising Sturgeon and Starmer for their support for a necessary lockdown which appears to be forcing the indecisive Johnson's hand.

Can’t see any mask from me, or from you, you’re intentions are as clear as the nose on your face

The spike protein is a highly complex and folded protein that takes up a 3D structure dependent on environmental conditions and its solvent but if you alter the amino acid sequence you potentially change the 3D structure and hence forcefields that control neutralisation reactions.

Very true. But... if it still plugs into the ACE2 receptor then a number of the vaccines will still work. The only way they won't is if we have magor genetic change and that generally only happens on species jump or vaccine pressure. It takes a long time for Flu to make such change.
I'm not saying it isn't possible - just highly improbable

Who would have an accurate record of that, however, other than the business itself?

Even if Police Scotland proactively enforce the new restrictions, there will always be those who flout them. Perhaps the fear of bringing the virus back into their own households will bring them to their senses. Then again...

Yep I hear you, but surely construction and everything like that could be instructed under no uncertain terms that they must close.

Johnson doesn't have the support of his own MPs so promised a vote last time around.

Many are of the Hartley-Brewer school of reality.

He didn’t have a vote on tier 4 expansion. He announced it the day after the house rose for Christmas.

It amazes me how easily people just want to give up all their freedoms, is it fear?

You sound like a right mard arse.

“Giving up freedoms”. It’s fucking schools closing, lad.

Why do you need to exaggerate what's happening to make your point? There can be something inbetween China and the UK's approach. Common sense.

We could try Finland...

And you don’t think the teaching unions are politically motivated then?

Don’t think raising concerns over public health issues can be classed as political. As now seems certain schools will not reopen even though Johnson and co claimed they are safe , so looks like the unions were correct while Johnson and his band of Merry men were spouting shit .
