COVID-19 — Coronavirus

You could convert an old army base into a temporary 'new town' - Loopyville or whatever you want to call it. Invite people to go live there free bed and board and free rein to just live and mix as much as they like. Let them sign a disclaimer for if they catch Covid and need to be taken out or to hospital but test them daily and study their movements with CCTV and aps. Give them all the facilities and a pub, sports fields, gym and a theatre etc etc to do what they choose.

Then see what happens.

At least then it is voluntary if they all get sick. And instructive to what really does drive infections.

@Tim of the Oak would be first to volunteer if they had a kebab shop

Not being serious of course but it would be a very interesting experiment.

Liverpool has all the above facilities so would obviously be perfect

Maybe if Boris had used track and trace sytems in place and available, instead of thinking he could reinvent the wheel with his world beating system. It may be easier with a smaller population, I agree. Not electing dickheads helps too though.

For some FUCKING STUPID reason we are doing test, trace and quarantine with our hands tied behind our FUCKING back.
Mobile phone triangulation - not allowed.
Bank card usage checks - not allowed.
The far east does this AND IT IS UNDER CONTROL as a result.

Used it as an excuse to tax the rich to death for years and bankrupted the county. We would be in lockdown and everyone would be on 2000 a month and genuinely we would have never recovered. It would have been Corbyn and Mcdonells utopia. The county would have never have recovered. I genuinely believe that. I would have left if that had got in.

So all in all not a lot different. If they were in they would be taxing the rich anyways. And the Tories maxed out furlough at 2500 a month and will be taxing the poor for decades.

We were never going to allow bank card usage checks, and to be fair I’m not sure I ‘d be comfortable them being able to force that on us.

Yep, if you want to live under a dictatorship. You can have it here, not for me though.

It's a public health emergency. It's essential
The only issue is that UK government once getting a power never gives it back. But if they agree to losing the power when we return to normal times then I have no problem with it.
The alternative is seeing the body count pile up.
