I've been scratching my head regarding why cases have been on the rise for so long.

I initially put it down to apathy, especially after the Cummings fiasco, but I've come to the conclusion that schools are driving this increase.

All we've heard from the Government is "we must keep the schools open at all costs, as kids are not driving up the infection rates". Well, how come since they all went back in September the numbers began to steadily rise?

If anybody's got another proposal as to what's causing the increases, I'd love to know.

Amazed if it was schools.
Didn't Bozo tell us he had 'great confidence' in his 'world-beating' track and trace system being up and running for schools to reopen on June 1st 2020?

Schools and Universities being open and the new variant from Sept too.

Corbyn would have handled it better? Lol. How? By calling it the fault of isreal and offering it free WiFi to go away?

Tbf with the nationwide homeschooling free WiFi would sound like a great policy right about now.

I’d also go with the relaxation of supermarket restrictions.
The ASDA in Normanton have pretty much gone back to pre Covid.

I agree
The "Leader" of our country declared schools "safe" on Sunday lunchtime and then the following day, declared they would need to close.
He FINALLY seems to have grasped that kids, although at vey low risk themselves, actually DO spread the virus.

It's taken him 10 months to work this out and perhaps instead of berating the Teachers and Unions at every opportunity, he should start to listen to them as they clearly know a fair bit more than him - granted, it's not difficult.

He reinforced his point tonight that schools are safe, which they are. It’s the knock on effect into the community that’s the concern.

THIS
Very surprised it’s not been mentioned before, most supermarkets have been extremely relaxed in terms of volume of people allowed in, no 2m rules, no floor markings, no one way systems - then if by magic on Monday our local Asda went back to limited numbers, long queues outside. Be interesting if there are any stats for infection from supermarkets

Yes, because Covid comes with a barcode tag that states where and when you caught it, and from whom...

Is that not part of the point of track and trace

or is it just your intention to slag everybody off until you are eventually banned
