I personally think we shouldn't be doing the Tier thing..a 3week national lockdown would have been better...

M0nica - maybe, but we have to take advice at the moment and they have not been far wrong. When I first heard of the prediction of 60 thousand deaths it really seemed unbelievable but it has happened, excess deaths taking into consideration. Now we are going into the second wave and it's building as they said it would.

Deeply sceptical. One day an expert says we are all going to die (like this one) the next another expert, equally academically respectable, says deaths will be low.

You pays your money and takes your choice. I am always on the side of the optimists. They are, usually better company.

Its going to be another hard 6months regardless of what's put in place, people just aren't doing what they should.

The tiered lockdown is not enough according to the experts reporting today. If they are anywhere near correct this is going to be a difficult few months.
