We need action now as we have the benefit of hindsight

In my opinion the trace part of track and trace is the problem. We do not have identity cards which means that people are able to put down incorrect details on entering restaurants, bars etc if they choose to.

A total lockdown would be disastrous on many levels, mental health, domestic abuse, our children’s education and obviously economically.

I think it would not have been so bad if the test and trace system had worked.

It will be the nails in the coffin of this country if they go into another lock down which does precious little as once we come out of lockdown the numbers go straight up we need to get on with life and those that are ill or weak or very old need to be the ones locking down not the country
I don’t think people will be so compliant a second time round it doesn’t work it’s still there hovering around waiting for us to pop back to life

I fervently hope that Johnson will take the SAGE advise and introduce measures immediately.

He left it too lat last time with the result of thousand more deaths than necessary.

We can’t afford to dither, we have no test and trace system the only positive thing we can do is to introduce another form of lockdown.
