I feel that the one question that no politician or scientist can face is: when we have lived with far deadlier diseases for millennia, what makes Covid 19 so different, that they have the right to force indefinite social distancing, and all the other restrictions until a vaccine is found. They are going to cause more carnage and death with all the effects of these policies than Covid 19 ever will. Humans are by nature a sociable species, and what if a vaccine is never found. All the current restrictions can’t stay for evermore. The government has started a Unsustainable policy, which will destroy this country. It doesn’t just boil down to a restriction of liberties, the whole response is going to cause more problems, I feel that Sweden have been proved right, as the Government there trust s the People. The Government will have to learn to trust the people on this, as this cruel and unnatural experiment can not go on for ever more.

I am here because I am feeling a huge amount of cognitive dissonance when I am out and only dogs and small children are behaving normally. Yes I could put a mask on but wearing a mask is a lie. Little lies can then turn into big lies and then we lose our sense of trust in ourselves and our society when you think one thing but are asked to do another. The Science (n this case the science that this government chose to use) is just one post modern narrative you can use for your own ends.
I am not vey inclined to believe all these conspiracies. I have lived with tinnitus for over twenty years, which means I have been to some very dark places. All the scientists and politicians talk about this great global emergency, yet they can’t get into their thick heads, that all the crap they talk, is meaningless if life itself is not worth living, as we can't live like this, as if the spark goes out, we are all in trouble. Don’t let the human spirit die in vain.
I believe that a vaccine is already available. The measures imposed are intended to break the public spirit into acquiescence
Grumpy Cat, I hope they will question what has been happening.
Sadly, we will see more of it - terror by the number of cases as the Government is trying very hard to keep the fear alive, they must have realised that without the fear factor they simply have no power over people anymore.
The only way for all of this to stop is if large enough number of people simply said sorry but I'm doing this anymore.
Veritas Vicit - I think reality has bitten also for those who went to Spain for their holidays as the Government said it was ok, and then found they were under house arrest for 2 weeks when they got back home.
Mark, you have more or less answered yourself: 'until vaccine is found'. Many billions have been invested in this vaccine in anticipation of 20x return on investment and if you add unwillingness of politicians to admit mistakes on top of that then here we are.
Grumpy, it took 50 years for the Berlin Wall to fall... we need to act much sooner. Unfortunately a large proportion of society is simply being paid by the government for their ignorance (furlough) whilst enjoying the longest spring/summer break ever, people might start waking up when reality bites at the end of August.
Mark Clay - The Government have dug themselves a hole that they can't get out of. In fact they keep digging down even further every day. I just hope eventually the pile of soil will fall on top of them! No this situation can't go on for evermore, but they are trying to make it last as long as they possibly can. Only the people can say enough is enough and put an end to it. Look at the Berlin Wall for example. Unfortunately not very many think the same way as we do yet.
