I suspect he might be providing some sort of plan for getting us out of lockdown. I just hope he realises that in itself it is bound to result in criticism, and when it inevitably has to be changed, there will be even more criticism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any harm in having a plan, especially one that says, "if the R ratio is x , if the infection rate is y, and the death rate is z, we will do the following". That way everyone knows there is a plan, and can judge how far we are progressing. If the necessary criteria are not met, then the loosening of lockdown does not proceed, and no one will argue over the decision. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiana123 Posted January 27, 2021 #14406 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) I feel he is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Not just him but whoever was in charge would be criticised whatever their leanings. I Its one of those 'no win' situations. I wouldn't like to be making those decisions at this time.

Rare Eddie99 Posted January 27, 2021 #14408 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Isn’t it likely to be a repeat of the statement he’s just made to the HoC? Schools def not open till March 8, at the earliest, & preliminary plans for post-lockdown route map announced before that Hospitality & leisure after that again, I suppose? It’s a shame but I can’t see how we can go through another lockdown cycle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare P&O SUE Posted January 27, 2021 #14409 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Nipped to my local M&S this morning to buy a birthday card. The car said a balmy 9 degrees! I have a few daffodils in my small front garden and all the shoots are up. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told her they were introducing 'drink in to help out' and giving us all free wine for life. I fear she's going to be sorely disappointed.🍷 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky enough to meet a perfect gem working in a seaside restaurant together as students. One of the very rare occasions that I was actually more proficient in something than she was. I had been working there for 5 seasons though, and it was her first! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
