BJ and his Government are between a Rock and a Hard Place.
Why?
The probability of an effective virus is low, mostly because the virus doesn't seem to result in the production of many antibodies, especially in the many many people who have probably had a mild infection. I say probably because they have never been tested. Why not test more? Because the virus doesn't result in the production of a large antibody load, so the tests are unreliable.
Let us assume that there will not be a viable vaccine. Society has to carry on and it must learn to live with this virus: it cannot continue locked down and isolated. The result, therefore, is that people will die, but the majority will not. The responsibility for sensible behaviour has to be given to the people: legislation cannot cover every responsibility.
But by giving the people the responsibility there will be an element that has become so dependent on authority telling them what to do that they will not be able to cope. IMHO this is the same element who were so terrified of leaving the EU Mother Ship that they built project fear. It should be no surprise that the Project Fear supporters have latched onto Covid 19 to re-sell their concept.
I shall be going for a drive on Wednesday, just for the fun of it, and will park somewhere to enjoy a flask of coffee and home made egg sandwiches. I will observe social distancing, not because I think it is important, nor because it is the law, but because I don't really like people. I do like cars. Tarka has run less than 1200 miles since November, this is not good enough at all.
Going forward, I take full responsibility for my actions and their consequences. I hope everyone here will do the same. I will not criticise others for their their actions, unless they try and stop me from doing something that is legal and my choice.
