COVID-19 and the UK Government
In times of bullshit, spout bullshit. As of today most of Europe is on lockdown, with closed borders and travel bans, whilst the UK government is advising that we wash our hands and sing happy birthday.
It has gotten to the point where the inaction of the British government scares me. It feels as if Boris Johnson is valuing the UK economy over the health of the population. If I had the chance, I would murder the chief scientific advisor, Sir Patrick Vallance where he stands. No only does he not understand herd immunity (90% is required with vaccinations), he is also willing to potentially sacrifice over 2 million people with the current global 7% death rate.
The government's adamant refusal to close schools due to the belief that it will do more economy, and will cause a 3% drop in GDP is (in my opinion) ridiculous. Obviously this virus is not fatal to young people, and the youngest UK victim has been a 59 year old man, however schools are hot beds of disease. What Boris Johnson doesn't seem to comprehend is that over the last 10 years, with the Conservatives austere spending policy, the education system has been just as underfunded as the NHS. This can most clearly be seen in school facilities that are not 'vital' in learning, e.g. toilet facilities. Where doors do not lock, toilets do not flush, taps do not work, and there is no FUCKING soap!
And whilst I love the government's suggestion of social distancing, and remaining 1.5m from each other at all times, this is impossible in lessons, between lessons, and in the canteen, where students are crushed together like sardines in a tin of corona sauce. Also; notice the 1800 students, not including teachers and other members of staff, this definitely goes over the governments recommendation to cancel/limit any events of more than 500 people.
I have long been disappointed by the government's incompetency, but this pandemic how far the UK government is willing to let down and sacrifice the most vulnerable members of our society (elderly, immunocompromised, chronically ill).
All I'm saying is that I want their heads on a spike by the end of the year.Â
