As the other (Stay or go) thread appears to be locked, I've started this one. There is no specific subject matter so hopefully everyone can continue to update others as to what's happening in their lives and areas. I live in the suburbs (but hope to move to rural Northumberland in next few years) and found it really illuminating to hear how those living in rural areas are being affected by issues such as tourists and lack of access to shops etc

There is no doubt in my mind that " the clowns " as you put it are trying to do what they believe is in the best interests of the country. They have said from the outset that they have been led by the science. If that is true, then it is clear, in hindsight, that they have on occasions been led by the wrong scientists. The problem is, almost every different scientist you listen to has a different opinion. In the end the politicians still have to make a decision, and there is no doubt they have made the wrong decision at times, but what annoys me is they will never admit to making the wrong decision. I think the general public would respect them a lot more if they did. Nobody is perfect.

The next big decision they have to make is how quickly to ease the partial lockdown we still have. Only time will tell if they get that right. Hopefully they will.

Personally I think that the government should have closed our borders early and insisted on returners quarantining for a period. 

We have scientists saying lockdown should have started earlier but given the the growing level of public protest after 7 weeks maybe not.

Very true. They are all difficult decisions to make. I'm glad it's not me having to make them.

This is just offensive rubbish.

I think that the words you really should have used are 'This is just an opinion that I disagree with and therefore find offensive'.

It certainly can be classified as name calling ET. Personally I find that offensive.
