Indeed, that's a variation of my adage on those who claim such as 20 years experience of something. It's often just 1 years experience repeated 20 times over. .

That's a typical Welfare State answer. None of the responsibility lies with individuals, the state must provide for everything, even all the actions on Covid. The truth is that the state has done everything it can, some things less well, others very well. It's spent immense sums to help people...

You're in now, riding on Bridgegate: Map Link .

The £300 billions wasted in closing businesses where they'd be safer and keeping people off work to crowd onto the beaches in droves would have been a good start in this. .

I haven't said I'm against any of these things, of course I'm not and they are already happening. That's how you know about them!! But they all take a lot of time so we need better meanwhile, not jam tomorrow. You're all agreed we are going to get a lot more deaths short term, so make them...

And you think you have a realistic answer? Throwing more money away to achieve nothing. .

Delusional, no we haven't, that's why we are where we are, a huge swathe of the public have ignored our ineffectual "enforcement". They don't just ignore, they openly defy with large protest demonstrations and marches. Our infection and death rates show how unsuccessful we've been. .

So just criticising and repeating the problem with no real answer again. Please read my post again and try to understand it. We've proved we cannot do enforcement of the type you suggest, goodness knows we've tried hard enough, heavy handed policing including roughing up women and even £10,000...

Again it's what we've already been doing and it hasn't worked, nor will it if attempted again. We don't have the resources to achieve full enforcement or anything remotely like it. And today's public are very different from the conformist 1940s, they'll just say "Foreign Office" to anyone...

So again no answer! Of course quarantine will come into play from time to time, but it hasn't worked well as a policy so far, has it? Ultimately only the public themselves have the answer, and lots of them will have to die before they finally wake up and realise that. Quarantine won't be...

Yes I knew of this. Within the same Europe wide JIVE scheme, London and Birmingham are getting 20 double deckers each and Aberdeen 15 of them. London led the field some 13 years ago with 8 hydrogen fuel cell Mercedes single deckers. but you can see how slow the progress is from that time gap...

Of course, which is why I dont mention it. There's no point dwelling on what's been done. I'm posting about the one option left at present, the one that lies in the hands of the public. It's not a good option but it's all we have. .

Once again, all you do is attack and criticise, with nonsense too. Nader was a self publicist who did next to nothing to improve road safety with his emphasis on symptoms. It was many years later when the authorities brought about the radical reductions in deaths and serious injuries by...

I object your Funny emogee, I'm posting realistic answers and alI get in response is criticism. Criticism without an alternative answer to the problem is pointless, You have no answer to Covid so you'll have to live with it. That might mean lots of things, but funny isn't one of them. .

I can help there. Long ago George Stephenson demonstrate his locomotive and it killed a man who carelessly stepped in front of it. Railways went on to kill large numbers for a while. Over 100 years ago a car was demonstrated in England for the first time and a careless woman did the same and...

Actually not bizarre at all. Either TfL or the bus companies can insist on it and that is legally enforceable. It's their buses so they make the rules for using them, no national law needed. Exactly the same goes for shops, they can make their rules for entry and use. All legally enforceable...

I agree, I wasn't praising his strategy. I just wanted far more emphasis on the public behaviour being the answer and not their depending on government. Because governments have no answer until we get a vaccine that actually works well enough. As I inferred long ago, the present ones are...

On the basis that masks protect others, rather than oneself, according to the experts, it will probably be the failings of an infected person's mask that caused your infection John. I hope your more unpleasant symptoms pass soon. .

Totally agree, see my post just above. .

He may well, but it will be a mistake since it just puts us back into the same loop going nowhere. Sooner or later we will have to live with Covid taking our own precautions. We both have been living in Covid hotspots but have both avoided it, showing how effective that can be. The...
