THIS is total utter Bollocks!
I don't understand why anybody who knows about Medicine is falling for this bull# ,The Gov wants lockdown Blatently
If the people don't act now we're screwed

To me it would seem like isolating after spread would create variant clusters only for us all to group back together for necessary services. I was contemplating this idea during the first lock down, but haven't really seen anything to confirm. Does anyone know this? It seems logical, but havent seen anyone of "acclaim" mention it.
As many as 60,000 people could die from flu this winter, scientists have said as they warned that a combination of seasonal viruses and Covid-19 could mean that the NHS is “unable to cope” this winter.
Experts said that if left unchecked, the flu season could be particularly deadly this year but a series of measures could help mitigate the risks including the enhanced flu jab programme and rapid tests for flu.
The new report warned that a mix of Covid-19, influenza (flu) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), could put severe strain the NHS this winter.
Scientists said that people who are sick should “stay out of the way” to avoid spreading flu and other winter viruses and stop the annual pressure put on the NHS.
Covid-19 restrictions meant that many respiratory viruses were kept at bay last winter.
But some experts have raised concern about what this could mean for population immunity to such illnesses and virologists have predicted that they will return this year as people socialise more.
The new report from the Academy of Medical Sciences states there is still high levels of uncertainty around the effect flu and other respiratory illness could have on the NHS over the winter.
The new report stats that flu and RSV hospital admissions and deaths could be twice that seen in a “normal” year and could coincide with an increase in Covid-19 infections.
Models suggest between 15,000 and 60,000 could die from flu this winter.

New 'super mutant' Covid strains may emerge

I'm not a subscriber to the online Telegraph so can't read the article but the headline says...
New 'super mutant' Covid strains may emerge
May not will.
It isn't "utter Bollocks" it's the nature of viruses , they mutate to survive , hence the Delta variant is more contagious.

Even though against the warnings from scientists the government has lifted lockdown in England.
Sensible post. However, what if the government lifted the lockdowns so they can fudge some numbers in order to enforce the next (seasonal) lockdown?
