It won't work as a control measure or as a prevention measure in anymore than the very short term.

Use of Lockdown as a primary control measure has been warned against by WHO prominent scientists.

I think another full lockdown will damage what is left of the economy too much and will mean so many more people will loose there jobs, the repercussions will be with us for years, I think we need to find something else other than a full lockdown to get out of this mess.

Indeed Boris will ignore it.

Politics aside, the three-tier approach announced yesterday gives us a good balance between public health and the economy. I think that approach should suffice for now.

A full lockdown would be necessary only if things get a lot worse than what we are currently experiencing.

I hope they work. The fact that 19 of the 20 northern areas that have been under restrictions for several weeks saw their numbers continue to grow doesn’t bode well.

Would make halloween very interesting. Could be genuinely quite scary on some estates.

part of me thinks if 3 months wasn't long enough how will 2/3 weeks.

Iam very aware that staying at home is not easy for a lot of people or society in general.

i like Kier and this is bold but im very undecided. At some point life must continue, with a mask and washing hands and taking care of the vulnerable. I do feel herd immunity, at some point must come into play. Thank God om not a student anymore thio. locked up like rats.

i work on testing sites... looks like i might be busy. But psychologically, emotionally, financially it's going to very very hard.

Closing down a coffee shop in Devon for example where there are bugger all cases, because a town 150 miles away has a spike in cases, just seems daft to me.. I admit I ain’t the brightest but even I can see that’s just putting people out of a job for no real reason... or costing a fortune more in furlough payments... localised action seems the better option..

Would actually make sense tbh food shops open wouldn’t kill people not to shop and a fair chunk of people have some amount of time off - although some sectors make all their annual profit during this period so would be devastating

Calling people Covidiot and blaming sectors of society etc is just falling into the false othering narrative.

A full lockdown was planned for October. The second wave was planned for. The issues are multiple. Combine the lack of trust in the government, weariness with COVID, acceptance of risk and the devastating impact on the economy (plus Brexit looming) equals perfect storm.

Most transmissions currently are amongst those in education...the young fit and healthy. The people who we need to keep the country going and those who will potentially riot if they are pushed into the abyss next year. Think the 1980s plus social media.

We have governance and policing by consent. Consent is waning.

I think the sensible view I heard a few weeks ago was they'd lockdown half term week (25th) and do the week after as that would encompass halloween and bonfire night to prevent gatherings for them too.

So as it's the sensible, logical option we can rule that out!

All I can say is we were at least two weeks late in going into a lockdown in March. Seems to me a circuit breaker is needed now and we will need a further one straight after Christmas...with a further one in march again.

Things have changed worldwide and all economies will have to adapt to the changes until a solution is found.

only if it is applies the same across the country... because at the moment you have got people in liverpool for example looking at people in nottingham and asking "why are they not in tier 3 and we are?"... you have got most of the north looking at london asking "why are they in tier 1 and we are in tier 2?"

it needs to be consistant with well defined parameters, so that people know and people don't argue! this is just way too divisive at the moment....

WTF!?

Is that a 15amp circuit breaker or a 30amp circuit breaker? Am I even in the right area of understanding?

Noooooooooooo! Starmer wants a 3 week circuit-breaker . . . Boris's is obviously too long co's he said his circuit-breaker could be 6 months !!!!

Yea. Wait. I get it now. A 3 week circuit-breaker - that's gotta' be better than a 6 month circuit-breaker. Right? !

This is uncharted territory for all. Even the scientists seem to have confused views on the best way of dealing with the pandemic. The politicians are rabbits in headlights and lurch from one policy to another.

We need a concise 6 month plan that is clear and unambiguous that attaches financial support to those impacted so that we don’t injury individuals and businesses.

Alternatively let go and crack on with life.

Well you could look at the evidence from many countries that tried full lockdowns to the countries that didn't, there's hardly a correlation, Brazil didn't but Peru and Chile did and there's practically no difference, Germany did France did Belgium did, Spain did, Sweden didn't, on the long scale there won't be much difference, if you really want to boil it down, those that vaccinated the highest for influenza in they're elderly are also the worst effected by covid, maybe we should just stop vaccinating the elderly!!

I think in truth we’ll either take it soon or be forced to take it in 3-4 weeks anyway as numbers mount. There was a lot of logic in going early rather than to let cases rise prior to initiating it.

One thing we do know from bitter experience is infection rates can multiply quickly but getting them back down is slow and painful work.

Yesterday 701 children aged between 5 and 14 in England tested positive for covid. 462 of these were aged 10 to 14. Every 5 year age group above that up to 65-69 years had more cases with all but the 60-64 age group at least double.

I don’t agree with any more lockdowns, but just to answer on the figures, I would imagine the vast majority of school kids, if infected, particularly the youngest, are a symptomatic and not getting tested. I wouldn’t put much emphasis on the 701 figure you quote.

"A 3 week national lockdown will be enough to tip an ailing economy from Recession into a Depression just in time for the arrival of the still undecided Brexit finale.

Not a good position to be in."

Spot on - sick to death of the lefties trying to make political capital out of a virus. Stinks of desperation because we all know the Labour Party will never again (certainly in my lifetime) be fit to govern. It's too far infiltrated by communists.

Complete waste of time all of these lockdowns. It's a virus that has over a 99% survival rate for God sake.

Average age of people dying of Covid = 82.2

Average life expectancy UK = 81.1

The people who are dying would have died anyhow. Lift restrictions and try to recover the economy. More and more people are dying of suicide. I know 6 people under 30 whove sadly taken their own lives as a result of mental health issues caused by the current situation.

Sweden had no lockdowns but they've managed fine.

I read somewhere 2 week lockdown might push virus numbers back 28 days.. if so we will need 2 weeks locked down, 4 weeks open, 2 weeks locked down... just to stand still.

Several of them do seem to be quite critical of how the tories have treated the NHS.

Still being professors of medicine and working in health care all their lives,what would they know?

Presumably this also inlavidates their opinion on the pandemic.

It depends what you are trying to achieve. A lockdown does not get rid of a virus it just delays a virus.

Sage also said this was only one part that had to be considered along with the harm a lockdown would do to the economy and the other side effects of a lockdown.

Starmer is just playing polotics as he knows Boris will have to authorise additional local lockdowns in the coming weeks then he can say you should have locked down when I suggested it.

Northern Ireland is one of the worst places in Europe. Londonderry ( I think)and a few other places are 33% higher per 100,000 then Liverpool.

Well... He is a politician.

It's a also a pretty sure bet that we will end up in another hard lock down. So anyone predicting the "we should have done in harder and sooner" is a winner. A bit like predicting the "cold snap" in weather in winter in UK. One day youll be right and can say how clever you are.

No, Covid is still going to be here in week 4.
