Interesting piece from New Scientist

It is easy to think that the government are making these decisions blindly. But you have to remember they have teams of researchers, who know far more about this than you or me, advising them all the way. None of us are experts in virology or microbiology so we must trust those that are to make the right call.

I wouldn't trust Boris Johnson to sit on the toilet the right way up. They do have teams of researchers trying to guess what it is Dominic Cummings wants to hear on any given topic. They totally ignore any science that doesn't fit their agenda.

What is their agenda?

Wealth over health and heard immunity at the expense of the vulnerable, seem pretty obvious the way they are going. Along with the other current policy driver boris the buffoons narcissistic ego.

The case of a Mink farm in Spain is concerning... it appears that the Mink have caught Covid 19 from some of the human workers... it seems that the virus is multi dimensional... your pet dog or cat might be next.. !

There was a case in the news back at the beginning in a zoo somewhere (Spain maybe?) where one of the Big Cat keepers was a confirmed case, and a week or so later, one of their Tigers started coughing, and they tested the Tiger and found that it had Covid......and therefore deduced it had caught it from the keeper.

The long term tests done in the UK over past 3/4 months have already shown that so-called heard immunity is likely to be wishful thinking with the evidence that any anti-bodies in the human bodies after fighting off have waned away after 3/4 months.

Always been the same I suspect "take it on the chin", meaning let the virus do what it will, those who survive will be immune. Except there is mounting evidence that having had a mild case, or no symptoms at all, may not give long term immunity. I'll believe it's back to normal when I see all the MPs back in the Commons sitting on their green benches packed in like sardines in a tin.

Wishful thinking obviously forms the major part of boris the buffoons limited intellectual capacity.
