Do you feel it is safe to start opening the country or do you think we need to wait a little longer?

If we keep the vulnerable isolated I think we could open up.

@FreeSpirit1 Have you read what is going on in care homes in Lockdown ??
Folk are dying at ridiculous rates because it's either already inside or Carers are taking it in !!

@Picklebobble2 so the lockdown didnt work in some places, I'm sure it slowed the spread down in most places though.

@FreeSpirit1 The thing is, its not just "the vunrable" who are getting it and dying from it, it is killing people of all ages and of all backgrounds but if your willing to put your life at risk then go for it.

@FreeSpirit1 So perhaps the point of Lockdown was to contain it among the elderly. And in so doing protecting the rest of us.

What does it say for a society that uses that as a strategy?

@Picklebobble2 ot just that but also have no medical backup for them too!!

@milkymum1 [b]How on earth can you even begin to apologise to those putting their lives at risk 24 hours a day for not ensuring they have the most basic tools to do the job [/b]

@Picklebobble2 Its like Hancock today said "before the crises we had more than enough supplies" so in that case why have so many not got PPE or where has it all gone? etc, etc.

EVeryday you see different Ministers saying they are sorry but its words you can tell they don't even mean it and stumble over it.

@milkymum1 and the longer it goes on the more folk die and the less convincing it sounds.
milkymum1 · 31-35, F
@Picklebobble2 Yes and the more health and careworks don't have thier PPE too, and that the press have convienently forgotton about the ventorlaters too.
