The government approach to the pandemic is utterly insane. I'd say they have lost the plot except that implies they had a plot to lose.
In the past seven days alone we have three announcements, none of which can sensibly come from one government

1. London and the South East is moving into T3 immediately, due to a sneaky New Strain that attacks only Southerners (boo, but also, yaay). Matt Hancock says the new strain is more contagious than others, but also isn't more dangerous & can still be stopped by the vaccine

Virologists and biochemists who have been studying the fuck out of this virus for nearly a year look on in awe at the mystic powers of a Health Secretary who can tell all of this without even a chemistry set.

Next, although cases are demonstrably spiking in London, and case rises are shown to be common in schools, if you are a school who decides to replace school for *three days* with home schooling, government will SUE YOUR ASS to send those kids to virus centres.

Thirdly, while the virus rages and kids are being forced to catch it, the PM says you can spread through the country at christmas, taking your geographically-specific strain to pastures new. But while you CAN kill your granny, if you do IT'S YOUR FAULT for taking their advice.

These people are psychopaths. Someone needs to stop them. Fuck knows who can.
