Neatly captures the crossover a lot of us experienced. Most of us were scared at the start, the pictures and seemingly high death rates were worrying. The only people not worrying were SAGE who did nothing to stop flights from China. https://twitter.com/GuidoFawkes/status/1349026673359007744

We were definitely taking it more seriously than Boris who was wandering around shaking Covid patients by the hand like a fat Diana. Then as it became evident the disease wasn't as fatal as first feared the Givernment started behaving like it was airborne ebola.

We got more sceptical, the costs of the lockdown outweighed the benefits. The Govt pretended that herd immunity had never been a strategy, and they had wanted to suppress the virus all along egged on by media wankers. They abandoned the virus to focus on the psychology.

Introducing a raft of restrictions and facemasks when the virus didn't present any kind of threat. They then lost the room with more and more hysterical projections based on nonsense, and ever since they have hysterically run around trying to suppress an endemic virus.

So the swing in James's attitude was completely correct and rationale. Guido on the other hand has sat on the Government's fist throughout like the lobby journalist he claimed to hate.
