    Does anyone know anyone who called this from the start? Just asking for a friend.

    By the way - just to warn anyone. In case anyone thought I was going to be modest about this and not make a big deal of the fact that 18 months of arguments, insults and rudeness have been vindicated in the clearest possible terms - I am going to be the most insufferable cûünt going in the next 48 hours. So if you want to block me, go ahead. We were right, lockdowns were wrong. You shut down the country for nothing. Please do feel free to block me if you don’t want 48 hours of incessant bragging and giving it the big one. I’d have probably done the same if I was proved as spectacularly wrong as the lockdown crew have been.

    I’m just hoping that this is the product of a warped, and particularly sick, sense of humour.

    I'm not saying you're right or wrong, but the effects of releasing restrictions won't be reflected in the numbers yet.

    Give it a few weeks and then come back, see if the numbers are lower then. I suspect they won’t be.

    If he is, I’ll be very interested to hear the scientific explanation. It would make a lot of very clever people look very silly.

    I suspect they will now schools are shut, I don’t see how it’s possible for them not to be.

    You do realise that infections falling have nothing to do with restrictions being released yet, right, as it’s too soon for that. You may or may not be right but you’ve climbed up on your horse a bit too early.

    As much as we've disagreed on this subject... Nothing would make me happier than for you to be right.

    Though I'm only talking about the current wave with so many vaccinated. Releasing restrictions in the previous waves would've been utter insanity.

    I would generally agree, but nightclubs opening and social gatherings increasing I am not convinced that the schools being shut will reduce the numbers of cases. I hope I am wrong, but I am yet to be convinced.

    100k dead? With your 18 months of lockdowns? Yes. Yes, there were. And the rest, that didn’t make the figures.

    Oh - were SAGE not aware schools were closing? Did they not know when the school holidays were? They didn’t incorporate that into their modelling, no? Only they said we’d have 100k cases per day by last week?

    By locking down we forced people in to non-secure environments, rather than hospitality where some form of social distancing could take place and be managed. Especially when it was clear care homes and hospitals were predominantly where the virus was spreading - and that’s where testing and focus should have been put.

    There’s a Dutch study highlighting this that’s just been released. But we all kind of knew that anyway I thought.

    "Today's figures do not of course include any impact of last Monday's end of restrictions. It will not be until about next Friday before the data includes the impact of this change."
