What happens a year from now will depend entirely on what happens now and what happens now depends entirely depends on the advice the people at risk are given What was apparent from last night's fiasco was the advice being given was not based on medical considerations but on a calculated risk based on economic considerations - the money men in the cabinet won the day This is very buch like the military decisions taken during WWI where each foot of land was measured in human lives - the only difference being that the calculated strategies have been replaced by yet another leap in the dark - (Brexit was enough for one lifetime, surely) My sister in Liverpool summed it up perfectly on the phone last night - "we don't know whether it's safe to go out or not" I hope Dave's Dr Reid get's to head the tribunal which investigate the behaviour of these prickens Jim
