When Coronavirus19 first appeared in the UK I was broadly supportive of sensible moves to contain the virus and ensure that Britain’s crappy and creaking healthcare system was not overwhelmed. However as time has gone on, both the scientists and the public now know and understand more about this virus. We understand that it is very mild in the vast majority of people who contract it and that the main victims of this disease have been those with co-morbidities. We can also discern that this disease has followed the path that nearly all epidemics follow. This is a slow start, a peak with deaths of those vulnerable to it, concluding with a decline as much of the population either naturally acquires immunity it or reaches those who are naturally genetically predisposed to not contract it. We are now at the stage where Covid could be said to be endemic and it has burned through the vast majority of those who were especially vulnerable to it.
Despite the common sense view that I and others have taken regarding Covid and which has been applied by governments such as that of Sweden, the UK Government’s response to Covid has been to be ever more tyrannical and unnecessarily so. It is difficult to take seriously the government’s claims that there is a problem when the deaths from Covid in the UK are down into the low double figures or even single figures. Yes there are ‘cases’ but these cases are only seemingly found via testing.
To give you a taste of how unnecessarily so the government has become over the issue of Covid one need only look at two stories from the UK MSM. The first is about additional restrictions, including curfews, in the North East and the news from Scotland that police are going to be empowered to kick down people’s doors, not because they are suspected of any genuine and credible crime, but because the police suspect more than the allowed number of people might be inside.
Covid to all intents and purposes has gone. It is no longer the mass killer that it was seen as earlier in the year. There is no excuse for the tyranny now, there is no excuse for the trashing of Britain’s economy at a time of Brexit when Britain really does need any economic advantage that we can get and there is no excuse for curfews or any other restriction on Briton’s liberties. Those in Government who are behind these outrageous tyrannical curtailments on the movement and activities of Britons need to go. Hancock, Whitty and yes even the Prime Minister need to be replaced over this debacle. Replacing these politicians with those who will be sensible, take a less paranoid view of Covid and who will stop destroying Britain’s economy should be a major priority for Tory MP’s. Covid should be the equivalent of Suez, a scandal that destroyed a government, for Johnson, Hancock and others who have mismanaged the situation terribly, whether it will be or not depends on Tory MP’s and whether they have the balls to stand up for freedom or whether they are merely sheep in sheep’s clothing.
