Science and politics don't mix. The edges have become blurred to the point where mis-truths are spoken by MP's and scientists. Both are after financial gain. But who is paying the price ? I disengage, I turn the page.

Ffs the mental stress and emotion is mad. I'm not the only one I know but love to all you guys and let's get through this and be families and friends again. This brings home how special we are to each other. Xxx You take care. One of the nicest things to come out of this is how people are discovering that whatever our differences we have much more in common than that which divides us. Here in the UK anyway! The USA is a whole different scenario! I am lucky and have a garden which fronts a lane which is on a very popular route for people taking their daily exercise. Just about all want to stop, chat, make sure all is OK and offer help where needed. My own daughters are in Bucks and Herts so I don't get to see them that frequently normally. In fact our online video chats have increased as they, and my grandchildren, have more time than usual. For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

That’s true but according to the experts a vaccine either will or won’t be developed in 6, 12 or 18 months. The spike is either past, present or in the future. Herd immunity either is or isn’t a possibility. Catching the virus either does or doesn’t provide immunity. Lockdown was either a good or a bad idea. Masks either should or shouldn’t be worn. Hospitals either do or don’t have any spare capacity. Apart from a few other contentious points they’re in complete agreement.
