Why is it in tier 3 when it’s surrounded 80 miles around it by tier 4. Makes no sense. It’s like the modern day equivalent of West Berlin.
 
I am in Poole, which has just been moved to tier 4. The Bournemouth/Poole/Christchurch area has a population of approaching 400k and has an ageing demographic.

Death rate in minimal, virtually no one under the age of 60 has died and 'covid related' deaths hover around the thousand mark. Even the elderly (60+) death rate is tiny, just a few hundred in the last 10 months.

I have had to visit hospitals a number of times in recent months and they are very quiet, even my one visit to A&E was quick and easy.

The scam is quite obvious, in this part of the country at least.
 
Do you thinks it’s a genuine scam or just “experts” afraid to take a risk after every one leapt on them for inactions last time round?
 
I can remember in the mid 70's when England's smallest county was gripped in the midst of "Rutlemania". And I still have my signed photograph of 'Nasty', 'Stig', 'Dirk' and 'Barry'. Including 5th Rutle 'Leppo' who "mainly stood at the back"!

Difficult to call, though I think it is too co-ordinated across the western democracies for it just to be 'happenstance'.

It is also true that dissenting opinion is suppressed, virtually ignored by mainstream media and experts who do speak up do so at the risk of their careers and livelihoods. Only outliers like Icke and Wakefield seem allowed, but they are easily dismissed.

If it was an issue that has simply got 'out of hand', surely the government, with the experience gained earlier in the year, could have devised a strategy to move back to normality whilst protecting those at risk but there is no sign of that happening or that they even want to move in that direction.

In reality we are looking at lockdown and serious restrictions as a long term (permanent?) solution that is massively out of proportion to the real health issues. This will continue the destruction of economic and social life in the uk, quite why remains to be seen.

Track and trace info in towns spoons reveals people booking tables from Cov! The up from london second house brigade wandering round shops buying supplies for christmas/new year, personally I think everyone should be tier 4 with no travel between zones allowed.
