That’s fair enough. But I’ve never heard anything from the government specifically blaming the Muslim community for the spike in coronavirus infections.

So now is not the time to walk on eggshells if there is evidence of spikes in these communities then it’s got to be brought up for their Sake. This is a sensible approach and not a blame game.

Ppeople probably complain because there is no consistency in what the Government do, as I said why wait 9 days before imposing wearing of masks in Churches and cinemas. What is the point in bringing a quarantine order in as they did, (which I agree with) but then say oh wear masks in church but you are ok for another 9 days, it is stupid.

steved32 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 'Pubs or "other activities" in England may need to close to allow schools to reopen next month, a scientist advising the government has said.' PM Dom and puppet Bozza hiding behind the science as a threat. Virus will spike, pubs will stay open... many schools will stay shut. Just watch.

No evidence of course to support this claim other than her opinion & apparently some claims, made by her, that some of her constituents are also of this opinion. Yes, that would be right....hmmm?

I'm thinking Boris might play safe and we go into lockdown by September. Given the number of crowds of people (drinkers and not) having a great time with bugger all social distancing we'll be chugging along at 3k a day by then.
