Or white people lecturing people of colour on what is or isn’t racist based on their experience and how they should behave when they are faced with it
Surely we should have a set of laws that everyone has to follow and anyone falling foul of it gets punished as with every other area of life. Pretty simple really.
Unfortunately race and environmentalism are the two burgeoning world religions.

Agreed. However when laws and regulations are enforced in a manner which disproportionately affects one (or sometimes more) group of people, the end result is almost always the use of force to promote change, as history has shown us. This isn't a 'white person' problem, its a systemic issue globally which is always being addressed. At this moment in time it is at the forefront of a lot of political and socio-economic discussion and most prominent in the westernised nations. I believe this is because we are the frontrunners when it comes to ensuring everyone has a 'fair shot'. A lot of progress has been made but still a helluva long way to go.
I’ll be honest, I’ve no idea what anyone is arguing about anymore.
I just came here for some good and fashioned, relaxing, Coronavirus chat. But instead found it’s turned into a hybrid of Prisoner Cell Block H, and Mississippi Burning...
Yes, you beauty!

Think you are more than likely correct.
As soon as Hanrooster mentioned a mutation (has it mutated anywhere else?) it was happening.
Drakeford jumped on it straight away as to why the firebreak didnt work.

What are the indications of the mutation?
More contagious, more virulent, has it drifted genetically enough to cause second infections??
What's causing the extra worry? Compared to other strains being around?

We won't know until the data is released but this has been the prevent strain in some European countries and hasn't appeared to be more infectious or virulent there.

The mutation is the excuse to do what was obviously common sense all along.
Johnson, as ever, didn’t want to lead or take a potentially unpopular decision.

this!
Everything I've read suggests it's just more contagious. Nothing to worry about.

Was the various strains and its geographical movements laid out in that Reuters tweet someone posted earlier?
Anyway, is this just being used as a vehicle for 'disappointing' news as if this new strain isn't any more contagious then it matters little what strain it is?

I posted a link to the prevalent strains in different countries after Hanrooster mentioned it in the Commons earlier in the week.
I would wait to see the data before drawing any conclusions about the reasons for stronger measures but it is clear that relaxing the measures earlier in the month has resulted in a dramatic increase in case numbers in the SE

With the Vaccine upon us I wanted to break my self imposed ban to just ask one hugely hypothetical question to gauge a mood on here.
If after the Vaccines have been administered to everyone and normality resumes but the vaccine isn't full proof BUT they could get deaths into a stable number between 10,000 and 50,000 annually like seasonal flu BUT it means life is back to pre Covid would people accept that or would you be wanting to see restrictions for as long as it takes to get annual loss of life as close to 0 as possible?
I'm not going to post again but its just a question that's been on my brain since all the talk of Vaccines so I'm interested in the wide spectrum of views
