Is the government going for Corona herd immunity in the young?
« on: 01/12/2020 06:57:34 »
Unbelievably, despite the official panic over corona, since September the government has pursued a policy with the young that can only logically be counted as at cross purposes to viral suppression. Herding thousands of hormonally aggrivated teenagers into residential accommodation buildings and having children in a circulation tank can only be judged as incorrect in regards to virus control. Further more during the recent lockdown in all the uk parishes the schools remained open which can only cause the opposite of the desired effect.

Now I'm not really against this sort of thing, plus children are the biggest vectors for cold and flu so the sooner the children have done with the virus the sooner the  surge numbers decrease.  But I wish they would be honest

Opening the schools meant that parents could go to work and pay taxes for the Tories to give to their friends.
Would it help if they were honest about that?

Children are not "done with the virus" until they are all infected. Meanwhile they infect everyone else.
