    You're advocating locking people up and removing their human rights. If you want to live in a police state fella, go move to a suitable country. This is the UK - this is not how we roll.

      There is no human right to endanger life of (many) others.

      You get s free tin foil hat and get to watch on TV how others safely get back to the kind of society we may have lost forever.

      And you will be able to change your mind - use Govt mandated app at all times, you csn wear your tin foil hat too, that’s ok.

        There is no other way apart from compulsory tracking system on movements - manual contact tracing will fail miserably.

        That should be the starting point - maybe later, much later things can be relaxed, but right now it’s race against time before proper economic collapse.

              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
