Schools are putting pupils in bubbles and teaching them and play grounds are divided up for years or bubbles, or if not bubbles spaced out 2m apart. 

So i was amazed today working near a secondary school at kick out time buses turned up and then left jammed full with all ages of pupils, so all the work done by school all day went pop.    

Same here, all years on bus but can’t mix at school. The teachers also cross between year bubbles. Total load of crap like the rest of it.

Cornard?

I see the amount of people in hospital and deaths have reached the same levels for when we went into lock down first time around. Last time we peeked at a 1000 deaths a day so lets hope it not so bad this time around.

Pretty much sums up the total futility of the whole lockdown/Circuit break concept.

My worry about these strategies is that if we continue to sanitise and distance everyone meaning we all stop getting colds flus etc etc what happens to our immune systems? As I kid I remember getting colds quite often and even in my 20s through winter getting ill every now and then.

I thought I heard that people who had got other coronaviruses recently, like colds, may have some levels of immunity to Covid-19. Surely if we carry on down this path all of our immune systems are going to become weaker and in the future more susceptible to new viruses..

Agreed 

constantly locking people away or restrictions on social interaction are proving to be totally ineffective. The resultant damage to all other aspects of life are now way way worse than the effects of the virus. Not hard to see up here in Scotland we are being prepped for a so called circuit breaker. Decisions made in a room by Sturgeon and a group of compliant  head nodding fear mongering sycophants each striving to out do the other in the quest to protect us. Decisions as is the case in Westminster too that are not subject to any form of democratic scrutiny/criticism or allowed to be questioned by an alternative view. Hopefully some scientific opinions are starting to question the benefits vs costs by this form of rule by decree. 
Sadly the masses seem to swallow all of this shit and often as was the case with many on here welcome more and more pointless restrictions.

"the futility of it all" We cut deaths from 1000 a day to less than 10 a day and even now it's only 60 but rising. That is a lot of lives saved  and I dont see that as futile. We need to be careful through this winter but come the spring and summer we have shown we can have a fairly normal life by meeting up outside and not seeing huge numbers of cases. The smart money thinks we will have some sort of vaccine in numbers by this time next year so if we can keep numbers down over the winter we may well be on the way out of this mess.

The corporate line virtually word for word I’m afraid ?‍♂️. There is huge amounts of data available to question statistics ref deaths and a reason why after a previous extremely mild winter and flu season why we had a huge amount of vulnerable individuals prone to infection within society in general.  Locking everything down is as Big J stated no different to putting a finger on a leaky pipe it’s not the answer and any fool would understand what happens when said  finger is removed. You are totally missing the point ref the harm the focus on Covid has done to other areas of health care,  the damage to the economic fabric of the country and ensuing mental health issues will prove to be catastrophic in the long run. Smart money !!!!  Who’s smart money are you referring too, join the line for the vaccine they will rush out in the name of saving you, I know a lot of people will be swerving that. 
You obviously don’t  mind rule by decree or lack of democratic function and endless pointless changing restrictions on travel or seeing elderly family etc etc. 
Sit tight be careful wait for the vaccine and follow the rules without question, or use some old fashioned common sense and get on with your life. 
I’ll be doing the latter as are most of the people I know.
