We'll just promise to hit 200,000 a day by the end of this month. To what end? Who he fuck knows, but it's a good soundbite. This is just one example, from today alone.
What should happen tomorrow is a plan should be unveiled as to what the next steps are, with estimated timescales attached to each. What absolutely shouldn't happen is people meandering out of lockdown of their own accord because they've decided it doesn't matter any more, which is what we have now.
If it was just a bad start because some wankers were frothing at the gash to give herd immunity a go then I could overlook that. It's not. We're seemingly drifting aimlessly and people are doing their own shit as a result. It's not cool, not cool at all.
