School Covid-19 infections see record one-day rise. The Tories will cause more deaths because there is no cure for stupidity
Rampant: the Covid-19 virus is once again on the loose across the UK because the Tories haven’t just lost control; they’ve deliberately thrown it away.
Wow. Boris Johnson and his cronies promised you and your kids would be perfectly safe if you sent them back to school.
And what happened?
A massive 2,940 UK schools now with Coronavirus infections with more than 900 clusters in school settings
• England 2,149
• Scotland 232
• N. Ireland 136
• Wales 423— Tory Fibs (@ToryFibs) October 7, 2020
It was the largest one-day record for the number of schools infected.
Somehow, I doubt it will all be over by Christmas.
So does Eoin Clarke, who runs the Tory Fibs Twitter feed. He laid out his own concerns about the current Tory policies in a thread that I have no qualms about reproducing here, so you can experience the depth of the Johnson government’s failure here:
First, the government in England think this is a "north of England" problem. People work in regions outside which they live. Uni students traveled outside those regions. Data will soon show CV19 Wave II across the whole of England.

Third, the Gvmnt's CV19 approach has taken on a puritanical, almost mystical, streak. That if they stop all the things that involve fun inevitably the virus will commend society's efforts & depart accordingly. Self Flagellation will not beat the virus.

Fourthly, government are measuring risk by exposure of the person infected. Eg kids rarely die from CV19 thus no risk. Schools do not exist in isolation. Pupils carry viral load back into society. Neither to Uni Halls. These people work in our essential front line services.

Herd immunity will never occur with this virus without catastrophic loss of human life. Attempting it in winter will cause a syndemic & overwhelm our NHS impacting all other admissions & A&E. We do not have the capacity. Besides, it would require 8 full blown waves & still fail.

Conclusion: by failing to focus on cutting the number of social contacts the government are on course to kill thousands. Bubbles in social life, free for all in work/study life will not work. Coronavirus cannot tell, nor either cares about, the difference.

This Writer has been saying much the same – especially about the concentration on the economy causing more damage in the long run.
Sadly, there no way to stop Johnson, Hancock and the other incompetents from continuing on their course to disaster – for a very simple reason:
There is no cure for stupidity.
Have YOU donated to my crowdfunding appeal, raising funds to fight false libel claims by TV celebrities who should know better? These court cases cost a lot of money so every penny will help ensure that wealth doesn’t beat justice.
