STORY:

Lindsay Wooton: I appreciate this is difficult and changing daily, but why everyone told to wear masks but shop assistants don't have to wear them?

Adam Kent: Ha ha ha open up the airports, started holiday travel then say we need to stop it reaching our shores .... Only one way to do that.

Mary Pinder: We all knew this was going to happen, shouldn’t have opened up, far to soon, start locking down again now.

Graeme Wharton: Shut the pubs and shut the shopping ctrs ... hell just shut everything till it all goes away.

Neil Heskett: Panic buying will start very soon like the last time.

Fiona Moss: That’s simple. stop people travelling to and from other countries. It’s the only way. Nichola Waldron: Stop people travelling.

Gary Thompson: Then now is the time to impose a lockdown. Don’t wait, and say we got it wrong.

Jeremy Hume: It should be obvious that social distancing has been de facto over since early June (see: giant protests, raves, etc). Despite this there has NOT been an increase in COVID-19 hospital admissions. Let's end the dystopian 'new normal' of mandatory distancing. The response to coronavirus may have been the biggest overreaction in the history of the UK.

STORY:

Boris Johnson has warned a coronavirus second wave could strike the UK ‘within two weeks’ - but will we go back into lockdown?

Karen Priest Matthews: The worst thing they could have done was to allow travel to n from other countries so soon. We were only just starting to see results. This was inevitable. “Stop the spread” that was the aim. Very wise.

Adam Fairless: Why not just stop people flying abroad all together then again like afore problem solved.

Graeme Collinson: If they handled this situation much more sternly in the 1st place things might be different.
