@simonk_133 Also, *encouraging* WFH isn't a "restriction"!

[Alex Deam @someotheralex]

@simonk_133 Nah, one of the main criticisms from economists of SAGE has been that they if they'd included more experts like economists, they'd have relied less on lazy "common sense" ideas like "public debt is bad and to be avoided" as a motive against action.

What does measuring the bodies of people of colour remind you of?

[Alex Deam @someotheralex]

@jdcmedlock Sorry for your loss man, my Mum died nearly ten years ago now and that was tough but I tried to live afterwards in her memory, and though I obviously didn't your know dad, it seems like he brought up a pretty cool son, I bet he was proud. Take care!

Wonder what it says about the nature of the (US) police that if you fire a bunch of them for refusing vaccines, they might become a literal insurgency

[Foreign Policy @ForeignPolicy]

Firing police who refuse the vaccine might be tempting, but it could ultimately be dangerous.

Government adviser just casually using the definitely non-dystopian concept of "pre-crime"

[Alex Deam @someotheralex]

@dsquareddigest Depends what you mean by "intrusive". I'd suggest that the evidence of July etc shows that the case rate growth is highly variable and therefore it wouldn't take much action (e.g. sick pay/ventilation/improved tracing) to get it to come down again.

Love to live in a democracy

Assuming vote shares for other parties remain stable:

Conservatives need ~5% lead for a majority.

Labour need ~12% lead for a majority.

And here is one reason why covid case numbers are still important in the era of high vaccination. Clinically vulnerable people who can't be vaccinated deserve the same freedoms as the rest of us.
