Comment	And we continue on with the farce of Schools remaining open. Despite other countries citing re-opening schools being the cause for their spikes. Along with the ridiculous lack of acknowledgement that children can spread the virus, regarless of what effect it has on them. My assumption's that the Government wants to maintain normality. They can't pay out for more furlough, so will leave the Country in a zombie state till someone else fixes things. Its remarkable how much the media's ignoring how bad the UK wide statistics are compared to the rest of the world. Though if you just stick to what's on the TV there's a remarkable amount which is being ignored. It feels like the Governments here want to exist in a bubble - Months behind the curve. Whenever something happens - which already occured elsewhere - its some big relevation. And when they blunder into doing something good they pat themselves on the back, rather than being questioned why they didn't do it sooner; when the rest of the World had already set an example. And now the British Government's announced a new testing program. One which can produce results then and there. Completely different than what other Nations have done apparently. No comments on how long or complicated the development or implimentation of that will be. Or just how come we don't do what say South Korea did with their testing. Youknow, stuff which worked. Instead of coming up with these "world leading" ideas which will cost lives in the time they take come together. Its really quite disheartening how much of a farce those in charge are treating this situation in the UK. A mix of willful incompetence and deliberate obviscation of the facts. I've been waiting on those NHS adverts providing more information than what they've said for Months now - like that kids can spread it, or the basics of how to wear a mask properly. Those too though just come across as feeding into the Government's line of not wanting to scare anyone. Which must all be part of some greater plan for handling the situation at this point - the Government can't be that ignorant. The electorate seems to be however.
