Sorry Sam, just reread your post. I heard the over 50s suggestion on radio news bulletins (Classic FM) however certain members of the cabinet are now denying it.

It is so hard knowing what to believe as, even if you hear it straight from the horses mouth, the horses within the cabinet do not appear to be speaking in a single language and certainly not from the same book.

I didn't read the whole thing but did a quick CTRL+F on "herd" and didn't find anything to suggest the government is going the herd immunity route which. I don't think it matters though. I feel the plan at the moment is flood the media \ social media with so much crap that it's impossible to distinguish what is really happening with what isn't. I think it's been covered in some circles about how some people (both domestic and foreign) play both sides to do nothing but cause confusion and untrust. Some countries who have stated they are pro-actively trying to cause this issue and that the end game isn't one side winning over the other but rather the real purpose is just to put so much crap out there you don't know what to trust anymore and sow confusion.

It they don’t understand then what hope does the average person has. Part of me still feels the narrative is going to turn into it being the average person for not following the rules as opposed to the rules being poorly communicated.
Yes, it will be our fault . From what I can gather "cases" began to rise at the beginning of July . Hospitalisations and deaths have continued to fall . So either we are gaining immunity , the virus is weakening or the tests are naff .
Or perhaps younger people are getting it and not needing hospital and not dying.
The hospitalisations tend to lag behind cases increasing. We had an article on Friday about deaths rising for the first time in a while in NI.

I'll also add we have a spike in people dying in care homes recently. If we have capacity in hospitals why aren't they going to hospital to be treated?
