There’s been confirmation that there was a case in December in France. That’s it.
There were doctors saying it was in China long before then who were censored by your beloved CCP.
This thing could have been knocking around since October/November in line with the start of the flu season, with cases being called flu at the time.
in the UK there were 8 times as many people hospitalised with flu compared to the previous year. 8 times is a colossal figure, corona virus has been going around for a long time no doubt about it. Both myself and my wife had dry coughs mid December last year lasted a few weeks, our 2 sons had a cough and very sore throats GP diagnosed both with tonsillitis maybe not corona but we never really get sick too often and all at the same time coincidence?.
Once an accurate antibody test comes along we'll be shocked at how many have already had this dose.
Here's an article from 19th of December last year.
 
You don't even understand the basics. You keep saying things like "we've not even left the EU yet". Totally vacuous.
We have not left the EU fully as yet = Fact - that's a basic fact we still pay contributions as we are a leaving member but no as yet = Fact is we are more in than OUT we leave supposedly at the end of the year ......
Following a general election, Parliament ratified the withdrawal agreement, and the UK left the EU at 11 p.m. GMT on 31 January 2020. ... The UK remains subject to EU law and remains part of the EU customs union and single market during the transition, but is no longer part of the EU's political bodies or institutions.

It is not a fact. We left on 31 January 2020. There are now 27 EU member states.

You don't even understand the basics. Your c-19 views are just reheated, rehashed poison from your Brexit thread days "IT'S THE FOREIGNERS!" "WE'VE NOT LEFT THE EU" "WE'VE GOT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, TWO MILLION OF THEM, GIVING US THE VIRUS".

Nasty stuff.
 
Think we're gonna have to move on to the next stage of restrictions.

This is the weekend everyone seems to have had enough. Loads having visitors round. Everyone about in the street. Cars everywhere. Very few seem concerned.

If people arent gonna continue to follow rules then I'm not sure its sustainable. It was never a long term answer anyway.

Next stage has to be how we let people out to do trivial, mundane, day to day activities whenever they want but in a whole new way. It's about letting people have freedom but teaching everyone how to do it safely and a long distance from others. Not gonna be easy but have to start somewhere.

By day to day activities I mean exercise, shopping, working and looking after relatives and friends etc. Not so much leisure activities.

Quite literally says "the UK left the EU".

A whole actual sentence on it.

Sadly the only answer long term is herd immunity - look at South Korea having to shutdown again because new cases keep emerging - its simply not sustainable.

Unless a vaccine is found quickly its sadly got to be a case of shielding the most vulnerable as best we can whilst the rest of us do our best to avoid it but likely will catch it at some stage.

Not quite. They opened clubs way too soon, got a new outbreak, so are closing again.

Lots we can learn from them but we cant go at the same they have.

it also states we are still in the custom union/ single market, and in transition of leaving ..... clutching straws now .....we always had a veto if need be at meetings anyway.....not that it mattered much, but the main trade we are still in the EU that has to be negotiated ......so its no where near us being out of the EU .....
