Thought that it has been demonstrated that it thrives around 4 Deg C?

Anywayz, we don't get much freezing in these parts nowadays, so dream on on that score. I think the main reasons for winter being bad, as stated above a few times, is close proximity, lack of fresh air, lack of sun and vit D.

Yeah about 3 or 4 apparently, but that was based on weather trends at the time in certain areas, so not an exact science as such, as in there hasn’t been studies that show it dies at X - and the infection rates in warm countries shows its happy anywhere really.

Anyone mentioned yet that they've just reduced the total deaths figure by 5000? And upon further investigation is expected to drop further...

Only people who believe a word the Tory death cult say.

And studies regarding abattoir breakouts, but like I said, sociological factors play a part.

What is it, an arbitrary cut-off point @ 28 days after infection? Could be dangerous completely ignoring knock on effects.

UK's COVID-19 death toll lowered to 41,000 after methodology change

Britain's official death toll from the COVID-19 pandemic was lowered by over 5,000 on Wednesday because the government adopted a new way of counting fatalities after concerns were raised that the old method overstated them.

Oh, so an additional stat for 60days too.,.additionally, have to have had a positive test prior to death to qualify?
Better just leaving it to the medics to ascertain whether complications were caused by Covid imo.

Anyway, excess deaths.

Agree may be a better number of the overall effect of the pandemic as it would likely include people that didn't seek care for MI, stroke, cancer, etc not just those whose death is related to the virus infection.

Thought the Uber TV advery regarding masks is good.

It'll be in the Mail and the Sun tomorrow that Boris has single handedly resurrected 5k people and the people will lap it up.

Almost 100 new cases in Ireland again today.

Fair enough really - until the scientists can figure out the long term effects of the virus its fair to assume the majority die within a few weeks of infection.

Yes mate - still not as much work available as before all this happened and social distancing has made things more tricky regarding meeting clients before and during shoots but just glad to be out the house again really and back to a bit of normality.

Did you say you was retired or you still going?
