Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

You mightn't have seen it personally, but you're not suggesting there hasn't been mass gatherings in a number of settings up and down the country are you? That would be ridiculous.

All I’m saying is that these people represent a tiny minority of the population. The vast majority of people in this country have played ball along and continue to do so.

However this isn’t sustainable indefinitely, as people just won’t have it.

Which is why there has to be a better way than :

Lockdown
Open up
Lock down
Open up

Do the Hokey Kokey and turn around

Covid quarantine breakers: 'It was selfish but I don't regret it'

Polling by the BBC suggests a hardcore minority would break the rules - Alice was one of them.

www.bbc.co.uk

She didn't quarantine when she got back from Spain...but she was responsible because she didn't meet her grandparents...but visited the rest of her family...who obvioulsy never have contact with her grandparents.

Selfish thick get.

Go back to March and the beginning of this pandemic strategy...that was the plan announced by the government at the time. Lockdown and then release the lock - a couple or more times. To save lives. There should be no surprise in this.

Zero hour,minimum pay is more of a danger than some ketwiggers partying on Formby beach,most people in those contracts can't afford to self isolate,I know a few people who work in care homes,as cleaners and in hospitality that have said they cant or wouldnt take time off if they showed symptoms,2 weeks with no money and its a case of not paying rent or no food and electricity

Got myself ahead of the restrictions with Boris Covid Law Bingo generator...

But...

We are talking about a virus that kills the very old and sick in society?!

Like literally anything else?

I'm not sure what you are getting at, everything kills the old and sick, not just covid-19.

I'm not sure how you can dismiss the fact of this? Literally that is reality , we vaccinate the old and sick for the flu for the exact same reason as we should protect them for this. Otherwise they die from it, just like this?

I've said it before but people seem to forget reality these past 6 months. This isn't the first virus to kill the old and sick in society!

You never heard of long covid? It is a real phenomenon and doesn't care about age.

Besides that, you consistently talk up the over 80 age group as if people younger than that aren't dying from Covid19.

" But they`ll manage though, as the economy will eventually resets itself "

The gospel according to Dave the good Socialist.

No, they haven't been saying it because they want to maximise the economic activity in the interim between lockdowns...which is what many of us have been railing against.

Nevertheless, that was and always has been the plan.

Anything can have long term effects to health. Isolating it to covid is again dismissing the world around us. A simple chest infection can have much bigger represcussions if you are unlucky. I know someone in my lifetime that a minor issue In a healthy person led to them being quadrapalegic. Someone who eats well, have no health issues , keeps fit can drop dead at any point.

This is real life, anything can happen to anyone from any sort of illness. Focusing on covid as a feat factor is probably dismissing the sheer low chance of this long covid actually affecting people.

Like I keep saying, the numbers of 44 and under have barely changed this year , by like 3 or 4 a week. Compared to 80 plus who has seen thousands at its worst.

The average age of death is 82 from covid. Which means the vast majority of deaths happen around that , as you know.

As much as people like you keep saying what about this , what about this etc.

Eventually the statistics that are running all of this will have to be looked at in perspective. Otherwise it's madness to keep destroying the country and ignoring the facts of it.

Because here's the unpopular comment. It may be more serious as a virus , it may have a small chance of longer effects , it may be mutating etc.

However according to the figures , it is still acting like the flu does in society. Killing the old and sick and not killing the young and generally healthy, even if it makes you feel worse than the flu.

You keep talking up the economy, I'll keep taking about saving lives.

That suits me.

1 million dead.

FFS mate, give it a rest on playing this virus down.

I’ve traveled the length and breadth of the country since everything got lifted and bar a load of stoned young lads camping and partying in the Lakes one night, I’ve yet to see any of this irresponsible behaviour that you somehow manage to see every day.

Just log onto Facebook lol

Then they are irresponsible beyond belief. And that's not to ignore the position they've been put in by lack of testing and lack of support financially if they need time off.

The clue is in the word 'carer'.
