Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Sorry Bruce. Guess you never heard of a day off.


Is that really hard to comprehend?

Average age of death 81.5.

Average age of covid death 82.5.

So no connection there?

Average age of death in the North West is apparently is about 80.

Van-Tam is the biggest fraud going.

We should Van Damme in charge for a month

Top 30 MSOA's by cases - I wonder what most of these have in common?

View attachment 104153

They are using cases per 100,000 and the areas affected have huge student populations a proportion.

Anderson confirming that restaurants will not only stay open, but they will extend opening hours to 10.30 from 10pm.

I'm sorry, but how on earth is that logical when pubs and betting offices and gyms are being shut down?

The virus doesn't enter restaurants then?

Great name though Johnny Van Tam.

His mates call him Jon Claude Van Tam.

Then why is all age groups being locked down if the information proves there is very little risk for most ?

Can't just lock up older people as they are more likely to vote Tory!

As Father Ted once said, "funny how you get more right wing as you get older."

73% are 75 and over. So very much age specific


This is some of the real information being ignored.

So only 27% are under 75? Which is nearly a third...

 

[Kenshin]

So only 27% are under 75? Which is nearly a third...

But to that 27%, how many are not far from that?

The article doesn't say but the official numbers suggest that puts them between 55-74 then

With again a bulk of them being 65-74

Because in a restaurant, you're sat in a designated seat for the duration of your visit - and the seating has been distanced in a certain way to avoid social interaction.

Oh, and you need to wear a mask whenever you stand up

Clear enough?

They may well be close, but we've gone from it being all really old people to now a near third being sub 75.

People still interact and most buildings around me, restaurants included, are very small spaces with little leeway on the 1meter rule. Surely restaurants will just become busier also. And what even defines a restaurant, every pub serves food and was told to do table service?

Also people are pretty grim. See it every day in hospitality.

It’s a lot, lot easier to social distance in a restaurant.

It’s funny how people can make comparisons with New Zealand because it suits their agenda.

Make a comparison with Sweden and you get all sorts of abuse.

I'm puzzled that Sweden is held up as this one great example of herd immunity working. They have one of the highest death rates in Europe and their economy is no better than anyone else's at the moment. Denmark and Norway have done far better

No, it's not. They serve alcohol and social distancing is a problem in those settings AND people's voices get louder as a night wears on. Also, it's indoor, it's people in a confined space, it's people seated for hours in the same place, it's an airborn virus.

All the criteria that Van Tam just stated were reasons pubs and betting offices are getting shut apply to restaurants....which is why they were shut until July.
