Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Health service in Ireland are now considering asking people who test positive to do their own contract tracing!

So angry that they wasted the whole summer not sorting this out.

Aside from the scientific analysis. My personal opinion, albeit one backed by some anecdotal information and some case study experience, is that the cloth masks give a bit of a false sense of security to people. People wear them poorly, they think it provides complete protection, they don't wash them and they favour wearing a mask over hand washing and distancing. The later are more effective at managing outbreaks of done appropriately*

*I'm not saying don't wear face masks, just wear them applied with other mitigation as well.

We should be grateful I suppose that we have a government who are so strong at communicating what is the best approach

Sorry what?

They’ve been swanning around spreading it in the facilities we were urged to protect, because they have an unwarranted sense of over importance.

Take them outside and shoot them.

please let me know what areas you struggle with in this carefully constructed assessment and plan. Thanks.

Right. You know when people say 'there are no bad questions and we should value everyones input'. They're lying.

Similarly, people are habitual and driven by convenience. If it's cold outside and you have a heater, people (ffs) will gather round the heater.

Seeing this quite a lot. People would rather increase their covid risk than have a bit of a draft

Opening gyms. Have you ever heard such a nunb nuts decision? Record infection rate, highest death toll since June and they allow these places where virus is tramsmitted to re-open.

So, just to recap - the "Tier 3" hard lock down for Very High Risk areas allows pubs to remain open if they serve food, restaurants to stay open, gyms to stay open, retail to stay open, schools to stay open, universities to stay open. So WTF restrictions are in place in reality to stop this runaway virus again? Casinos and leisure centres closed. That's it?

What a 'kin joke these clueless clowns are.

The only serious politicians are to be found in the devolved governments in Scotland, Wales and the north of Ireland.

Sounds like someone has a guilty conscience. I will allow you to keep posting in this thread, but please prefix all your posts with the statement ‘As a NHS worker who decided to flout the restrictions put on the rest of you peasants, causing the deaths of several hundred of thousands of people..’ thanks.

Good news that. A completely ridiculous idea to close people's place of exercise. The clocks change on Saturday night and it's dark at about ten to 5. We need gyms open during the winter

what does darkness have to do with exercise though? that you can't run in the dark? it is actually a lot of fun.

Czech has just announced what is pretty much a national lockdown again after they recorded nearly 12,000 cases yesterday and over 100 deaths, which are pretty much the worst figures in the world. No gathering outside, no shops or anything open except those selling groceries and medicines. They say that the measures are likely to remain in place until the R number is 0.8, which I'm inclined to think will take a few months.

Some people may not feel comfortable running in the dark, particularly women who live in cities. You’re also far more likely to be run over running at night versus daytime.

I work from home. And what restrictions were in place for hospital workers that they ignored?
