Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[grandjoeblue]

Infection rates are likely continue to rise for another week or so, with hospitalisation lagging two weeks behind.

The worrying issue is that the projections suggest that unlike in April/May we won't see a quick drop in levels, but rather a plateau and slower decrease.

Unfortunately the super variant basically means the measures cannot be reduced until all older/at risk groups are vaccinated.

Why is that it if anyone gets the virus, gets over it but dies within a month, even if it's of something totally different, they go on the stats as a covid death?

So you could have a mild dose of it, shake it off but then say get killed in a road accident a few weeks !ater, you will be you going the list of covid deaths just because you had a positive test in the previous 28 days. It's clear cynical manipulation of statistics for me.

Reading elsewhere on social media it seems plenty of families of deceased people have been annoyed at having covid put on death certificates of their loved ones when they've not even died from that.

Aye traffic deaths are way down the last year or so. Very suspicious.

Its almost like most of the country has been locked down and working from home for 6months.

That's nonsense. Pubs were rammed and restaurants were cramming them in under the numbskull eat out to help out scheme. Shops were open and the insistence on social distancing wasn't there. Holidays: planes chocca with passengers making a mockery of social distancing in airport lounges.

If it wasn't a free for all and back to old normal, it wasn't far off it. And it was left that way until the tiered system came in - which was never enough to nudge behaviour the other way...that's why we face a catastrophe now.

Let's have this right: other societies have this under control. This country and countries like it dont because they are neo-liberal hell holes.

Yet, the stats in the Summer say otherwise.

By the way, just out of interest, what is a neo - liberal hell hole ?

I should perhaps point out I was using the sarcasm font

Covid: Morrisons and Sainsbury's ban maskless shoppers

People refusing to wear face coverings who are not medically exempt will not be allowed to shop inside.

Well done Morrison’s.

Although they must have to deal with kick offs in their car parks with lids from here most days anyway.

That should be the rule everywhere that’s open

“I’m exempt mate”

Hopefully now have to prove that you actually are.

How about the German Banana Reich ?

I thought it was.

All 3 shops that I have reason to use have signs saying Government rules mean a face covering must be used.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Nice to know the last 10 months of this pandemic have not been made use of. All hands on deck for NHS but more like Covid Health Service (CHS).

 

[jaycee]

What medical problems make you exempt from wearing masks?

All the shops have stuck a couple of posters up saying it but none enforce it

They should have private security on the door - Save the staff getting an earful whilst enforcing the rules
