Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

That’s a week or two behind.

The number of infections has been falling and continues to fall, looking at real time daily data.

It’s totally normal that the rate of decline would slow over time.

No crisis here.

Got my first vaccine today, the pzifer one, as high risk due to various gene transplants , and no reactions to it ;-) 2nd early next month so pretty happy with french health system

Its bound to.

Anyrate. 4th

More concerning that, in a lockdown still, some areas are seeing increases in infections.

Extreme caution is required now. We cant be bullied into reopening early by a Tory Death Cult like the Covid *Recovery* Group.

The rolling 7 day rate for cases in every single local authority in England is under 100 per 100,000 population

Worthing is over 100, is this counties like Merseyside, Lancashire, East Sussex, West Sussex, Surrey etc?.

Even the daily mail is attacking its reader base.

Two out of five over-80s have broken lockdown since having a vaccine

Office for National Statistics data released today shows that 43 per cent of the elderly have flouted virus-controlling restrictions after having a first dose of the coronavirus vaccine.

Infections are staying stubbornly high after 2 months of lockdown.

They will spike up even more when the schools return. That is no situation to be in.

Ah, you just totally change your point then.

With the summer, warmer weather on the way and levels reducing all the time, the most likely scenario isn't Armageddon or humans being wiped out. That's just sensationalist nonsense and blatant scaremongering..

It also sounds like the sort of b*llocks someone who’s been watching the Stephen Spielberg adaption of “Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds” too many times, then leads themselves to believe it only to then use it to scaremonger.

I never like extremist nonsense from whatever quarter, usually no point in responding as they have their own fanbase on here.

Tbf even the clueless and dangerous anti vaxers have supporters.

We will be making our own soon anyway.

 

[peteblue]

Only somebody with an agenda would act as if the rate of decline slowing was some huge concern.

Surely you can’t be thinking of anyone on here......

In Portland Down... lol lol

Absolutely not worried in the slightest; all cases have been contacted and so have their contacts. Everyone filled in the contact card also, unlike the mystery twunt last week who still hasn’t come forward.

As this one isn’t a “Variant of Concern”, surge or mass testing will not be necessary.
