Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

But if hospitalisation and deaths don't climb then it's not an issue.

Of course it's an issue. We're looking to get case rates down too. Not the least reason being long covid.

I'll be keeping an eye on that Merseyside infection rate after the Liverpool Covid19 spreading pilot programme all last week.

If there's a spike, we'll know why it's happened.

I bet you will be rubbing your hands with glee if there is even a tiny spike in new cases...

I dont see how we can expect a spike from last week to this. There's nowhere open indoors yet and the case rate in Liverpool is down, and has been consistently going down for weeks and weeks. If in the next two weeks a spike happens then that's at least proof that it's not the way forward as a method (no masks / no social distancing) regardless of hospitalisation.

We had a spike last week down here. A 100% increase. Up to 4 cases, in a week.

BTW, I totally agree with you re SD/masks. Would have little issue if that continued.

Another numb nuts remark from a Tory facilitator.

Haven’t seen any hospitalization data

I think the four letters SINO gives the game away......

 

[davek]

Haven’t seen any hospitalization data

"Officials at the press conference gave little detail on what could be behind the infection surge other than to say people were taking fewer precautions against the virus than before and the surge may be due to celebrations after Easter."

The reason we need to see the idiot May 17th indoor openings of pubs and restaurants stopped.

We will see a huge surge here before the end of May.

What goalposts have I moved?

Every single goalpost that has ever been manufactured since the dawn of time.
