Funnily enough, there are plenty of scientists looking at this very thing. I believe it's gravity which is preventing a unified theory of everything. Plenty of smart folk thought it might even be a pseudo-force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you pointed out @bazil85, more contact means more infection.... doh! https://gdspoliticalanimal.blogspot.com/2020/08/cuomo-ny-lockdown-may-have-caused-some.html?m=1 Cuomo (a politician not a scientist or remotely linked to the expertise regarding a virus pandemic) speculates. The article includes such quotes as "I don't even know" and from an "opinion section" and "there is a theory" If only someone could poke some holes in this post, doh!

Sue Denim Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Only 50,000 beds out of 141,000 in hospitals in England were occupied in April. That’ll explain the huge spike in deaths in April then https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/covid-19-hospital-activity/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALBIONSAINT Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Wuhan getting back to normal, 11 million population, all tested , no cases since mid-May. Could this be Scotland in a few months time? It certainly gives a little optimism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Customers can be entitled bastards sometimes. Ordering stuff for collection, you go to the effort of looking it out, packaging it and putting it to one side......and the buggers don't collect. Then you've got all those scumbags who won't pay their invoices. That's before we talk about shops having to deal with arseholes ordering stuff knowing in advance that they'll return 90% of it. We moved to a "pay up front" model years ago and we've never had a moments trouble ever since. These pubs and restaurants are going to have to learn really fast. Whoever said "the customer is always right" obviously never ran a business 😀 Edited August 19, 2020 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlucifer Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 The eat out to help out is a ridiculous waste of resources. It's targeted at people who could well afford to eat out without help. given they've been stuck at home and given the length of queues outside the drive ions at the likes of MacDonalds it's clear people would have been desperate to get out if they had the cash. It's those families who are struggling to put food on their own table who are in need. This money should have been put to better use.

Alternatively, go an educate yourself about the aims of that scheme. As for those people in need, the government have been paying people to sit at home for months and have significantly increased things like tax credits and universal credit. The government have done OK during this so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They believe in trickle down economics and are happy to maintain a level of unemployment that suffocates the ambitions of the working man. They had no alternative to paying this money as there was no way they could do otherwise without causing a mass revolt over forcing people to isolate. They have been behind the curve at all times with this pandemic. They now have the audacity to give money to employers, a lot of whom could quite easily afford to fund their own revival while ignoring those who really have suffered. You know. Those who no longer have a job. Those who have been thrown on the scrapheap by unscrupulous employers who have used this situation to "restructure". Anyone who believes this government has done all they have out of some sort of benevolent angle needs their head examined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
