djchapsticks Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I love the selection of opinions of erm... a whole two epidemiologists on the BBC who are predicting anything between 5 years and 'decades' for a return to normality. It's most definitely off the scale scaremongering. It still amazes me that any credence at all is given to Neil Ferguson who despite being a world renowned expert on epidemiology, has completely f**ked up most of his predictions since the start of this. At the end of the day, experts in their field they may be, but they are looking at numbers and just guessing. Hence the wildly varying predictions of how this pandemic will pan out. I'd be very hesitant to listen to and pin my expectations on the opinion, negative or positive, of any one of them currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) The current gameplan of 'protect all needless deaths and to f**k with cost' will definitely not stick. This will get found out at a point where they realise 1) Its wholly endemic and they will need to account for a number of 'acceptable deaths' per annum as they do with every other endemic disease, that's not being cold, it's just a fact that some people are always going to die of this and not every death is avoidable. 2) A vaccine isn't going to cure this but will likely get it down to a stage where 'acceptable deaths' are at a level we can get back to life. This nonsense that even in the presence of a vaccine, social distancing and facemasks will need to remain for several years is just that. Nonsense. At present, most folk are still playing nice and being courteous on the distancing and face mask points but if and when life goes back to as close to pre covid as is feasible, there will be no longer be valid reason for avoiding others and wearing masks.

Don’t take my word for it. Have a read of this article https://www.varsity.co.uk/interviews/19990 If they are capable of doing that to their own people, then they are more than capable of unleashing a lab created virus. That's got to be the most ridiculous statement I've heard on the topic of coronavirus and I've heard loads, don't think it will be beat the trophy is yours 🏆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he said that with a straight face.I suppose some may be convinced / converted. Leitch gets widely criticised for his initial response to mask wearing before he "toed the party line" but he had a point. Personally I wear it when required, I honestly find it no big deal given how few situations I actually find myself in where they are required but to think they will become the norm or second nature is mental. It's a necessary evil for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how countries in the Far East treated the situation and is reflected in the low deaths. It’s a fcuking disgrace. I agree. I don’t think the stats from the two places you quoted are likely to be accurate recording though. They may be but I’m skeptical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
