WeeBud Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 3 hours ago, Ayrshire Saints said: Out a walk on this glorious day on the Ayrshire coast, gets to the entrance to the first golf club to see a bus load unloading the days "cargo" along with their clubs from a bus based in Penicuick. That's pushing the ok to travel for exercise (clearly 2 cases of Bud was required in their "regime") well beyond the limits, they are on a jolly ! That's disappointing AS as i had heard that the municipal courses in each of the Ayrshire areas were requiring proof of address showing they were locals before play. I can't imagine many private clubs have tee availability for non-members at the moment especially at weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 As expected the lockdown is now having a downward effect on hospital cases with the virus, I'm sure we'll all be glad when this works it's way through to deaths.

Absolutely, that's what we all want right now, the death rate to come down. Sadly the way recording works and actually showing symptoms of the virus, we still might see a bump regarding the pre English lockdown week where too many muppets treated it like children and the last days of a school holiday Hopefully we do see the benefits because right now unless there's a fall, the averages will see us hit 80,000 deaths by around the 10th - 12th January as I predicted (too much ridicule from a tiny minority) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised too as the club in questions car park was overflowing, so much so the bus was parked 100m or so down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Denim Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 The shape of the covid deaths graph in the “second wave” not being matched in the excess deaths graph. Any excess deaths at the moment are collateral deaths caused by the lockdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Denim Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) UNICEF predicts that lockdown will kill 1.2 million children. Lockdown is a policy pushed by the middle class left working from home on full pay at the expense of the working class, at the expense of the poor and at the expense of the elderly and the vulnerable. Its a policy that is killing many times more people than it will save. They are killing people and destroying livelihoods for the sake of their virtue.

Sue Denim Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Health Secretary Matt Hancock said England's national restrictions have been “really tough” on everyone – but the “good news is they've been working” and the virus is back under control He cited a study from Imperial College London which says coronavirus infections in England have fallen by about a third during lockdown Post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy Cases in the PCR false positive pseudo second wave were on the way down before even tiers began, never mind lockdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Denim Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) The PCR false positive pseudo epidemic explained by Dr Mike Yeadon, former Chief Scientific Officer at Pfizer https://lockdownsceptics.org/the-pcr-false-positive-pseudo-epidemic/ I don’t agree with him on a asymptomatic transmission however. Asymptomatic transmission was the main driver in my opinion. It was all over in the summer though, restrictions came too late to make any difference. Lockdown is an assault on the working class by the middle class left. Edited November 30, 2020 by Sue Denim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But critics have charged that the success came at too high a price, after the country experienced some of the highest death rates in Europe. Switzerland’s cantons were allowed to decide their own restrictions at a regional level.

These cantons took additional measures. The Swiss special way has worked. The slowdown has reversed the infection trend. Now we have to stick with it.” Thomas Steffen, a Swiss government medical advisor, told a press conference last week. But he cautioned that the figures showed the effectiveness of targeted regional lockdowns. To me it's an endorsement of lockdown measures, with a misleading headline to please the gammonistas who read The Telegraph.

They went through a tough time, like most countries, but are, at this point, seeing dramatic drop in numbers WITHOUT Draconian measures. By not unfairly killing businesses that actually contribute very little to the spread. Edited December 1, 2020 by faraway saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dr Yeadon was correct, then false positive should be high (they are not actually false positives, they are non infections positives with no virus but with fragment RNA in his explanation) , and repeat tests of those false positive should also be positive. However, in cohorts where repeat tests are taken (Care home workers and residents, previously positive patients awaiting hospital discharge) we find that after around the expected period 10-14 from first positive test, we get these all these cases giving negative results.
