I suppose this will show Shull and the other (probably his aliases) posters on here that it’s not just a seasonal flu that we have nothing to worry about and why wear a mask, it’s a global conspiracy........

faraway saint Posted December 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 I expect the cases to rise significantly around Christmas with the frenzy of shopping and partying. It seems the safest place is to be working on a soap, they have been working for months with no/little outbreaks. It seems people can prevent the spread if they follow the basic rules.

The chief medical officer has said that the second wave was caused by people going on holidays abroad.

Even more recent, 100,000 by the end of the year. Come back when you find an ounce of common sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russian Saint Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 I don't remember reading or hearing him saying that. Can you show or provide a link to anything like you said. [emoji54]From The National newspaper.Giving more detail on the Sage report, Professor Jason Leitch, the national clinical director, said the first lockdown successfully eliminated around the majority of 300 strains of the virus. He said Covid-19 infections in the second wave were caused by new strains introduced to Scotland from other parts of the UK or abroad: “Once as a society we are allowed to travel again, we brought fresh new strains into Scotland, which started our second wave.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also worth pointing out that if we had an influenza that killed around 0.5% of cases we'd be going into lockdown for that. What every you want to say about it 78,000 excess deaths is not something to be ignored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've constantly used Worldometer, just over 60,000. I'm not getting into another "these figures" versus "these figures" debate.

That'll be the one where China have posted 2 Covid deaths since mid-April - reliable is not the word that springs to mind. Must be in double figures now but I'll ask again why would GPs & the ONS lie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me just try and understand what you’re trying to say? You think that Covid is similar to the flu, so given that we don’t put restrictions in place every year for flu we should all be able to go outside and get on with our normal lives? unfortunately as was believed from the beginning of the crisis, this virus has different effects on different people. We now know that your Genes can determine whether you get very mild symptoms or very severe symptoms. Given we don’t yet know how to screen for the people who will have severe symptoms are you advocating that we all just look at it as a big health lottery and take a ticket?
