Re: Coronavirus update

Can anyone explain why the buffoon Drakeford has been saying for weeks we will ease the lockdown when five conditions are met, they all were last week as far as I’m aware ( fall in pos cases, r rate 0. Something, nhs is almost empty nevermind coping, nightingale a waste of 10 million in Cardiff alone bla bla so what did he base his ridiculous decision on ? Was it just as many say to try and piss Westminster off?
Anyway, I’ve not seen traffic like today since before lockdown, very busy by fidlas rd allday, people out all over the place.....has everyone just said f it?

The lockdown has been eased.

Barely, here. Cowbridge Rd earlier was almost indistinguishable from pre lockdown, for cars at least though

It is always very quiet in the evenings because no pubs or restaurants open, and I think its busier in the day because more people are either going back to work or thinking of excuses to go out in their cars thinking they are still self isolating because they are alone.

Re: Coronavirus update

I heard a whisper that some of the "mainliners" on here are turning up in full hazmat suits. Obviously to avoid the omnipresent cctv of the repressive state and not to catch 5G rather than for reasons of personal safety around mixing with similar minded free thinkers who are blessed with the true path. They just hope that too many don't turn up though as they will need to splinter as illuminati groups have waiting lists!

Organ Morgan, clothed in black belt hazmat, will still probably distance himself from the the masses on his trip in and out on the NO 95 bus to the protest!

I heard he's borrowing Sludge's gimp suit for the occasion

Coronavirus may never go away, World Health Organization warns - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-52643682

Lockdowns without an end date is what's required along with austerity measures to reflect the huge decline in economic activity that impact on government revenue streams. Ending the triple-lock State Pension guarantee is one idea being floated via a convenient leak to gauge public opinion. Another decade of public sector pay freezing is a racing certainty and that's without factoring in the fallout from the expected COVID-19 second wave this autumn followed by the real possibility of many subsequent ones as the WHO warned.

But whatever privations may be ahead those of us who place the lives of those most vulnerable to COVID-19 above that of the nation's and our personal finances shall endure a greatly reduced standard of living without complaint for we will reap what we helped sow with fortitude.

I am prepared to starve for the cause, and shall hum the Dambusters March until the very end.

More conditioning from the WHO:-

Coronavirus could take FIVE YEARS to bring under control warns WHO's chief scientist - https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/coron...G3h?li=BBoPWjQ

Here's the juicy bit from the article:-

Soumya Swaminathan, the World Health Organisation's (WHO) chief scientist, told the FT's Global Boardroom digital conference: 'I would say in a four to five-year timeframe, we could be looking at controlling this.'

Five years?! Kinell, we'll all be queuing at food banks long before then.

Apparently there is a market on 4chan for a new StayAlert VPN that makes it look you are broadcasting out of North Devon rather than a bunker in South Glamorgan

Re: Coronavirus update

I don't think it's quite as simple as money v people. Life for almost everyone has been hugely affected by the restrictions that have been imposed in a bid to conquer Covid-19 despite the fact that the vast majority of the population stand little or no chance of either falling seriously ill or dying as a result of the virus.

By and large, I think most people have thus far taken the restrictions in good faith and have reacted pretty well under the circumstances. However, it's blatantly obvious that society simply can't go on operating like this indefinitely. The economy is clearly a huge factor in how things will work going forward, but so is the way in which we want to live our lives.

Dear me, your resolve after less than eight weeks of restrictions to combat COVID-19 isn't on the wane but collapsing.

'However, it's blatantly obvious that society simply can't go on operating like this indefinitely' is an inch away from sedition.

Weak characters during WW2 were quick to propose seeking peace terms with Adolf whenever his bombers appeared overhead. You're of the same ilk.

We will continue to resist this invisible enemy for however long is necessary in obeyance with what's prescribed by our democratically elected leaders whatever the cost, and we shall do so with stoicism.

Saving granny trumps all other considerations, which includes Britain's economic well being along with the employment status of you and everyone else.

Defeatists can bugger off.

Senydd... "stay home".

Senydd... "ok, we're now relaxing rules a bit".

I assume he'll be gone like those in Scotland and England?

Depends how important they think he is, Jenrick kept his ministerial post after seemingly breaking the rules. As usual one rule for us and one for them.

Jenrick delivered medication and food to elderly parents.

Gething... went for a family outing.

Bit of a difference.

Re: Coronavirus update

Taken from the Guardian's rolling coverage this morning;-

"A new study published this week in the International Journal of Clinical Practice suggests that more than one in four people in the UK are likely to have been infected already by the coronavirus.

The study, by researchers from the University of Manchester, Salford Royal and Res Consortium, is the first to use case data from 144 local authorities on the number of people infected in their areas. From this data, the researchers calculated the R-value - the number of people infected by one person with Covid-19 – within each area.

The data shows, they say, that more than 25% of people in the UK could already have had the virus by the second half of April – higher than previously thought.

The researchers said the UK’s R value, which was over three at the start of the outbreak in the middle of March, was now “well below 1”. This tallies with data published by Public Health England, showing that the overall UK R-value is 0.7 with variation from 0.4 in London to 0.8 in Yorkshire and the north-east of England.

Dr Adrian Heald from the University of Manchester, one of the researchers, said:

Covid-19 is a highly infectious condition and very dangerous for a small group of people. However, a much larger group seem to have low or no symptoms and have been unreported.

This study tries to provide an estimate of the number of historic infections – and gives us all a glimmer of hope that there may be light at the end of the tunnel."
