Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

I think its the mentality of "It won't happen to me"
People always think it will happen to someone else but not to them, but to be fair if we always thought it would be us in any bad situation we would never do anything at all.

70 million people. 1 or 2 deaths per. day. It's not going to happen to you..

Re: Coronavirus update

All these new cases around Europe, Asia, USA, India a few here but none reporting the high death toll like before. Is the virus strain getting weaker like some have alluded to? Are we just better at treating it or is it hitting a different demographic now who just dont get hospitalised? Be nice to know, Particularly for those still sort of shielding, are people still doing it?

It was suggested that the virus is beinga. less agressive because it doesn't want it's host to die because then it will die itself, and b. maybe following on from that it seems to be infecting a younger age group who don't have such severe reaction to it.
I commented some time ago about the death rate nor really rising, I just hope that scientists and politicians do not start to be less aggressive in dealing with it because it is apparently less dangerous.

Re: Coronavirus update

Big increase in people going for tests in S Wales today but no one seems to know if there is a specific reason.

I wonder if it's teachers getting tested before they go back into the classroom?

It's more like 10 per day actually. Statistics don't mean a damn thing if you are the one in 7 million who dies of COVID! We had a close friend who died 3 years ago from CJD; she had inherited a faulty gene and it was said that this was a 1 in a million chance.

How do they manage to blow so much and why should we foot the bill?

Re: Coronavirus update

But it doesn't matter how good or bad a system is, they cannot force people to use it and comply. Look at Maesteg.

They could have routine and comprehensive testing at airports, even if only for flights from countries on the quarantine list. Other countries do that. There is a cost to it, and it needs organisation (are you listening Dido?), but it would mean only people with positive tests have to quarantine. The economic and social benefits of that would dwarf the costs. The government's arguments against that approach are pathetic.
