    Re: COVID - Something has to change

    They keep saying we are 5/6 weeks behind Spain, I see that cases are now going down there after peaking and deaths didn’t go up? They didn’t lock down did they?

    Where have you seen that?

    All news sources say that cases and deaths are still rising in Spain and Madrid is going into lockdown.

    Don’t take anything I read anywhere as gospel but apparently it’s written by oxford scientists so no reason not to believe them....

    No, mate... Where did you read that the "cases are going down there [Spain] and deaths didn't go up"? I'm not arguing that we may be "6 weeks behind" them, just that the cases are going down in Spain as all evidence points to the contrary.

    Here's a link which shows that, although I would have thought scientists might well say they needed more evidence before declaring Spain was over the worst of this late summer/autumn outbreak, the number of daily new cases has dropped markedly in the last week to ten days.

    It also shows that while new cases did climb dramatically for a while, they did not do so to anywhere near the extent talked about at the briefing yesterday - they plateaued at around 10,000 for three weeks before the dip started. As for deaths, they rose well above what had been the norm for a few months, but they.ve not reached anything like spring levels yet.

    I freely admit I sometimes post inaccurate stuff or things I haven’t processed correctly, I’m happy to be corrected, it happens a lot.....

    My boss is currently working from Spain and couldn’t believe the amount of people wearing masks.

    Outdoors, if alone, on the beach. Everyone has one on all the time and you get challenged if you don’t.

    I don’t believe it’s compulsory either just an attitude shift.
