Main Coronavirus / Covid-19 Discussion Thread

Ferguson the bloke that got Boris and the nation to crap themselves with 500 k death toll model to enforce the lockdown has broken the rules twice to meet his lover from a different household. The guy that said it would be disasterous to do so and here we are 9 weeks on not being able to see family members

It happened a month ago, but the press sat on it, to release the 'misdemeanour' on the day the UK announced the highest death toll in Europe.
More cynically known as a dead cat.

Need to keep project fear going

Blatant sexism from Matt Hancock.

Remembering Dr Allin-Khan has been helping in A&E during the Parliamentary recess.

Project fear? You think the government is exaggerating the death toll?

I don't post my feelings on social media as what is going on but I do a lot of research from all opinions and don't just follow the one mantra

ONS publish all the stats down to Local Health Authority level - https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...vation/deathsoccurringbetween1marchand17april

For B&H, there were 46 deaths up to 17th April. Rate is 27/100,000, which is lower than the national average of 36/100,000.

Probably follows from the fact that the population in B&H is comparatively younger than the national average. Number of confirmed cases for B&H stands at 386. We do know that there were a number of deaths at a care home in Hove.

It should be interesting tomorrow. I fully expect a complete lockdown for another 3 weeks

 

[Machiavelli]

To put it crudely, he ****ed his girlfriend and ****ed the country.

Although the people in charge who listened are to blame. A bit of research shows he had form.

Yes, we know you don't like him. And ****ed the country, you're good at hyperbole.
How good are you at distinguishing being modelling a scenario, and making a prediction?

One mantra? There have been 32,000 deaths which is from Office National Statistics. That's the official government site.

You think his participation in this was useful? He’s a scaremonger.

And you can surely see that he’s a hypocrite.

By all other reports, 20 ?

20 ? really

B&H population 290,000

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

20 ? really

B&H population 290,000

Replying to 200 deaths in B and H with covid 19 present as the rule of thumb is 1 in 10 died directly from covid 19

It's 46 to 17th April.

Sir Patrick Vallance said at a press conference that the death figure includes people who hadn’t been tested for Covid-19 which certainly muddies the water.

How many, he didn’t say.

Would you be happy to expand on that, please, Napper?

It is a mantra. Not commenting on whether it is good or bad but you do not need to repeat it a hundred times every day as it loses it's impact and meaning. We get it now and those not following it don't want to

Mantras are words or sounds repeated to help build concentration and focus
