Main Coronavirus / Covid-19 Discussion Thread

While I don't agree with you on much regarding this subject, I feel this is terrible double standards, almost as if it's one rule for the common people and another for the ruling elite...

However, having said that, I guess it may be a security issue having people wandering around parliament with face masks on, which would make them difficult to identify.

surely they would be easily identified as bona fide mp's by the constant stream of drivel emanating from beneath said mask...

Unfortunately it is quite easy to spout shit, with or without a mask, as the Covid sub-forum has ably demonstrated.

Keep up. I didn’t mean the protest that was actually in Trafalgar Square not Westminster. I know your condition makes you confused and you conveniently ignored the post above but It seems many MPs (you know those people that work in Westminster) agree with me that our rights are being undemocratically destroyed. Unlike you who thinks everything is hunky dory.

Any chance you could chuck in a quick "wakey wakey" or "wake up" in your next missive? I'm getting withdrawal symptoms

You shouldn't be so harsh about your posts.

MPs are on a basic of £81932, so 5 figure gigs, and how did MPs ruin football?

Am I missing the point here, wasn’t the whole point of the much maligned graph that it depicted what might happen if we did nothing, which clearly from all the bitching and moaning on here about restrictions is not the case...

I think what they are trying to say is, the measures that have just recently been put in place from that announcement, we shouldn't be seeing that dramatic an effect from them just yet.

Understood, but isn’t it the case that the tested cases only make up a percentage of the actual cases... the unknown unknowns.

I believe it was potential total infections that the graph was based on and not positive tests.

While the number of cases has dropped over the last 3 days the numbers in hospital haven’t.

I think the scenario was referring to positive tests rather than just the estimated infections because the baseline figure was the 3000 or so and rising positive tests at that point. That being the case what we are seein now is a don't count your chickens type positive

I shan’t count my chickens, as I don’t even have any eggs...

It does seem as if some of the figures are plucked out of the air, and it was definitely a scare tactic to make some of the **** wits out there think about their actions, not that it seems to have worked!

When they are completely unrealistic and made up it has the opposite effect.

That’s correct, being told my family of 7 can’t meet in my house just makes me think fxxk that... not only that in mid Sussex we have 9 cases per 100,000 people so a very low infection rate.

and look at the deaths from all countries compared to cases. Nothing like the first lot in June. Very very low and this is on from the 2 weeks they say to wait. Nothing like it was back over easter anywhere . Baffling why we are under such restrictions really. I saw a stat of deaths and covid still below " accidents " . Crazy.

Cases seem to be the scare stick now though .

Any chance of posting the stats of all causes of death?

 

[Mellotron]

While the number of cases has dropped over the last 3 days the numbers in hospital haven’t.

The number of people being admitted has, so you'd hope the overall numbers in hospital will also follow.

A short data set of course, so can't read too much into it just yet.
