Main Coronavirus / Covid-19 Discussion Thread

Ironically that's an ad hominem. But it's not an ad hominem if I provide examples of Prof. Ferguson's mistakes, which I did. And telling us to lockdown and breaking his own rules is objectively hypocrisy.



Another ad hominem.



Making a difference to what?

I'll try again (the second attempt was my fault: apologies):
-- what is the difference between modelling a scenario, and making a prediction?

The former has an If in front of it. This'll happen IF these possibilities do or don't occur.

That's why Sweden is a good example. They didn't do the things stipulated and still the deaths were vastly lower.

I think the hundreds of thousands he predicted for the UK without a lockdown were just as exaggerated, but it's an unfalsifiable theory, obviously.

Hospitals only

8th: 936
15th: 801
22nd: 791
29th: 610
Today: 449

England 331 (was 445 last week)
Scotland 84 (Scotland’s numbers are worryingly high)
Wales 21
NI 14

Precisely what I thought when I watched Nicola Sturgeon announce the figures earlier. She mentioned this week that the Scottish R was higher than the rest of the UK and maybe that is borne out by the figures?

That’s Ireland’s plan.

Yes sorry about the size. I'm in the middle of finding out the exact source!! It was sent to me by someone in my industry.

The reference to GAA (Gaelic Football) is a clue!

Doesn't mention Guinness

I thought it was to do with the ghz of wave energy being put up to 60? Isn't it the output which is going to change? . Didn't Iran start testing 60ghz 5G somewhere near the end of last March?

Why has Brighton & HOve Council had 5G banned if by what you're saying proves there's nothing wrong with 5G and we shouldn't be concerned of its current rollout whilst we're fighting a deadly, economy crushing, life destroying, war potential virus which is killing hundreds in this city alone.

Your standard light bulb emits a higher wave of energy than mobile phone signals. If you're that worried about it, take out all your light bulbs and live in the dark.

The mention of GAA makes me think that is Irish ?

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Hasn't Brighton & Hove City Council had G5 banned because its not proven safe?

No. Brighton didn't grant planning permission because the council thought the masts were visually unappealing. Heaven knows why they allowed that stupid eyesore on the seafront then.

Cheers bruv. At least they have a plan.

It will save BJ typing one up. He can just cut & paste.

Well Outdoor workers and gardeners have been able to work all the time and so have factories and offices that can maintain social distancing, so we all ready do some of part one and part 2.

Three masts were due to be installed near Hove Park in Brighton, but the council have since said they would create "visual clutter" and damage the area's character,

Nothing about health

good spot (also "km"). its a good plan if bit drawn out imo, hope we're quicker in the easing.
