As far as old folks go (including my own parent), it will get to the point (probably not far off) where I'd be more worried about the lockdown killing them than the virus killing them. If they are not able to get out and about and stay active, not able to see their kids and grandkids, not able to see their friends, not able to watch sport, not able to go to a cafe/pub/restaurant, not able to go to shops - in summary, not able to do any of the things they live for and with no end in sight, then I fear the worst. At least they won't be included in the covid stats though ...

The professor isn't nutty.
He has a different view to bbc1/sky and its followers/believers Those stats are over what time period? |

There could well be more than one possibly mutated strain doing the rounds.
Without restrictions it could be absolute carnage. The economy, or what's left of it, may depend on starving the virus (or its bastard children) of oxygen, via distancing. The so-called Spanish Flu killed 50/90 million approx because the populations didn't know what was hitting them or measures to mitigate it. I just feel that Herd immunity is a b0ll0x approach here. |

They ain't over a 24 hour period, I said Monday there'd be an increase yesterday, today and tomorrow, Friday might see a small rise or drop with Saturday being another increase, Sunday being a small drop with Monday being another big drop
You can't verify deaths over a 22 hour period ffs, there's needs to be a post mortem and coroner report ?? If they are just saying "corona virus" and then marking it down as covid 19 that's absurd, its like living in la la land But they are hiding bodies |

And when attempting to prolong the life of the "frail and elderly" costs the lives of the young and healthy, what then?

This article is quite interesting (and depressing) about how long vaccine based immunity can last.
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/04/how-long-do-vaccines-last-surprising-answers-may-help-protect-people-longer From a matter of just 10s of days for some strains of flu, to many years for other things. And the chart it shows for flu near top isn't even a 50% barrier to catching it even when just done. Let's just hope a vaccine if/when it comes lasts a long time, there aren't lots of mutations, and there aren't a huge amount of nutters who won't take it as they think evil lizard folk are trying to kill us all or control our minds.... I wouldn't want to price that market. |
