Which kills 1.5 million every year- its TB
Corona Virus is a not even on this scale and the world has badly overreacted.
Trump (for once ) is right when he warned the cure could be worse than the desease.
The knock on from recession will kill more than the virus itself. The world has gone mad.
Over 90% of uk hospitalised virus cases are aged 70 + and 90% of deaths are from this group
Under 50s - a 2 % chance of needing a hospital anda tiny tiny risk of dying - and a big chunk of these are vulnerable because of existing chronic conditions.
Its blindingly obvious - just lockdown the old and let the rest get on with life as usual - ok social distance - where possible - but get back to work.
So - everyone of state pension age - isolate - vulnurables under that - isolate.
Simples- now get on with it

tb is a mass killer in poore countries.
here in the uk it was one of the main killes but is at low levels now, but with worry it is finding ways of defeating antibiotics. i think trump got corona virus mixed up with tb in his rant the other night. |

Which kills 1.5 million every year- its TB ---------- Yes - and TUBERCULOSIS - had been ERADICATED in THIS country - until ... The bloody EU incorporated ALL those EASTERN EUROPEAN countries - and allowed them to start coming here. |

Its becoming more baffling by the second this thing
All of a sudden all affected countries are seeing "considerable drops" in hospital admissions and deaths and new cases  all at the same time  Its almost as if we are all on the same script route... |
|
By:
And now there's been this oil collapse today which is now mainstream top news
Couldn't make it up, I can't wait to see how they spin themselves out of this one, this thing was pretty ambitious maybe a bit to ambitious |
|
By:
SS - but you're well aware that we've already been prepped for a second and/or third wave...so there'll be no change.
|
|
By:
It's the next stage that's the concern...when they roll out a 'magical' vaccine!
|
|
By:
Gibberish most likely not until the autumn in my opinion
IF we do see a 2nd wave, the vaccine might be easy to sell without it People will want their lives back quickly |
|
By:
The 2nd wave is harder to sell surely? they just about got away with this one because of how quickly they pushed it out, it was like out of nowhere but that wont be as easy 2nd time around
Viruses? they don't exist outside the body never mind hiding in the bushes for 3 months |
|
By:
Personally I think they'll sell a long mild shut down, its safer for them to keep people believing they are still in a shut down rather than open it back up and then bam!!! 2nd wave hits, because no one will be sick when they are let out
Wait until autumn and then even the sheep will be like - like wait a minute this is the normal winter colds/flus |
|
By:
I'm as bewildered as you mentioned.
I say to myself that surely people will eventually wake from their collective coma? PS - hiding in the bushes  |
|
By:
you'll be waiting a long time for that gibberish

Wonder
Its being played for time, they have the vaccine now it went live on the 31st March |
|
By:
the all seem to be flattening the curve at the same time,yet they say everyday we are 3 weeks behind France who are 2 weeks behind Italy who are behind Japan who are behind China and all the curves were flattened today.
 what is going on?And everyone's 5 point plans are working ,wonder what will happen tomorrow,will the curves be mentioned or will the "we havent reached the peak" saying be back in action. |
|
By:
Who knows brass
I personally think we'll see a rise tomorrow back to 700+ But its quite baffling to watch to play out, Sky have stopped reporting the true figures again as well, like they reported 200 died on this date 100 on this date but that's vanished again now |
|
By:
Looks like the tide has started to turn touch wood. Hopefully the figures continue to look good over the next few days. There was a guy on Newsnight earlier saying that we need to move quickly to get a plan in place by Friday to start gradual easing of lock down during next week. The press are now going to be on this big-style and I think the Govt will be on the back foot. The problem is the Govt has already committed to 3 weeks of lock down and Boris isn't around to make any big changes. We are just drifting along as per usual.

We have so much to learn about this virus.
We are seeing more and more examples of huge numbers of people not showing any symptoms. At a Boston homeless shelter 146 people tested positive and all were considered asymptomatic. Lots of work to do. |
