London nearing Herd Immunity ?

Interesting stuff for sure
It's been allowed to rip across London with public transport and airports open
Citizens of London have been exposed to all the various strains of Chinese Flu as foreigners from around the globe have arrived

If lock down suppression was limiting new cases would expect it to have a more uniform effect, OR to have the opposite effect from what we are seeing in the numbers; that the worst area in March would be the last to come under control because areas with few cases would have been prevented from catching up by their lock down.

Seems the virus just runs it's course until infected people are just running into people that have already been infected. And that is now happening in London.

Looks like a Boris masterstroke, using London as the test centre

Yes, all the handshaking paying off

Maybe London can come out of lock down ahead of everywhere else

this is fcuk all compared to the blitz..says my 85 yr old mother..on the whiskey with me now

exactly get on with it ffs

the figures that suit the agenda will be released

whannkers in there safe little towns..sh1te scared Cockernees are gonna visit them  FAKE REFUGEES WELCOME but not COCKERNEES....

exactly get on with it ffs
says the guy in ruddy Thailand!

Surely London lockdown was first, the areas slow to lock down like North East High in list

Another week may show much better news and better indication of reasons.

Lots of brexit areas high on the list!

HOW many muslims in your town/city hamish.... 0

I thought March 23rd was the day everyone locked down.

Can't recall if different areas had different measures before then, thought it was all centralized advice.

I want to go back this summer, don't want to be stuck indoors all the time

Lockdown was officially the same day all over uk

However people were advised to stay out of pubs before pubs were closed.


Those areas earliest hit by corona saw more folk stay home before official
lockdown.

Might explain the results, might not, but possible explanation.

At Monday’s daily briefing, Witty estimated an infection rate of 10% for London and 6 to 8% for the rest of the country.

OMG...central Wigan here. Just bought a pint of frozen maggots for my furloughed fishing trip on L/L canal tomorrow.
Think I will give it a miss, rife here

perhaps I'm wrong but he has not inspired much confidence.

Yep. And 10-20% herd immunity could kick in according to the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine paper...

Lets hope London have led the way and done it!

Were you conceived in a Gin Palace on the Old Kent Road wounded?

No one knows the true numbers to anything

They release what they wanna release

Who - "It may never go away"... well if that's the case lets all just get back to our day then? oh no can't do that

Its beyond ridiculous, one minute there's a vaccine breakthrough, the next there's no vaccine at all, then there might be one by "October", then its not until next year

"it may never go away" to "herd immunity" can be achieved

Fack right off

My guess would be North of 20% in London

My Old Man also says this is nothing like the war. He recalls watching the Battle of Britain from a vantage point on the South Downs!

Nothing like the war? Nothing compared to the Blitz?

My God the people in this country are pathetic if they think this is hardship. I am sure there is hardship out there, big financial worries even hunger for some but I might suggest if your children are not picking out grains of rice in the sand or looking for food to eat in rubbish dumps you might not know what real worry and hardship is.

We are so lucky in this country. Even  the air  is relatively fresh and the water is clean. I have absolutely no time for whinges who think this is tough.

Those old people born just before the war are tough though.

People claiming they can’t  cope with being locked in with their own kids! Can you imagine if we sent kids from the city out into the Country!

  Me Mum said no ... but she met my Dad in the Thomas a Becket

Harlesden in Brent had the highest death tolls in the country up to April 17th

.. but she met my Dad in the Thomas a Becke

Did he knock her out? although to be fair to the girls I bet they could throw the 'ammer to defend themsleves or certainly a tidy slap if they were ladies!

shes 1 of 13  kids

Oldham is the poorest town in England.  It was one of the worst areas affected on April 17th

dailyt mail running a story on Monday that 3.7% of population had,had the virus,same paper today running a story 25% of population has had virus,whats a difference of 15 million between friends,and these people expect you to make what could be live threatening decisions based on this advice

Could you imagine the World Wars being fought under the spotlight of today’s  24 hour, hand wringing, media, “why weren’t more underground shelters provided Mr Churchill, you had ample warning” ? why haven’t we enough Fighter pilots ? Why is the food situation so grave?  Have these homes our children are being evacuated to been inspected,
Is it safe for small boats to cross the channel, should ordinary members of the public be risking their lives this way, isn’t it the Government’s responsibility, how many lives could be saved by surrendering Mr Churchill.

none of my mums family were evacuated in the war and  they lived near tower bridge... Mental

some people been a bit picky like to think weve moved on a tad in 75 years,if hunt had acted on his own exercise from only 3 years ago, maybe 20,000 lives would have been saved,
whats the saying, no point in growing older if you don't learn anything,every day is a school day,

My mum was evacuated, lived in south London, she was one of six kids, her and two brothers went, she said she had a great time, stayed with a couple and their children in a
large Manor House.

Her brothers weren’t so lucky, ended up on some s**ty little farm in Kings  Lynn, where they worked them like slaves, my grandmother managed to get up there to see them after 6months, was so disgusted by the state of the boys and where they were kipping, she brought them straight back home with her.

Corona virus ain't like the Germans and don't have spies listening to our plans.

Questioning of Churchill obviously limited for a reason

Seems as if Churchill knew what he was doing too
