It won't cost you much, if you're patient Willie!

Green up Willy. You don't seem confident

lots of people have been saying it on here. 600 odd posts saying it and no-one saying they'd actually bet it until it halved in price. funny that.

Downing Street DELAYS decision on ending lockdown: Stay-at-home rules could go on for weeks amid claims coronavirus peak is still a week-and-a-half away - but some ministers hint schools could reopen after Easter

dominic took all the 10k @1.16 imo.

Aftertimer

doubleds done his bollox laying 1.2

Well I've just been to a big supermarket for an Easter shop and I can tell you,and some of you might not want to hear this,though the outside queue was great with full distancing once you are inside I've at more social distancing sometimes at a race meeting than there was in the aisles with shoppers darting about everywhere and internet shopping staff also everywhere so I would definitely say racing behind closed doors or even an all weather meeting with the usual crowd size would be far less of a danger than a visit to your local supermarket

lay the 1.1 for as much as you can then? or dont you bet to your opinion?

I think some people must be living on the moon

if anything, easter weekend coming up , nice weather , likely idiots will cause another spike in three weeks , or at least extend curve

I haven't been around these parts recently and i'm sure this has perspective has already been done to death but this makes absolute sense ...

‘Going outdoors is what stops every respiratory disease’

A veteran scholar of epidemiology has warned that the ongoing lockdowns throughout the United States and the rest of the world are almost certainly just prolonging the coronavirus outbreak rather than doing anything to truly mitigate it.

Knut Wittkowski, previously the longtime head of the Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design at the Rockefeller University in New York City, said in an interview with the Press and the Public Project that the coronavirus could be “exterminated” if we permitted most people to lead normal lives and sheltered the most vulnerable parts of society until the danger had passed.

“[W]hat people are trying to do is flatten the curve. I don’t really know why. But, what happens is if you flatten the curve, you also prolong, to widen it, and it takes more time. And I don’t see a good reason for a respiratory disease to stay in the population longer than necessary,” he said.

“With all respiratory diseases, the only thing that stops the disease is herd immunity. About 80% of the people need to have had contact with the virus, and the majority of them won’t even have recognized that they were infected, or they had very, very mild symptoms, especially if they are children. So, it’s very important to keep the schools open and kids mingling to spread the virus to get herd immunity as fast as possible, and then the elderly people, who should be separated, and the nursing homes should be closed during that time, can come back and meet their children and grandchildren after about 4 weeks when the virus has been exterminated,” he added.

Wittkowski argued that the standard cycle of respiratory diseases is a two-week outbreak, including a peak, after which “it’s gone.” He pointed out that even in a regime of “social distancing,” the virus will still find ways to spread, just more slowly:

You cannot stop the spread of a respiratory disease within a family, and you cannot stop it from spreading with neighbors, with people who are delivering, who are physicians—anybody. People are social, and even in times of social distancing, they have contacts, and any of those contacts could spread the disease. It will go slowly, and so it will not build up herd immunity, but it will happen. And it will go on forever unless we let it go.

Asked about Anthony Fauci, the White House medical expert who for weeks has been predicting significant numbers of COVID-19 deaths in America as well as major ongoing disruptions to daily life possibly for years, Wittkowski replied: “Well, I’m not paid by the government, so I’m entitled to actually do science.”

Video interview which expands his argument...

Another spike??? Our cases are far lower than expected. I'm not sure where you get your numbers from but the 18/19 flu season spiked at 12500 deaths in 1 week (26000 in total) in England alone. 99% of hospitals have NO crisis issues yet and they even admitted this morning that although they are opening the new hospital in London (the epicentre)  they still have plenty of capacity in their hospitals at the moment. The only issue in my area is increased demand for Mental Health services and GP's having to deal with dental issues as dentists closed.

I think he may be being ambitious because of the political commitment to lock down. My guess is they will allow you out in May to mingle in open spaces and get some sport on behind closed doors and go from there depending on perceived improvement in the situation.

Nope, you missed his point entirely Willy
You seem to infer stuff you want to believe.

Imo, the longer this thing goes on the more the £ and it's cash equivalents decrease in value
Cheering on this situation to last longer having punted 'no' is a self defeating endeavour, financially.
In one hand and then out the other.

Has anyone actually seen any number of ambulances rushing around the streets or passing your front doors..can't say I have ..this obviously excludes Shafter who appears to know someone who's died,people who died in a nursing home and someone addicted to internet gambling and with 6000 posts a month surprised he is familiar with anything besides his keyboard

What stops a virus is your immune system. The better it is the quicker it kills it so getting out for some exercise, eating properly, getting a decent nights sleep and a bit of sun on your back is the way to go. Once you have had it then you have even more immunity to it. That is why it would be a good idea to get the kids back to school while adults are isolating. They spread it amongst themselves bring it home and the families get it while the old and vulnerable are still self isolating.

Shafter,hello,trident been playing totally the same tune for days and weeks now

Like i said earlier go to your local supermarkets to see a complete breakdown of social distancing and thats multiplied hundreds of times around the country

everyone will never completely social distance there will always be loads of people in places who will go against the grain. around here the majority are social distancing in supermarkets and if they are not the supermarkets themselves are policing it
