I'm sure the British Transport Police could stick the odd officer at station doors just to remind people. Not fines and shit, I don't really want to see that, but a presence would help in itself. They generally stand around doing sod all anyway so why not.
A strong mesage from the top helps tbf, let alone anything else. The current national guidance is still to wear masks when you're in an enclosed space with lots of people - not that you'd know unless you went looking for it, mind!
Was gonna post this myself, another esteemed tweeter said the results were still "off the charts". Get it into people's arms.
You still haven't told me why lockdowns don't work.
Common sense, you cabt eradicate it so immunity is the only way to go unless you want to just hide in your house.
No, the poster in question was saying lockdowns didn't work. My point was what controlled the spread of the virus last January for example - pre vaccine - if it wasn't the lockdown?
Wow glad you’re not in power in any capacity. Just let it run is not a solution surely
So run and hide against something not much deadlier than ths flu?
They do work for a time at slowing the spread but thsn what as soon as you unease thsy go up again, and ahain stary infecting the eldererly and weak, there is no way to stop it if there was we would of locked down for what ever that period of time would of been.
ESB will be happy.
Austria to go into full lockdown as Covid surges
As well as Monday's lockdown, the chancellor says vaccinations will be compulsory from February.www.bbc.co.uk
. I’ll be interested to see if Holland’s 7pm curfew has a huge impact...all I know is when they tried the 10pm curfew here loads were out on the piss from 1pm Saturdays...suddenly everyone wanted bottomless brunch tables...even 20 stone geezers !...and my neighbour kept having house parties, where he'd have probably been safer staying in the pub!
Get fucked.
You know im right.
It’s clearly more deadly than the flu and you’re writing it on a thread where a poster in his mid 30s died from it - have some respect.
I don't understand why it's so difficult for some to grasp that yes, it will still be among us - the Black Death and Spanish flu are still among us! But that the whole point is to get society to a stage that when it *isn't* as much of a threat, we've got there without *too* much collateral damage.
It is much deadlier than the flu you complete clown
That's the way out, for sure.
Was an interesting interview with a virologist on the radio the other day. He said historically pandemics burn themselves out in a couple of years.
Who? When?
It isnt though, its shown that the flu is like. 00.48% mortality and covid is 00.53 or some shit for anyone under 80, but wven over 80. Flu or covid the mortality rate goes up, and dame goes for those with health issues. You're the clown thinking locking down every few weeks will solve the issue.
Yeah, as ever winter is the tough time, so it'll be see how we go next winter I guess, to see if we're truly over it. Proceed with optimistic caution is probably fair, however!
It was made public sometime in june that covid was at its peak of sickness and from here in out it would get weaker and weaker, unless it somehow found away to avoid vaccines and antibodys it will eventually just be the common cold.
Our hospitalisations and deaths are going down so surley we're a bit ahead of everyone else, especially with the natuaral immunity and the vaccinations, i doubt we will see another peak of 60k cases a day in this country this year, could be wrong but hope not.
You dont read into studies do you? There was ons a few months ago about 1000 people, 500 infected with covid 500 infected with the flu, 2 people Died both of whome were unvaccinated against the flu, all 500 covid infecties survived (all 500 were vaccinated).
And whos fault is that? Not mine or my familys, we're all vaccinated so why should we be locked down over snd over and over?
