Have you actually read the "article" or any of the following posts?
...and with regards you're rather condescending remark about witnessing whats going on, I'd bet the cost of a ST that I've seen far more of it first hand than you in your white-collar sleepy little irish idyll.
Here is the same story from the beeb.....with many of the ifs, buts & maybes that sky omitted...
Winter wave of coronavirus 'could be much worse'
Not really interested in the cute little attempts to insult, however the reality is that to not be highly vigilant, careful etc would be massively foolhardy, and attempts to write stuff off as "scaremongering" and "not helpful" is patently stupid.
Not understanding the dramatic & significant negative effects that sensationalist scaremongering headlines have on the mental health & well-being of society most vulnerable groups is patently stupid.
Interestingly, the beeb have since changed their headline from the more panic laden early morning version.......so i'm clearly not alone in thinking the headline may have over-egged it somewhat.
Anyway.....if the report gives the government a kick up the arse, then great. But as a stand alone numerical prediction (which the authors point out its not even a prediction) its about as much use as a chocolate teapot....especially once you included all the whys, ifs, whens, buts & maybes.
I'm just working on the basis of outside is OK so long as you maintain 2m distancing, anywhere inside then its mask on. Not that I'm risking the pub but if I did why would it be safe to be inside with a load of strangers and minimal distancing without a mask? Makes no sense.And yet during the peak with 1000 deaths a day you could freely walk around the supermarket. Now people out in the open air walking their dogs 100 metres from anyone are wearing them. Just a big mess of inconsistency. So many questions. Is this the way until there is a vaccine, or if no vaccine then forever?
Damn straightCompare and contrast, this is what is happening in France:
France's health workers given 'historic' pay rises
meanwhile back in the UK:
Student nurses on frontline 'told to go back to working unpaid'
Free hospital parking for NHS workers to be scrapped after coronavirus crisis
Still, they got a clap every week, what more do they want?

Problem is that as a nation we are all so selfish that everyone wants a share of whatever pie the government offers, but doesn't want to contribute. Like for example plenty of people would be willing to have their taxes go up unilaterally across the board to help fund better pay for health workers, but for (probably forgiveable reasons), won't donate their income or even time to helping these people, or contribute in a small way. It's all 'me me me'. I know there's something wrong when we have PR consultants and certain media figures sneering on healthcare professionals.I’m constantly amazed how this shit can even be a thing. Damn good job people do these jobs for love
Read a book a few years ago about America's existing homeless crisis, it's a grim grim country and no model for anything aside from some very very wealthy individuals exponentially increasing their wealth year on year.In the States, a third of Americans have missed rent or mortgage payments this month, similar for May and June. Difference is that unemployment relief stops at the end of this month, and the one-off $1200 payment has been spent. Homelessness on a monstrous scale is surely imminent

Just on a civil service live event with professor chris whitty. He was just asked why we have the highest death rate
he answered in 3 mins
Multiple reasons
How it started
Particular response In our country
Demographics
Clarified we are One of the worst
Need to Learn lessons
In Hindsight Some things would have been done differently
Some we did right too - 2 main things
The solution is a scientific - not an accident that leading vaccine and drug are coming out of the uk.
And that we managed to Speed up many of our processes from months to days.
Also said that anything Negative Is amplified
And anything Positive Is hidden
really interesting

Might not be a bad thing if there's permanent improvements in hygiene standards. Was the wearing of masks common in Asia before SARS or did they start then? Wonder what impact their mask wearing has had on the rates of flu.
It needs to be a really simple message. Its either masks all the time or its not. We saw when we went from Stay Home to Stay Alert that nuanced messages and relying on peoples common sense doesn't work.
Capacity is there, if people don’t want a test then how are the numbers meant to be higher?Number of tests processed only 97k across all pillars, pathetic numbers. They really should be testing in earnest off the back of the relaxation of lockdown to understand any impact it had.
530 cases, 138 deaths.
1240 infection!!!!!Number of tests processed only 97k across all pillars, pathetic numbers. They really should be testing in earnest off the back of the relaxation of lockdown to understand any impact it had.
398 cases, 138 deaths.
398 cases, not 1250 infections1250 infection!!!!!
Bollocks that is, in every pub I’ve been in it’s been 1m such as spoons and that....The inside of a pub from what I have seen is either still socially distanced to 2m or if less than 2m there is protection in place such as screens.
It has seemed ok the times i've been but it's not quite what it was but I guess it won't be for a long time.
Old cases due to historical data
