I think it’s a very bad idea to consider following Italy and Spain without the delay of a few weeks. In fact criminal springs to mind
I think if that goes ahead it's herd immunity
But It feels the last ten days has opened up without official advice.

I agree.

Small things like B&Q and KFC are making people jump the starting gun.

It's like because there is no real leadership everyone is slowly creeping forwards.

I've definitely seen a difference in the last two weeks.

All 6000 of those are likely to have occurred during lock down. Where’s chris Whitty to explain how

6,000 new cases, 659 deaths and yet rumours of lockdown being stopped at the weekend, and those rumours fuelling starting to ignore it anyway. It’s looking unfortunately like the U.K. ‘second wave’- if it happens- may be particularly lethal and brutal.

you’d have to have some kind of a perverse death wish to head out back to normal after this weekend.

And I hope by asking we are not saying as the government appear to that over 85’s have nothing to offer society and we should let them go

It’s ok it won’t be anyone under 45 so it’s fine. It’s only mums and dads and sisters and aunties and grandparents. It’s tragic

I’m in the 45+ category

It’s a problem as the stats show it’s only about 400 under 45 - nearly all male and I think a high percentage had health issues - so anyone under that age is never likely to die from it

Hackney market bustling with people at the weekend. Even selling beer on tap to the cockney hoards. Some people couldn't care less.

If you have to go to hospital with covid a rough guide to survival chances is simply to know that if you are 45 your survival rate in hospital is 100 - 45. So 55% survival rate.
Therefore an 70 year old has a 30% chance of survival etc.

So is there an intimation that the focus should have been on stopping infection than increasing nhs space and number of ventilators ?? Not that anyone knew I suppose

If this really is the game

No wonder he don't want to announce it to parliament tomorrow .
I'd advise mass ignorance of it if that is the program.

I've no idea. Dr Hilary Jones presented this simple ready reckoner to the public on Monday. My chances in hospital are less than 50/50.

I would suspect that the next big problem will be when companies say “lockdown is over, come into work” and some people don’t want to, what happens then

Then there you have it.

I'm not suggesting this, but the fact that so little people die under 45 (I'm 28) does make it hard I think.

The only reason many are conforming to lockdown is to protect the vulnerable and the NHS only.

If they were going to do a herd immunity they should take those figures into account and at least try and do it properly.

This whole thing is a mess and I see unrest growing as this situation seems to be getting worse.

They say that teachers don’t need PPE and to maintain distancing in classrooms these people haven’t a clue

If the figures are correct and you are not in a risk group then you probably don’t - are schools actually opening?
