Well lets be honest, it is fear mongering.You've been calling it fear mongering from the start to be fair. Over in a month..just a flu.

Kill for a nationalist arsehole? Think we've already got one. Sturgeon just hangs off the back of the UK economy making easy choices. No money moving in Scotland? Don't worry, the economy is held up by London. But freedom. She's a tit.I’d argue that continuing with restrictions is understandably an unpopular move and showing strong leadership if anything.
I’d kill for Sturgeon as the PM.
450,000 deaths even though virtually the entire world weren't allowed outside their homes for 3 months and is still heavily restricted. Yep, nothing to see here....Well lets be honest, it is fear mongering.
It's just a flu, granted that it took EPO and HGH but still.450,000 deaths even though virtually the entire world weren't allowed outside their homes for 3 months and is still heavily restricted. Yep, nothing to see here....
I’m sorry?Well lets be honest, it is fear mongering.
1.5% increase in worldwide deaths. I'd call it fear mongering..450,000 deaths even though virtually the entire world weren't allowed outside their homes for 3 months and is still heavily restricted. Yep, nothing to see here....
Maths isn’t your strongest subject then.1.5% increase in worldwide deaths. I'd call it fear mongering..
It's not a Flu, however we're definitely getting a second wave because that's what happened with Spanish Flu.It's just a flu, granted that it took EPO and HGH but still.
Almost as though they’re both viral respiratory pathogens, transmitted in a similar manner, one of which kills a higher % of people it infects than the other. Crazy, right?It's not a Flu, however we're definitely getting a second wave because that's what happened with Spanish Flu.
450,000 deaths from 27 million so far this year.Maths isn’t your strongest subject then.
Do you accept that had most of Europe, America, Canada, Far East, South Asia and many others, not implemented lockdowns to limit the spread of the virus, that the death toll would have been much higher? As a result, you may not have thought it was fear mongering?1.5% increase in worldwide deaths. I'd call it fear mongering..
You think that 1.5% isn't a big figure? Especially when we limited it by virtually hibernate for three months?1.5% increase in worldwide deaths. I'd call it fear mongering..
Wait. This opinion is actually a thing still?1.5% increase in worldwide deaths. I'd call it fear mongering..
You might have a point (I would still say not) if most countries around the world were actually good at calculating how many deaths its caused.450,000 deaths from 27 million so far this year.
That the US and UK are gloval hubs makes their slow, incomplete and bumbling responses even more appauling.And people are comparing countries with totally different contexts. The US and the UK are global hubs, the amount of initial contacts with the virus isn't comparable to Aus/NZ who are by nature relatively insulated. I mentioned it several times but people just have to look at how the virus moved within borders, it doesn't magically appears and easily spread in remote areas. At some point people and the experts that are on social medias need to think in a more intelligent way, there is no point comparing the incomparable.
It isn't a flu at all. What are you talking about?It's just a flu, granted that it took EPO and HGH but still.
Obviously sarcasm?It isn't a flu at all. What are you talking about?
I have no argument against that, my point is just that there isn't a really a moment where the UK should be compared to AU and NZ because they didn't start from the same position. You could compare it with France though and I really don't understand what happened with the UK, I don't understand why their excess death is that high. In France I know that some local politicians miserably failed in particular in the north half of the country, they failed to take the correct decisions and they failed to provide equipments that health professionals need whether there is a pandemic or not.That the US and UK are gloval hubs makes their slow, incomplete and bumbling responses even more appauling.
I was being sarcastic with Camilo being somehow convinced that all of this was just scaremongering.It isn't a flu at all. What are you talking about?
Half a million dead alreafy with actual deaths worldwide likely to be double that despite a global lockdown. We can also probably expect thecdeath toll to double by the end of the year.Well lets be honest, it is fear mongering.
Australia had a large number of daily flights from Hubei and China and Italy. 45 million international movements per year. Not the same but more than enough to put Australia in a virtually unconttollable situstion. And this from a government who coildn't normally organise a piss up in a brewery.I have no argument against that, my point is just that there isn't a really a moment where the UK should be compared to AU and NZ because they didn't start from the same position.

Seriously? It's not difficult to see how it escalated, the policy around the decision to discharge hospital patients to care homes to free up 15,000 beds and then giving guidance to care homes telling them that there's no need to test those patients (mainly because they hadn't got testing capacity addressed at all) caused around a good 35% of the total deaths in the UK.and I really don't understand what happened with the UK, I don't understand why their excess death is that high.
Well, I don't have all the details about the UK, so yes seriously. For example, I didn't knew about the discharging policy.Seriously?

Slow/not very severe lockdown. Borders never closed, no quarantine. A defacto herd immunity strategy continued by utter incompetence.Seriously?

The SNP have made all the same mistakes the Tories made handling Covid but arguably worse. Particular with regards to sending elderly people back to carehomes without testing, and testing capacity in general.I’d argue that continuing with restrictions is understandably an unpopular move and showing strong leadership if anything.

I don't get how that is possible, what makes the UK that different from other countries who also have questionable politicians who still managed to mitigate their early mistakes? Surely the government was able to read reports about excess deaths and realized that some actions were needed particularly when they denied the herd immunity strategy but then again I shouldn't be surprised it is reminiscent of Brexit negotiations. Do you think that british politicians completely ignore experts, that would explain some of the things we have seen lately?Slow/not very severe lockdown. Borders never closed, no quarantine.

I'm finding it hard to tell these days with people saying things like "it is scaremongering"Obviously sarcasm?
I have no idea really. Either utter incompetence or they are just pretending they aren't going for herd immunity (which is just immoral incompetence).I don't get how that is possible, what makes the UK that different from other countries who also have questionable politicians who still managed to mitigate their early mistakes?

I'm not an epidemiologist but I think I might just have an explanation.However, in an interview with Swedish Radio, Anders Tegnell, Sweden's chief epidemiologist, admitted that immunity rates were low and that “it’s difficult to explain why this is so.”

There's a lot to analyse in Gove's remark but, generally, who the hell does he think has encouraged this longstanding anti-intellectual feeling in the British people? His own bloody Party and their fellow travellers, that's who.“People in this country have had enough of experts,” - Michael Gove -2016
I did read some stats a few years ago how UK has double the amount of travelers of France, something like 1.4 million vs 3.8 million but perhaps someone can confirm that. It's been said recently that most of the cases brought to the UK were people coming from Italy Spain and France.I have no argument against that, my point is just that there isn't a really a moment where the UK should be compared to AU and NZ because they didn't start from the same position.

We shouldn’t wear seat belts that’s fear mongering, I’ve never died in a car crash.1.5% increase in worldwide deaths. I'd call it fear mongering..
@massi83Clinical and immunological assessment of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections
- One of the major findings of this paper is that asymptomatic patients "shed virus" longer—a median of 19 days—than symptomatic patients.
- Over half of the patients who were classified as asymptomatic based on the lack of any experienced symptoms showed abnormalities based on lung CT scans, indicating possible damage even in these patients.
I have heard that when we tested it in France in April but I'm not sure about what it implicates. Does that mean that the chances of mid to long term immunity are limited or is that irrelevant?@massi83
This was what I mentioned a while back re serology surveys missing loads of people who have been infected. 40% of asymptomatic patients became seronegative during the convalescent phase (13.9% of symptomatic patients)
The Abbott test instruction manual admits its only reliable if done within 14 days of infection.
We’re not winning anything mate. Most people are flouting rules. Most don’t even know what they are anymore.We are winning. Slowly but surely. Most people are sticking to the rules and doing what they need to do in order to protect the ones they love.
