Failure to stay the fudge at home and prat about on airlines, crowd on beaches / pubs / raves has cost this nation dear.

Any of that behaviour related to the shambolic mixed messages coming from government? Eat out to help out! Get back to the office! I could go on.

I don`t entirely disagree. The government are trying to find a balance between people`s safety and support for the economy. It is a thankless task made more difficult by people who cannot distinguish between wishes and needs. I am of that age which does not have many needs but wishes to stay alive a bit longer. I will, and hopefully can, look after myself without help from the nanny state or the lockdown police.

I heard today that a group of shop assistants were tested just to see , they had no symptoms Non had felt ill and all tested positive, the jobs fooked it’s out , that was a small group tested in a major high street and they all failed and are now all in quarantine.

I am not entirely surprised. I may have had it but have withdrawn my support from many aspect of everyday life on the basis that I have no immunity.

Up to 70% of those infected are totally asymptomatic.

“Up to” - so anywhere between none and most. Doesn’t really tell us much, but makes a scary/ reassuring headline, depending on your beliefs.

There are plenty of studies/articles. Most are around this figure. One study on an Italian town with a population of 3000 put the figure in excess of 40% so it's definitely a significant number. Children in particular don't seem to show many symptoms and those that do seem to have those affecting their GI tract only. It's a weird disease.

Makes me feel like an expert because I too can pluck figures from the air. It is a common theme and not worth a damn.

I rather get the impression that we are spending too much time (badly) chasing potential carriers who are totally elusive instead of building up a picture of natural immunity.

The UK has done 15 million tests I understand. Can't complain at that.

 

[arcobob]

The UK has done 15 million tests I understand. Can't complain at that.

But are these random tests or those with symptoms or a random mixture of both? I am not convinced that the statistics are in any way meaningful.

People who believe they have symptoms.

 

[arcobob]

People who believe they have symptoms.

But by all accounts many who have symptoms cannot get tests. Maybe they have common ailments and are just panicking but it appears that they simply cannot get tests. Is this fake news?

 

[Muck Spreader]

I think the question should be, how many tests were properly done and how many were properly analysed. I don't know the answer, but I bet it's nowhere near 15 million.

Yes , but we all know how to cope with the risks ,its not like waiting at the traffic lights is it?

 

[fudge]

Do the government know how to manage risks? For example is it a good idea to allow the owner of public chain to dictate public health policy? I don’t think so.

I'll not bother with the app. I'll just stay at home like I usually do. Somewhat baffled at the idea that the mobile phone can save us from the apocalypse, especially as modern tech always turns out to be a disappointment.

Same.
I think it's fair to point out that staying home on the farm, that many of you have no problem with is rather different to having to stay in your crap terraced house in the middle of sh*tsville.
How many of you would change your story if you had to stay inside and a police officer fined you every time you went out to do something on the farm?

strangely i was texted by the NHS saying not to forget to sign up to the app whilst in a que for a swimming pool - ive not been swimming for a year and yet the first time i go near one i get this message ? seems odd. i suspect there's alot of software running on out phones we dont even know about. very odd coincidence.

Must be the MSM making it up again.

Coronavirus: London anti-lockdown protests see 16 arrests as police left in hospital after clashes

Police say there were "no efforts by organisers to engage with crowds and keep those assembling safe from transmitting the virus".

I've watched a few videos on this, some very long and it sounds like nonsense to me.

'Dozens of police wore riot helmets as they penned in demonstrators and conspiracy theorists, trying to shut down the "We Do Not Consent" rally. '

Why were they trying to shut it down? Why didn't they shut down BLM or XR or Occupy which often involved damage to public and private property? See the use of 'Conspiracy theorists' again? These are perfectly normal people hacked off about what is going on in our country. If they wanted peace, why didn't they let it run it's course and let the speakers speak and not instead, steal and damage the PA and then try to kettle the attendants? Way to p1ss people off I think and cause trouble.

I only hope that Boris is trying to use this as a smokescreen to get a proper Brexit done. If not he's in trouble at the ballot box next time. Since '79 we've had a Bilderberg PM so we can only guess on the agenda.
