[QUOTE="hoff135, post: 6862723, member: 33"] Becoming increasing confused by the way this whole situation is being presented to the public by the media and the govt. And I suspect the public are by and large not grasping the whole situation either. People are talking about "peaks" in some countries as if it could be over soon. If 70% of the population have had it and recovered then maybe we can get ready to pop the cork but it looks highly unlikely that we are anywhere near those levels. If only 10% have had it we are miles away from a "peak". The curve is being lowered through lockdown and people are being fooled into thinking its over. If i go on facebook and read what friends are saying its obvious most people think this whole lockdown is so they avoid it altogether. They are being duped into thinking this whole thing is about containment when its clearly long past that stage. I have seen numerous posts shared on social media of people sick and their relatives pleading that others obey the rules and "stay safe". I have seen others post to complain that non locals were stopping at local shop when passing through the local village and they were angry that they could be "bringing it here". Although we can all celebrate any decline in deaths and new cases, it simply does not eliminate the problem long term. The second you remove restrictions it will be away again. A vaccine seems a long way off Authorities seem in no hurry to try any possible drugs to combat the virus That leaves us with herd immunity as the only way out of this. That relies on us all getting it and hopefully we will have antibodies for sufficient time that we will not get it again. [/QUOTE]
