@Catogrande said in Coronavirus - UK:
@broughie @MiketheSnow A very interesting watch. Liked the science guy but felt the interviewer had an agenda. A couple of things though that were not touched on. They majored on the deaths but firstly did not address the potential for overwhelming of the heath services. Secondly in looking at opening the schools (not that I'm against this), they majored on the risk to the kids and totally ignored they risk of the kids being spreaders. Now I don't know how much of a risk that is, but they did not even address it; this after accusing the Governments of ignoring certain aspects of risk in implementing lockdown.
The Atlantic piece above addresses this
Basically 'Look out for Grandma and Grandad'
Is this what they call 'The Nanny State'?

That strategy worked out well in Italy didnt it? Oh wait....

@Catogrande I think they did not address overwhelming the healthcare system because that was done and dusted. The interview was in June sometime and even in places like Florida where the media were besides themselves about the potential crisis Hospitals were never overwhelmed. I’m not sure if guys really understand how much the media in general is in the tank forLeft-wing and liberal ideology. They go to bat for Cuomo but any conservative they rape over the coals.

@canefan I’m just presenting studies that don’t support this. It still gets down to kids are rarely affected, they should be in school and the teachers need to be the adults in the room and take precautions if they are at risk. The lives of the kids are more important and more numerous than that of the teachers.

@broughie said in Coronavirus - UK:
I can’t access the German article but the Swedish one only really addresses how the kids have been affected and not addressed the possibility of them spreading the virus. In fact they simply said no measureable difference in laboratory confirmed cases in school age children. As I said previously, I’m not against the opening of schools but it is too simplistic to suggest that the only consideration is whether the kids themselves are at risk.

Better late than never
Clear messaging finally

Waaaaheey! So Birmingham and Solihull restrictions start Tuesday, not allowed in someone else's house but you can still go to the pub...
I'm tired of it all now. What a shitty year.

@R-L keep safe RL. Just follow what you can and use your common sense.
It’ll keep you, and your friends family safe. As always, govt make rules to enforce it on the lowest. They know it, you know it, I know it.

Really starting to piss me off now
9 deaths in the past 24 hrs and a stable death rate since 29 August and the people in power are running around like chickens with their heads lopped off.
Follow the science has been their mantra since day 1.
Well what's changed?

Will be a lag between cases and up in death and hospital rates. That’s the theory anyway.
I think the people in power will do anything to avoid another lockdown.

16-day period from 29 Aug-12Sep, which is longer than quarantine, and no rise.

I know, but nowhere near previous levels.
Better treatment will also hopefully result in less fatalities too.
