Spellczech Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Not sure I understand this talk of more lockdowns. They need to just let the young all get it and be done with it. People with health problems and old people have to choose for themselves how cautious to be. I support the facemasks in supermarkets but yesterday I tried to go to Boots and they had a sign on the door saying 3 people only, yet 5 people were inside and at least 4 were women browsing - I haven't got patience for that nonsense! I didn't wait even though there was nobody else waiting. I left. Edited September 21, 2020 by Spellczech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm concerned there's bugger all scientific about a lot of this and the majority of it is political (despite what Nicola Sturgeon may preach from her soap box). Every politicians makes decisions with the political repercussions in mind to help keep them in a cushy job IMO. Some have more genuine intentions than others but, ultimately politicians think politically. Unfortunately that bumbling bufoon at Westminster has made NS look like a hero through all of this when all shes really doing is giving out the same message in a clear and simple way unlike Boris. Unfortunately the Scottish government are far more cautious and stricter and if that 6month thing involves not seeing other households for prolonged periods I don't think it'll command the same respect this time round So you think going against something that we could see worked in stemming the virus will help the situation?

Politics are being played out and conspiracy theorists are messing up a lot of brains in this country. That is no way to bring back normality as everyone is going off in different directions. This country need a model that nearly everyone can follow which is probably accepting it will go around the community now and we just have to do our best to help local businesses survive by using and buying from them. However, blatant ignoring by anyone of the sensible precautions in place to lessen the spread needs to be called out for what it is, stupidity.

Maybe but this place is for opinions, so people are entitled to have different ones. Personally I suspect the more dangerous strains of Covid have killed their host and the less dangerous ones are the ones that allow their host to recover and these are the more prevalent ones now. One way or another Covid will end up like the flu. I'll continue to obey the rules as they currently stand as I think they are sensible (and it is no big problem for me that shopping and visiting the town centre is a miserable experience now) but I think more lockdowns would be more harmful than beneficial - I've got no work right now.

Costanza Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 2 hours ago, graygo said: Tens of thousands sounds like a big number but with a population of 60 odd million it would make very little difference to those percentages. Over the whole population it is a very small percentage but given the UK has reported cases of 394k at the moment, you would expect the percentage to be a lot higher, albeit not saying it is simply 60/394. Although there was a British medical Journal that said about 10% of people experience prolonged symptoms. It's why I can't understand that we don't have more focus and reporting of this and why I'm baffled at people who blithely compare this to the flu and/or have a bring it on attitude, when we don't know the full extent and how long these prolonged symptoms last for. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-54016357 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is I think a lot of the decisions being made are political (despite a repeated denial by the scottish government). I dont deny covid exists and if you have underlying health issues or are in a vulnerable health category its a real danger but what percentage of the UK population does thst cover exactly? I work with an ex paramedic and he is of the opinion the governments shouldve kept the vulnerable category of people shielded for as long as was necessary but let the vast majority of the population who are healthy continue with their lives as it were. Thanks to this pandemic, both he and I gave been off work since March with still no date of return. He's actually went back to do some shifts with the NHS and he gave his opinion during a call we had only last week. I realise he is only one person with NHS experience that I've spoken with but from what he was saying there seems to be quite a few NHS workers of similar opinions as he holds. Im sure there will be a few on the opposite side of that opinion too but I find it interesting to hear that view from someone with direct links to the NHS. I just want the government to acknowledge and ask at what point do we recognise all the other sick people who have had treatments postponed or cancelled due to covid? Not to mention all the perfectly healthy people pre March 2020 who will now be suffering (or subsequently suffering) from mental health issues and or financial hardships brought on by severe lockdowns??

Of course no other nation celebrates its achievements of the past, relatively recent past in this case, still within the memory of many still alive and many more who knew those who fought and died. America with July 4th, France with Bastille Day, Russia with 1917 and the Great Patriotic War (aka WW2), China with Mao's revolution ... etc etc. I would say no other country has so many people who hate their own country as much as we do.
