It an interesting alternative which seems to be doing OK so far. It's cited all the time on this thread and Twitter. Never usually with Denmark though, who have a death rate a fifth of that of Sweden and a similar economic outcome. From my armchair epidemiologist angle, a lockdown was right for us initially (albeitshould have been earlier and better border controls) but we have wasted lockdown in order to have allowed us to open up in a less restricted and longer period i.e. mass testing and track and trace.

He will be back on Off the Ball soon where he can be given easy time and worshipped by his fan boys. Like most of these types that carry their Masters degree as a badge of honour, they are fine when everything is ticking along as expected, but as soon as the shit hits the fan they are clueless. If the solution can't be found in theory text book, they can be relied upon to make poor and panicked decisions and when quizzed on them, answer as if they shouldn't be questioned in first place. They try to pretend it's because person asking question doesn't understand enough to accept their answer but it is really because their answers are dreadful.

I'd say that living normally, in close proximity is spreading the virus. Just like when one person at your home gets a stinking cold everyone else seems to get it. I'm 60 now, not in the most at risk group but still at risk, I'm fit having been into mountaineering for years , but healthy, fit people went down in the first wave. I'm not prepared to take that risk of getting it and potentially passing it on to my 87 and 88 year old parents. So, for now, living normally doesn't solve it for me, or those around me.

coconut doug Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 2 hours ago, doctor jambo said: One death per week for the last few months. this virus has been here since late last year. we don’t know lockdown works, because we dint know what would have happened if we didn’t do it- there is no comparator. its guess work . You are telling us that we do not know whether lockdown has been effective or not because we do not have a control. In this instance we do not need one. We know how the disease is spread and we know that in common with all infectious diseases the level of transmission can be reduced by keeping potential contaminators away from the uncontaminated and by putting a barrier between them. We know for sure that closer you live to others the more likely you are to contract infectious diseases. We know what has happened in other countries who locked down quicker or more severely than we did. We were told the lockdown was to flatten the curve and it has done that and when lifted the graph started to spike. The fact that the virus has been around since last year is irrelevant as is the number of deaths in Scotland over the last few months. Deaths are more common in Scotland now and are rising significantly in England. In three weeks the number of daily infections has more than tripled, these people do not die immediately and the proportion that do die will be smaller than before but there will still be significant numbers.

Let the many many many millions not at risk in the UK go about their lives and keep the economy ticking? As it stands, there are more people living on my street than entire UK hospital COVID related admissions in the month of August and September. From all those that sadly died in the UK yesterday, 99 % of them were NOT related to COVID 19. Do you not question why 'the NHS' is no longer cited as a reason for all these laws and restrictions? That myth was debunked some time ago. They have moved on now. The stats and figures simply do not justify any of this. Saying there were 2,000 'new' cases yesterday in the country is as relevant as saying 2,000 men sprung new moustaches yesterday. For decades coroners put pneumonia on death certificates willy nilly now they are putting COVID. I feel so ****ing sorry for those with terminal illness and are knowingly seeing out their final months in this society of shackles. Terminal cancer is a 10/10 on the serious scale, COVID is a 1. For some ****ed up reason our governments (not just Scotland) are focusing more on this than the real issues, illness and struggles that we face in our shitey lives. How do we really know who are at most risk and who are not, plenty went down in the first wave that were thought to be fit and healthy. Anyway, I'm done for tonight, I'm on holiday in the Border hills, I shouldn't even be on kickback. Stay healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
