Tier 3 for London and parts of Essex and Hertfordshire.

[Notch7]

I’m totally deflated tonight. Realisation has hit.

yeah me too

I think I was just looking forward to Christmas and news of the vaccine last week or so made it seem like we were over the worst

I was thinking -vaccinations by spring all back to normal by Easter

 

[Notch7]

Remind us, where did start?

brexit supporters spread it....just like their misinformation

 

[EFLImpudence]

because they ended and quarantine and testing havent been operational

That does therefore beg the question of "Why did it end?".

the concept of the R number is politically useful as a guide

Not medically, you mean.

clearly hospital cases are the only way of getting any idea

How are they doing, then? Nightingales full?

yes they did

Can't have - it is still here.

take first lockdown -social distancing did lower the spread

First lockdown was to lower the curve to protect the NHS

but it was ended....but there was still background infection in the community

So - ending it was wrong?

a lack of test / trace / quarantine meant asymptomatic people were spreading unknown

So, no answer.

and sooner or later the exponential growth takes up back to where we were

I don't think you mean exponential, but if back to where we were - then it didn't work did it?

FFs.

My god you are thick aren`t you, can`t even understand a post but go off in your own little universe instead.

 

[IT Minion]

You keep saying that because I disagree with you but you saying it does not make it so.

No, I keep saying it because you still don't understand what the R value is. Six months and more since it was explained to you in short words.

 

[IT Minion]

I'm fuming, I feel tier 2 restrictions were enough, it's all a load of rubbish.

They can't possibly expect the country to be in the state it's in for another year.

How to destroy an economy 101

Six months, assuming vaccinations make decent progress. Then the death rate will be negligible and we'll just have to live with the 10% long covid rate for everyone else.

 

[dontbelieveawordofit]

they did really

march lockdown lowered R value

same in Sept / Oct -but more slowly because schools stayed open.

but unless everyone stays in permanently it’s a complete waste of time

Exactly.

Have you heard the latest revelation - that the virus is moved by the wind.

Open windows at Christmas to let the virus be blown away. WTF does it go?

so it’s only able to move out of the window? not in through the window?
complete b@ll@x

 

[Dangee]

Went right over pumps head, me thinks.
Eh, Notch!

Tell us again, then.

Think about it as a lethal fart. In an enclosed space that is pretty bad, but once it's wafted out a window then it quickly gets faint enough to be undetectable.

 

[dontbelieveawordofit]

they want everyone to open the windows so they get seasonal colds and flu, then they panic for a covid test which comes back positive whether you’ve got ‘covid’ or not. inflate the figures as much as possible to justify ruining the economy and scare more people into getting bogus vaccinations.

 

[Dangee]

Whilst there are “people” like Elle, we’ll never get rid of it... gullible idiots who believe everything on tinternet

 

[dontbelieveawordofit]

Actually I`m thinking he needs to look up the word start.
