STAY ALERT

[Notch7]

Not sure all this statistics achieves anything...We are all 100% dead eventually..

It is weird: its true the risk of catching CV is low and for the low risk groups the risk of dying is also low.

However there is a Russian Roulette dilemma: there is also a small chance of getting it and getting very ill and suffering a painful death away from loved ones.

practicing social distancing seriously reduces that risk for 2 reasons: it reduces the national infection rate and it reduces personal risk and risk to at risk relatives.
social distancing is hardly physically difficult, but going back to work is for many people very difficult.

social distancing is hardly physically difficult

It isn't, but it is anathema to what it is to be human.

If it is expected to be the "new normal", I predict that many millions across the world will ask themselves "do I really want to live like this?"

but going back to work

I been working since this started back in march. And myself and other work colleagues have not practiced social distancing once.
Risk concerns in other areas of our work comes first.

The week in Tory, a thread:

1 Accidentally made it illegal to drive to Wales

2 Made it easier to see other people's parents than your own

3 Issued new advice that was officially ignored by Scotland, Wales, NI, and the councils of Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle.
4 Admitted there WOULD be a border down the Irish Sea, after a year claiming there wouldn't

5 Said its ok for a child-minder to come into contact with your kids, as long as you "open a window"

6 Published advice that you can car-share, as long as the driver "doesn't look left"
7 Announced £2bn investment, so we could use public transport again

8 Told us it's our "civic duty" to avoid using public transport

9 Announced the PM would make a speech on Sunday, cos it had to be implemented Monday
10 Then, when challenged, said they meant Wednesday

11 Then said we must go to work

12 Then said we must not travel to work

13 Then said it was all explained in the published guidelines

14 Then had it pointed out to them in parliament that they hadn't published guidelines
15 Blamed the public for not understanding the new rules

16 Then went on TV to explain the rules, got them wrong, and had to be corrected by Piers Morgan

17 Then went to parliament to explain the rules, STILL got them wrong, and had to be corrected by the opposition
18 Said we should wear facemasks

19 Then said we shouldn't wear facemasks

20 Then said - again - we should wear facemasks

21 Clapped for NHS workers

22 Then introduced a 55% increase in the fee foreign staff pay to work for the NHS
23 Announced quarantine for new arrivals, a mere 73 days after being officially advised to quarantine new arrivals

24 Announced they had "only just started" recruiting people to do track and trace, a mere 110 days after being officially advised to urgently do track and trace
25 Issued a plan to open schools, which teachers said was unsafe

26 Then said doctors were brave, but teachers weren't

27 Then had to watch as doctors said the teachers were right, and it wasn't safe to open schools
28 Then announced tests for kids but not for teachers

29 Then had to have it explained on live TV that infected teachers can still infect kids

30 Scored 0% in a French poll of which govt was doing best for its people

31 Dropped 45 net approval points in UK opinion polling
And there are still 24 hours of this week to go

For a few months...I think you find a major majority will be willing to stop in the house a few months for the greater good..But some prats will always be prat..ish.

According to a doctor on R5L this morning, there is tentative evidence that children are not spreaders of CV, unlike with influenza.

As with everything to do with this though, only time will tell.

Better educated nations have already done the research, and so far there is more than tentative evidence to back this up.

However since the UK is better at everything, after several expensive inquiries a 'possible theory' will be available in about ten years time.

The rest of the world will of course have moved on!

You don't make sense..... Are we better or worse than other countries.


What is clear, is that you really do not like this country. I don't know why you stay here.... Unless its better than your wife's country....

social distancing is a collective effort.
had the whole country taken your attitude, 100s of thousands would be dead and the NHS would've been overloaded

so thank you for your selfish attitude
