Why's he left his mum outside?

But I think you are wrong and we would know that he’d had the virus, if he’d had it.

How?

500,000 people die every year in the UK. I imagine the vast majority without any kind of post mortem or tests done. That was certainly the case with my dad. I was there when the doc signed his death certificate.

But what does it matter if it was covid 19 or not? He might have had food poisoning or flu and he wouldn’t appear in those stats either. What I’ve been trying to get over is that the vast majority of the people who will die with this disease are going to be like ‘George’.

Surely in order to deal with the aftermath of all this and do the numbers they will need to know who got it, who got better and who died and the more accurate the data the better. It was guesstimations that led us down the path of herd immunity after all

What this pandemic has shown is how selfish, arrogant and self centred a large proportion of the British people are. We are practicing the social distancing at our house and according to social media, Roker sea front (Sunderland) was hammered today!! Some pubs were serving ale through the window!!! What is wrong with society today? We are fighting a war against a silent killer. We need the help of everyone for this virus to burn out. What's the point of 70% of the nation social distancing when the others just don't give a hoot! The virus will never go away. I know a lot of people have got the attitude of "well I'm young, fit and healthy, it's only the flu"... Yes you might be ok and will probably fight it off, but what about if you pass it on to someone unbeknowingly who's immune system isn't up to scratch? We could be potentially killing fellow human beings at the expense of our ignorance. Society is set up perfectly to sit on your arse on the settee. Netflix, sky, deliveroo, Amazon prime all there at the touch of a button. Our last major war, people lied about their age to go on the front line, and we are being asked to park our arses on the sofa for a few week and for some they can't even manage do that!!! The stress the hospitals and the health professionals must be under doesn't best thinking about. I just hope that the message starts to sink in soon.

Rant over!!

Stay safe blues x

The strange thing I don’t understand, is, that these wasters are usually sat watching daytime tele al day. That’s why everywhere is usually quiet. This past five days everywhere that’s normally quiet has been chocka because these twats have decided to have a day out.

It’s like at Christmas and New Year. There are people who only go out in those days/nights every year and they think this is another extended public holiday.

Great Point Pal
 
Suggest some people watch the documentary on C4 from an hour ago, very informative and goes into some detail with one of the professors dealing with the data. Explains about the idea behind herd immunity and then also talks about how long they’ve be planning for this type of thing.

I think most people would say that if something has killed someone, it matters.

He might have picked up and lasted another 3 years. I am really not persuaded by this "they would have died anyway" argument.

Good because it is completely and utterly fucking ridiculous. You have to be a right Dominic Cummings to think so.
 
Video circulating out there telling people to boil up water sea salt and a citron peel and inhale steam for 15-25 mins everytime they have been outside. Not saying it works or anything like that but ive had a tight chest gor a few days now ive done what this guy says and now i dont have this tight chest lets hope its still like this 2moz morning but cant do no harm to try things like this.

Over 30 years of this might answer the main thrust of your question - people keep invoking the Blitz Spirit - we are no longer those people with those sentiments

Eating chillis work for clearing the chest somewhat, the spicier the better. As does a bit of ginger and lemon chopped or pressed into your tea. Even a good shake of pepper in a mug of OXO.

Gargling post-boiled salt water is good for delaying a virus getting to the lungs from the throat to.
 
McDonalds staff appear to be finding out on social media that their restaurants are closing tomorrow.
