So what do you think caused the peak to be on the 8th and the slight declines since, if not the actions taken at the stages shown.
I think it was the actions taken at the stages shown.

The graph doesn't demonstrate that though. All it shows is dates when measures were taken and some peaks later on. That's all it shows.

That we'd expect these measures to have an effect I think is a bit of a "no shit Sherlock". But there's nothing to see beyond that. You can't look at the graph and say, look declining deaths on 9th April, that must be because of school closures.
 
I'm beginning to think this may be something that we're all going to have to learn to live with.

I agree about the actions, think the graph shows it as far as I can see. Find it a helpful graphic myself.
 
Can you explain what you mean?

It's a possibility that a vaccine can't be found and it's a possibility that there will never be a cure for it.

If that does turn out to be the case, then we will have to learn to live with it, as awful as that may be.
 
Maybe this is why the guy from wellcome trust was saying we might not get a vaccine

Scientists in China have discovered more than 30 mutations of the new coronavirus, which they say may partly explain why it has been more deadly in certain parts of the world.Researchers from Zhejiang University said they had "direct evidence" that the virus "has acquired mutations capable of substantially changing its pathogenicity".

The study was written by a team including Professor Li Lanjuan, one of China's top scientists who was reportedly the first expert to propose a lockdown in Wuhan - where COVID-19 originated

30? There are 1000s.

By no, do you believe that the Swedish model is better than we have i.e don't put that idea to bed?

No what? I get you’d rather we just all cracked on as you think things aren’t as bad as being reported but what are you disagreeing with here?

The idea of putting it to bed. Not enough is known, or will be known for some time, to put any response "to bed".

It is unless the virus weakens, we create an effective treatment that means it doesn't kill/mean being in intensive care for the majority of people or we get an effective vaccine.

It shows some dates of when actions were taken and some peaks some time later. And then lines drawn on to make you think the two are shown to be related. They are not shown to be related (although they may very well be related).

I think we can put the notion that lockdown doesn’t work to bed.
It works much better than what people like you would rather happen.

what? You think the majority of people who get this end up in intensive care or die of it???

Christ the govt messaging has been very successful.

Good luck boris with getting people out of lockdown if that is what people think. .

Fingers crossed that's not the case but understand what you mean
 
He is talking about this current covid 19

Samples were taken from 11 patients admitted to hospitals in Hangzhou, 470 miles east of Wuhan, between 22 January and 4 February during the early phase of the outbreak.

Using "ultra-deep sequencing", researchers identified 33 mutations of the new coronavirus - known as SARS-CoV-2 - of which 19 were new.
