They're not, they report 12,000 cases and then adjust them down to 3-4000, leave them a week then put them back up, I've been following their numbers for 3 weeks now and it's happened each week.Spain are seeing a case reduction
I supose it could be, it also might be lower if our healthcare system is better than in Manaus or if we shielded vulnerable groups sucessfully.This is a bit ironic, an article on herd immunity supplemented by a picture of mass graves.
The article says 1 in 500 in the city died so translate that into the UK and we need to agree to 80,000 more deaths to achieve relative herd immunity..
definitely!Enough grim news for today. Hopefully the football will improve all of our moods later.
My 13-year-old lad broke down crying today when he got home.
He's was told someone has tested positive in his side of the year eight bubble and he must self-isolate for 14 days at home.
Six months off school and he was so happy to be back, having missed so much of his first year at secondary school.
That's 96 kids on his side all being told they could not get the bus or tram home and needed to ring someone urgently to collect them. Kids in tears and panicking. He's at a grammar and some of these pupils come from miles around to go there (another debate)
It was inevitable and back to learning on Microsoft teams - he can cope with it but missing out on the social aspect and deeper understanding of his subject matter, certainly when it has come to sciences and experiments.
Poor kid is crestfallen and is just another casualty of those people who couldn't give a fuck and spread this disease around from the pubs to the parks.
No symptoms and hoping desperately he will be okay.
Sorry to hear that Tolmie. Hope the wee fella is ok and gets back to school soon.

Some experts also think as low as 20% with this particular virus may be enough.
