Glad to hear.You had it bad too, it is a right fucker to get shot off , feeling good today , second day on third course of pred and fourth course of antibiotics , it is a marathon not a sprint for sure
Especially restaurant owners are very disappointed. Many tried and invested a lot to ensure safety, they feel they are not the problem,
other than pubs and bars.
Public opinion pre today's announcement was about:
55% in line with govs policy
33% wanted more restrictions
12% wanted less restrictions.
Most people have understood we HAVE to follow rules or it gets ugly and gov then has would have react, with tough consequences for all, including the compliants.
About 15% don't follow the rules for different reasons:
- a certain %age isn't reached by advice due to a barrier of language, cultural differences or simply understanding
- some are unable to follow rules per se. They feel dominated and weak if someone tells them what's important to do now. They are against ANY system. Conspiracy theories are a factor here.
Right now we think Germany is a bit behind the curve compared to many other European areas and we want to buy some more time, early enough to still be able to control a very dynamic process.
It was similar in spring due to huge diagnostic capacities and early testing, also high ICU capacities.
Now most have understood we don't have an alternative.
We know those 15% are the reason for tougher restrictions but in a free society (which we want to be) you'll always have a certain number who haven't learnt to act in a responsible way.
If we want to change society towards more solidarity
we will have to start before kids are 4 years old
and lead by example. It's a multi generational task.
In the end it's about human behaviour and that inevitably means brain development. This is mainly not understood. IMO.
Dont move down here , it doesnt work lolGlad to hear.
My chest peak flow capacity is 40 higher than it was last summer but there is still that Asthma cough. It won't go. Maybe I have to move to the coast for a while to get shot if it.
If he wants to give us the holidays then within the next two weeks or soHow long before we have a national lockdown do you reckon ?
A bloke I know is still taking oxygen from a portable tank 6 months later and has just been diagnosed with heart failure. He was severely ill on hospital in the first wave though but is only early 50’s.
Never been a Merkel fan for different reasons, but in this pandemic she is lightyears ahead of other German politicians due to her scientific background.Thanks.
The BBC just said that Merkel wanted to do this two weeks ago but couldn't get countrywide agreement, and told the states/regions they'd all be back this week if they didn't agree. Smart woman.
Some are always going to lose out and it's down to the government to relieve the hit they take.
You're right though, drumming things into the young is needed to change things.
My cousin just had it, she's the same she's about 60 though. Goes to show that it might not kill the young, but it can give them health issues, I hope she recovers soon.Just come off the phone to my daughter who has recently had it. (All clear now).
She is saying she is still catching her breath and feels absolutely exhausted. She tested positive twice and negative last week. Is it normal to still feel shattered and anyone who has has it, how long before energy comes back?

When I'm talking to other people now moaning about gov decisions I don't argue anymore. I only ask what they would particularily do instead as chancellor of 83 million people in the centre of Europe. Not as a single moaner in the pub. That's the difference.
Case by case, but my sister is only 29 and was out of breath for at least 6 weeks after having it pretty badly just before lockdown and now essentially seems to have asthma (although is now otherwise ok). You can't rush it, but it affects everyone differently it seems.Just come off the phone to my daughter who has recently had it. (All clear now).

The rate for Tameside appears to be the highest in Britain btw. I could not find anywhere with a number higher than or even close to 164.7.
My daughter is self isolating for two weeks for the second time this term! Her education in her final GCSE year has been ruined by this virus and this utterly incompetent government.
I have said it before you dont come across that way. you appear to think there is a bottomless pit of money and a balance does not have to be struck between the economy and lives protected. that balance is made with every other diesease and covid should be no different in that respect. where the balance is is the hard bit. Why do you think the chancellor stopped the 80% furlough, because he wanted to or had to?That is not true , i see both and after seeing god knows how many die with my own eyes and consolling relatives then i put life first , the economy has always recovered and it will again
That swap is a fantastic idea for a new movie! Just imagine...Nice approach, That's the key point, that the people in charge have to upset people sometimes. Hope it all works out for you.
I didn't know Merkel's background - could we swap for Johnson, please?
As a country you are far better setup than we are with regional government, OK we have our separate nations, but they are al small compared to England, so there is virtually no local setup here.Never been a Merkel fan for different reasons, but in this pandemic she is lightyears ahead of other German politicians due to her scientific background.

Hopefully, never. In reality, unlikely. Although, deeply unpopular restrictions will probably become the norm, until the end of spring. Anything else then the health and wealth of the nations economy will be beyond fucked.How long before we have a national lockdown do you reckon ?
Fuck that. Bring on the wielders.if the public were given the specific details setting out the parameters “when this happens we will do this” then compliance will be greater and that’s one of the biggest problems at the moment
The economy will be ruined after another six months of this with millions unemployed, without another lockdown. In a few years time the moaners will really be out in force. They dont realise it yet.Hopefully, never. In reality, unlikely. Although, deeply unpopular restrictions will probably become the norm, until the end of spring.
