That 100000 was the top end of the estimate of 1 study, there were several others mostly much lower, 50000 seems about the average of all, so it's not unreasonable to go with that number, they are only studies, and based on a whole range of things, some are just computer models, the best study is the ONS as it has actual tests of people who are selected randomly, and will pick up asymptomatic cases.

and some studies showed that a very high petcentage of youngsters were asymptomatic. so the numbers could be even higher. truth is they dont know. its just best guestimates with no plan.

I thought he looked ill/stressed, hardly a surprise given what he's trying to deal with.

Rightly or wrongly he's been trying to keep moral up, but he's realised he had to throw in the towel, that must be pretty stressful.

To keep me happy , i have a very low income basic life mate . You are missing the point entirely , we ALL can catch and spread covid around and it makes people die , simple enough

smoking makes people die but yet shops sell cigarettes? Having unprotected sex can lead to people catching HIV and dying - last I check we can still do that.
Why do some people think we have a right to immortality? Unfortunately part of life is dying.
I am not missing any point at all - my point of view is that I have two ex colleagues who have taken their life since losing their business, I know multiple people who now cannot pay their bills and are struggling to put food on the table for their kids. The long term impact of the way the government are protecting a small minority is going to be huge.

so because you have a low income you are happy because you get to keep it?

Yes hence "cases are still growing" because it's above 1, you said "R" was "accelerating", it isn't, it's dropped slightly.

I never said cases weren't rising, they are, but the rise in cases has levelled off, and my later post show's why.
 
Well if you follow the science you should still be able to meet people outside as long as you are socially distanced. There is no scientific reason why you still cant do this as far as i can tell. I dont see why this has been stopped and yet I can sit on plane or train and be less than 2 m away from someone. I think I am better making my own judgments than listening to this lot. Ive avoided Indoor spaces and public transport. cancelled our holiday as we didn't want to sit on a crowded plane and yet im told i cant sit outside with friends. yet the science says its safe. They are just making it up as they go along.
