I dont understand this track and trace thing.
How on earth if someone has CV19 say for example in a shop that I have been in possibly know where I live etc?

They wouldn’t but most people in the shop should just be a passing contact either at 2 metres or with a mask. Closer contacts who you’ve spent more time with would be traceable.

They are trying to find high probability contacts not someone you passed in a shop, however if you stood face to face with the shop assistant over a short distance they could be asking you which shops did you go into and did you have prolonged conversation with an assistant and try and find them, I would guess.
 
Covid has only been around for 10 weeks so that would equate to 5 people hit by lightning and 33 dead from Covid = 6.6 times higher


Again 40 dead under the same time frame as Covid = 6.3 times higher.


So Covid-19, in a society with all the restrictions imposed for the last 10 weeks, produces a slightly lower death toll than a bad influenza year, where no restrictions were imposed at all.

And you extrapolate this data to mean Covid-19 isn't that bad?
Good post fella.

Your maths is wrong (by a factor of about 2), but the points still stand. I said exactly the same about 3 posts before yours

Boris Johnson admitted today that the UK did NOT learn from the SARS and MERS.
No shit.
It still hasn't learnt by the looks of safety measures on the tube and public transport.

Again 40 80 dead under the same time frame as Covid = 6.3 3.15 times higher.

:D Cheers Mr. Swede :D

;) Should I mention seasonal trends? Or should I just let you extrapolate yearly averages from 3month covid19 stats? ;)

:D Either way, the points still stand :D

I wish you were on question time a couple of weeks ago to spell a couple of things out to that Johnson guy (no, not that one!) from Pizza express. Very dangerous individual and why he was permitted the air time I'll never know.
 
So the prediction by Neil Ferguson of 500k dying wasn't over egged? Even he changed his mind a few days later.

It is serious, no doubting that. But is it serious enough to devastate the country for years to come, massively impact children's well-being and education and lead to countless deaths from suicide, cancer etc? Clearly any pandemic is a shite situation and whichever route you take it's going to have a huge impact on people. Looking at this particular virus it's clear that we have handled it wrong. Those who are fit and healthy shouldn't have been locked down and those who are elderly or have serious medical conditions should have been protected better.

Your final point about it killing a good chunk of those who catch it is garbage unless you are counting 0.5% or whatever it turns out to be as a big chunk.
Spot on. Well said.
