Coronavirus (2021) thread

Crazy and scary as a plan which I doubt most scientists would ever approve but potentially one a desperate government would consider as a last resort perhaps

There are many MPs who openly support this: vaccinate the "vulnerable" then open up and let the rest catch it

Are we gonna be put into even more of a lockdown

We’ve never been in lockdown, we’ve just had different levels of restrictions.

Hasn't a City player had it twice a few months apart? Or tested positive which may not necessarily be the same thing.

Keep seeing Torres has, but I don’t remember him testing positive before, Mahrez and Laporte were the only ones earlier in the season that I remember. So I don’t think so.

You think this is a lockdown? People going on holiday claiming it is work, coffee shops now classed as essential along with places like garden centres, estate agents etc, traffic double what it was in March / April. Some lockdown

Had my jab today, nice young chap in nhs tracksuit came round, very polite, gave him my 160 quid and stuck 189 Gramme dart in my arm, nice to see Phil the power Taylor sponsoring it too.

You've been ripped off, I'd have done it for 150. And I have proper hypodermic needles, not the one ones you use on humans but dogs for injecting insulin. No major sise effects guaranteed although you might feel a little ruff.

London underground as packed as usual apparently

Was that peak of people with covid confirmed as testing wasn’t done like now ?

They have upgraded it a couple of times over the past 9 months when extra cases were defined as being Covid from April when they were not at the time because of limited testing. So I guess it is as close as we can get.

The North West peak was originally 2890 but after numbers were last updated a few weeks ago to redefine past cases now regarded as Covid but not included then they have back dated the records to April and that first wave peak became 3065.

This was done across the UK.

That was why I asked the question because of what is happening

The Covid deniers have been humiliated but they are still dangerous

The false claim that lockdowns do not work endangers lives – politicians and public figures must aggressively rebut it.
