A few weeks ago there was mass outrage in tabloids at the prospect of a “herd immunity” strategy being adopted. Now everyone is advocating for a lifting of the lockdown despite us averaging 700 odd deaths a day.

We’re supposed to be on lockdown yet B&Q is open for business. Possible this should go into the political thread but government needs to stop obfuscating. Media and general population will be split on whichever they do.

exactly. 700 odd deaths reported a day on average, but the media on overdrive to get people back to work, shopping and in restaurants.

as you suggest it goes against public opinion. But it’s all about money and money always seems to win.
 
Another day, another indication that Rt approximately equals 1. I wonder how long it will take Whitty, Vallance and boys to state what needs to be done?
 
I want to know where all those having heart attacks and strokes are,are they dying at home? If so there will be a post mortum,will we see a big jump in the ONS total figures later on? Visits to A&E are down by 50%,people must still be breaking bones etc,it is a mystery

People are not going to the drs/hospital with cancer symptom either
 
Are there still people saying we are past the peak? Or we are on the road to recovery. Sure as hell doesn’t feel like it.

we’ve been in so called lockdown for a month now and we are still getting 800 deaths a day - probably a lot more with care homes.

my thinking is that we haven’t really been in a lockdown at all, compared to other countries. Lots of people still in close contact and socialising. Went for my weekly shop today and there was loads of cars on the road and people on walks.

we are also still letting people fly into the country without being checked, which beggars belief

I can’t see how we can come out of this (lockdown) for a few months yet.

I’m good thanks. My heads gone a bit, but I’ve got my family helping me out at the minute, which is helping.

It’s hard not to be depressed by all the news, but coming on here and trying to keep busy is probably the best cure for that. How are you doing?
 
Daily briefing

Fall in over all crime figures

Multiple arrests for drugs,fraud,selling fake covid tests and treatment kits @hgblue bet the one you talked about is one of them, boy racers etc

The wrong uns are still out there and are standing out

24 firearms have been seized

1.7 tons +of drugs seized

A paedo trying to get in had been napped

Loads more crime stuff


They know how difficult it is for everyone,what we are doing is working but we must stick to the rules,the data in all areas is still too high and the risk of a second peak is still there

Medical

NHS is open,please use it via gp,111 or 999

Movement of people,car use is going up a bit

Apple maps (?)

It will not take much to let the virus spread again

New cases ,stable

Hosp patients,steady reduction

Critical care patient numbers are declining

Deaths in hospital,trend towards a decline,this will be the last figure to drop

Global deaths,tiny bit up on italy today

Sure heard it can be upto at leat 5 days and upto 5 weeks after symptoms. I didn't mention average i said upto.

EDIT. Yep just checked, can be upto 14 days to show symptoms but average 5 and upto 5 weeks after symtoms to die.
 
I don’t normally sit and watch these UK briefings, but from today’s this Medical official isn’t very good at giving a straight answer to these questions is he? You kind of expect a roundabout answer from politicians, but expected better from him.
 
When is Boris back for these briefings?
We need him answering these questions, its the same questions every day.
