Well done mate, keep it up.

Thanks blue.I`ve now decided to make a new thread so this one doesn`t get bunged up with non virus posts.

Antibodies can sometimes only last a short while - that would make passporting awkward

Yes,i think we have put too much stock in immunity,too many assumptions made on the back of other viruses

What was the gist mate.

Precis,at this time of night? I should have tabbed to the end. Basically I can see actually see data that shows where the Govt gets its figures re 14 days isolation , etc.. It's not just all made up like I'm sure some think

And we should be imo, I know my life has not been impacted like other peoples and I am pretty much going about my business as normal, with added precautions obviously.

I get up, go to work, deliver food supplies, spend all day rubbing myself with anti-bac wash, clock off and come home, walk the dog, cook tea and play on PC all night and that is my sad life 24/7.

I can't imagine what it feels like to be caged in a block of flats for instance, I guess it must be hard due to all the people willing to break the rules to get out at all opportunities.

We have it easy here. I have a friend who lives in Tenerife and her three kids haven't left the apartment in about six weeks, maybe longer. Not even allowed out for a walk or exercise which I think is draconian and mentally unhealthy.

The common cold is one of the Coronavirus. We have not produced a vaccine yet. Herd immunity is the only way. Our chief scientific officer let the cat out of the bag months ago -as long as the NHS is not over whelmed we can cope. It's only this. Alas this thing will run it's course and we can only mitigate

 

[paulchapo]

We , or anybody else for that matter aren’t staying locked down until we have a vaccine.

We'll see. It depends on if effective treatments can be found rather than people spending a couple of weeks on a ventilator. Once people can be given stuff to take it home it may happen.

OANN asking a question to allow Trump to slate Pelosi and Schumer!

Oh, and "I don't care about politics". Um, okay then.

We have friends in Spain and I believe it is a really heavy fine if you are caught out and about with no good cause, also you are to go directly to the nearest supermarket even if it isn't the one you use normally or again you will be nailed to the floor.

Maybe not so bad if you have a solarium or a roof terrace with shade but probably few and far between for normal family homes.

It will be mental torture for a lot of people, no doubt about it.
