Yeah. It was late 70's. Watched something the other night about it.Did it,i thought it was late 80's thing,time flies,the advert with the gravestone was chilling,i often thought they should have brought that back when the campaign to get everyone to wear a condom was about
It was early 80's that it started showing up as an issue though it had been around and not known about before then.Did it,i thought it was late 80's thing,time flies,the advert with the gravestone was chilling,i often thought they should have brought that back when the campaign to get everyone to wear a condom was about
Try a good 75% away. I reckon circa 5% of the population have caught this so far. If I am right then that would mean trying to get herd immunity before a vaccine or effective treatment would mean another 15x the current 30 to 40 thousand dead. It's an insane "strategy".
I hope he recovers ok,i can't help but think we are about to run before we can walkA lad who I know has now been on a ventilator for 12 days and whilst stable has shown little progress. It brings home how nasty this illness is. When they do start lifting restrictions, people still need to be careful. This fella is 52.
Who says they dont spread it? The whole idea of keeping school closed is that they can't catch it from each other and take it home and why grandparents haven't been able to see their grandkids for two months and why kids of key workers who can't be looked after by their grandparents are at school
I am going to stick with this bit of your linkIt's complicated and counter intuitive compared with flu. Kids are definately not superspreaders and barely show up at all in contact tracing studdies.

Anyway we just have to watch Switzerland. If they are successful opening primary schools then so can we - subject to controlling the congregation of adults at the gates of course because they can spread it.
"Lockdown wasn't necessary as social distancing alone would work." Good grief - without a lockdown, and everyone still going to work, how do you do social distancing on trains and planes and in offices?Extensive study by the University of East Anglia finds that other than stopping mass gatherings and closing schools the lockdown has had little effect

Just need the Bluemoon experts to set them straight please.
As I said, we just have to watch the Swis experiment and if it is successful then adopt it en masse.I am going to stick with this bit of your link
But the science is far from settled. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says kids “can still pass this virus onto others who may be at higher risk, including older adults and people who have serious underlying medical conditions.” And other studies show children continue to display similar transmission abilities as adults, leading experts to caution against trusting kids not to spread the disease
It makes no sense what you say about it not being the kids but parents picking them up from school,we won't learn everything based on primary schools alone ,what about all the other age groups at school,if I go with kids not transmitting it then what about when they get to 15/16, more adult than children
Kids don't get symptoms,they have and can pass it on like everyone else
Never going to happen based on one country,not whilst the other main countries don't agreeAs I said, we just have to watch the Swis experiment and if it is successful then adopt it en masse.
