I’ve been ignoring things about this starting in a lab, thinking they meant it was man made in a lab, which I didn’t believe.
I didn’t realise this lab was a bat coronavirus testing lab with actual live bats with coronavirus.
And if true about the state of the working conditions and lack of health and safety in the lab; then China need to be asked some hard questions!
wouldn’t trust any shite from YouTube videos to be honest.
overwhelming majority of leading experts say this didn’t come from a lab.
Without a vaccine it will take quite long to reach herd immunity (if CV remains the same):
Let's say UK herd immunity is 66% of persons infected.
That would be 44m cases for UK.
Let's assume the true number of UK cases is 2m, as an example. Remain 42m to be infected.
Even if we would allow 5,000 new cases any single day from now on
it would take about 23 years to reach 66% HE:
5,000 x365 days x23 yrs = 42m.
23 years. Would you think more than 5k per day is within NHS capacity?
Would it be possible at all to keep R=1 at 5k without overshooting??
We can scrap all those HE theories and just hope for a vaccine.
really?
I've seen roughly 50/50 on how it's come about.
It is true though, the bat type they are blaming isnt anywhere close to where Wuhan is.
As someone pointed out 5,000 new cases a day would take 23 years to build up the 66% herd immunity required. Letting the youngsters mix may well increase that to 50,000 a day and thus reduce the time required to a couple of years.Lockdown the older Generations.....
Free the young let them build up the herd immunity.
The virus is less deadly for the young, they are also less likely to need Hospital treatment.
Why are people not wearing masks and should the Government or the Mayor be held responsible for not trying to make it safer?
Surely the government has to be firmer but at the same time realistic. If they want significant numbers returning to work then the mooted 10% capacity limit for public transport is simply unworkable, social distancing is bound to be compromised, especially in the major cities. So why didn't the government make it compulsory to have the nose and mouth covered before being allowed on public transport rather than just offering "advice" when there's plenty of evidence that a sizeable minority in this country will only heed advice if they're inconvenienced when they ignore it.
No you are rightBut what you're describing there means your mum is meeting more than one person from outside of her household at the same time. And then when meet your cousin and his wife you are meeting more than one person from outside of yours? Not trying to challenge you or anything, just trying to make sense of it. Am I misunderstanding it?
