Personally im not so sure shutting schools would make that much of a difference. Having spoken to the head teacher of our school she is certain that they have had no pupil to pupil transmission, the issue appears to be outside of school and pupils gathering together outside of school, parents not isolating or bothering to follow the guidance and some parents even allowing sleep overs!

She is certain no pupil to pupil transmission? Interesting claim. And one she could never, ever, ever hope to or be able to substantiate. Unless of course, each individual pupil, whilst in school, wears a hermetically sealed diving outfit. Next time you speak to her, ask her:
a.how she can be 100% certain that no asymptomatic pupils are spreading it
b. how she is able to identify the exact place of transmission
The whole world would love to know.
Not a criticism of you by the way CLBlue, just calling bollocks on the head's claim.
 
Of course, the deaths are awful. And I don't think anyone is intentionally minimising them.

Quite the reverse feeling good if it looks like we are turning a corner in this fight is because it means this may well be the upper limit of what we see of these tragedies and fewer and fewer people will be dying as we start to come out of the second wave.

It still might not happen. The long winter ahead is still looming and a third wave is not impossible if we do not get it right before the vaccines hopefully arrive.

But we need positive thinking to get us through the dark days ahead or we will have a mental health crisis once this is over from people paying for the depression this has created psychologically.

Positive thinking is needed for sanity. When it is justified. And for now it looks to be.
 
This is the way I see it. We’ve won the lottery with this vaccine. We’ve got the ticket hidden in the jar on the top shelf until Camelot send the limo to pick us up and take us to HQ for a picture with those big cheques they do.

By taking unnecessary risks to have a Christmas, some ppl are about to take that cheque, put it in their back pocket and go out on a 10hr binge with their mates and risk losing it.

Tread carefully my friends, tread very carefully......

Wise words 10 hours of drinking can affect your equilibrium :-)
 
Silly mare - still this is what comes of getting your legal advice off Toby Young's twitter feed. I mean didn't she notice that solicitors offices in the High Street hadn't remained open with Magna Carter on the door? She would have been better served taking their legal lead rather than that of the Tobemeister

 
Won't be seeing any family indoors personally even if we're allowed. Seems a needlessly risky thing to do at the moment given everything just for one day. Don't want to give it to my mum or dad. I'll wait a few more months until things look a little better numbers wise/vaccines etc.

Christ.
Some of the replies are gold though.

that comedian Simon Evans sketch i posted earlier came from that Toby Young free apiece movement. Surprised Evans is playing to the new ‘plandemic’ market.
Then again, everyone is going nuts atm.

So both a Wetherspoons mixed grill and turkey with all the trimmings make you immune. I reckon other breakthroughs may happen over time

Chow mein in January
Roses in February
Guinness in March
Cadbury’s creme egg in April.

The state of it all pmsl.

Head teacher as well, baffling.
 
The recent 60-minutes broadcast about Corna-virus "long haulers" is, frankly, deeply worrying.

Many individuals, having contracted COVID-19 but displaying very minor symptoms - are now, having fully recovered from COVID-19, experiencing long term physical side effects - elevated heart rate, migraines, loss of balance, inability to concentrate, extreme pain in the arms and legs, difficulty walking, and so on and so forth.

Possibly the immune system in these individuals has kicked into overdrive, causing damage to tissues and organs throughout the body.

No, Mr. Trump - COVID-19 isn't at all like the flu.
