I lost my mum to the virus yesterday. She was 86 and had been in a care home for just coming up to six years suffering from alzheimers. The care home seemed to be keeping the virus at bay up unti

Why do you think cases in New York aren't increasing? Or London? Take your time.

Fourth bullet point-

 

There is evidence of higher infection rates in the North West and London.

Would seem a fundamental flaw in herd immunity theory is the fact that you don't stay immune. So, just a couple of hurdles to get over.

 

If that's the case there's going to be a big problem for the efficacy of any vaccine.

The situation there is clearly desperate:

What about other areas in the states or are you only cherry picking? You didn't't answer why you left the North west out when you mentioned London and New York? You didn't acknowledge that London has actually seen a rise in cases?

 

You are basically Boris Johnson on PMQ's with less charisma.

@Stront19m Dog™Agreed - it is worse than it was a few weeks ago. Same as the other places you are jawing about.

 

Oh - I think I forgot to post this:

 

In other news - Israel with nationally imposed lock down for a second time. Three weeks starting today.

 

 

Wonder why?

 

He wont acknowledge anything that goes against his fantasy.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t go out and do things that they enjoy but there has to be common sense, surely?

 

So, basically what you are saying is, with Covid-19 still very much in circulation, people should be free to just do as they please, go out and get pissed, etc, as often as they like, but the vulnerable, those who are unfortunate enough to have physical health issues that put them at risk, should stay indoors indefinitely.

It seems a nonsense suggestion doesn't it?  Especially considering that over 65s make up 18% of the UK population.  What if we factor in 60-65, would we be up to 25%? Plus 0-60 with underlying medical conditions including obesity?  We must now be pushing 40% or even more.  So we agressively protect a huge percentage of the population from the rest?  So okay we protect them, but who looks after them?  Who does their personal care? Who does their shopping?  Who looks after their mental health if they can't have visitors or socialise, or go to work and so on?

 

Edit - some people seem to think that the vulnerable are a small group in this country, they're not, they are everywhere.
