Because of saturation (or herd immunity if you prefer that term). 

 

There are less than 2000 people in hospital in England now. We are identifying loads of asymptomatic cases, that we previously wouldn't have identified. If you don't think this is fizzling out, you really haven't looked at the data. Is there still a risk to an 80 year old with hypertension? Yes. Is there a serious risk to your average 25 year old - no. Life always has risks, and in the UK Coronavirus for a healthy person is now a very small risk.

 

I'm off to Spain next week. My mate says that apart from some social distancing, life is pretty much back to normal over there, only you have to wear a mask in the supermarket & you can't sit at the bar.

He’s getting married abroad in September, isn’t he? Can’t remember where though.

Think he said he’s getting married in Britain now but he might be in Spain at the minute.

Apparently so.

Hoping for the UK's sake he hasn't gone to Aragon or Catalonia.

Looks like cases are rising all over the shop, including Belgium and Greece. Maybe some people were right that the lockdown only delayed the inevitable and it's just gonna go through the population whether we like it or not. A virus gonna viral.

This may be the case but as the virus continues to circulate it should start to become less potent as viruses mutate to ensure their host survives more effectively. Also as the treatment options get better this should enable the NHS/healthcare systems to better deal with an influx of new cases- dexamethazone, remdesivir, convalescent plasma, IVIG, vitamin c/d high dosage IVs, anticoagulants, Tociluzimab to block the Cytokine storm etc. Re-organisation of services should also allow for reduced infection rates within hospitals and therefore limit the spread of the disease, leading to less of a peak and therefore potential collapse of services as occurred in Bergamo and some hospitals in Madrid.

 

We'll have to see what happens with the second spike, or whether we can flatten it to a low rolling hill.

 

I find the contrast between England and the other nations in the UK and Ireland interesting, England seems to be going for an 'acceptable' background case rate while the other nations are aiming to quash it all together and then use contact tracing to get on-top of local outbreaks.

Imagine the circle of people this cunt is mixing with if he’s in a minority thinking everyone should wear a seat belt.

You'd think his missus would give him a reminder.

Wonder if SpyBee is wearing a mask on his jollies?

Excess deaths fall for the fifth week in a row; number of deaths in week 29 was 3% below the 5-year average.

Thats great news. We need some respite seeing as 657,000 worldwide have died due to this virus.

I have a trip booked to go to Amsterdam for a couple of nights at the end of next month, all booked and paid for. I have zero interest in going, not least because of the way my feelings about what has happened have been so markedly different from ‘others in the party’, shall we say. I realise as I’m writing this that I haven’t actually seen any of them, apart from my one friend who is definitely not going, since March. Confession time coming up

Didn't he also say that Covid was created by shape shifting lizards who were also responsible for Aids and the Moon Landings?

He'll be ok, though, as we're all getting immunity now and even if we weren't then catching it is akin to a gentle Spring shower and fluffy blankets

The blonde haired cretin is on the news saying the government intends acting ‘swiftly and decisively’ now there are signs of a second wave in mainland Europe.

 

Showing that they’ve learned their lesson, or attempting to change the narrative that will enable them to point to science led action based on a greater understanding of the virus than they claim to have had in Feb/March?

 

I’ve just enjoyed a nice packet of crisps so I’ll be generous and say it’s probably a bit of both.

Oh. My. Word. What a fucking cunt. I don’t think I’ve ever felt more negative feelings on watching someone speak for that short a space of time and first time seeing them. 
 

I’m not even going to attempt any form of airing or explaining my thoughts to that. Fuck me, what a cunt. Fucking hell.

I have been told by multiple civil servants that #Brexit is the reason No10 has U turned on the #SpainQuarantine rule to include the #BalearicIslands & #CanaryIslands to strengthen the UK's negotiation hand!, I will be open to this rumour when France & Germany are targeted.

More birds have deffo been eying me up since i started covering my face. Seems the cosmos has found yet another way to backheel me in the sweetbreads.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Lot of arguments in the Government over here about who should pay the costs for those people who need to be tested after returning from a holiday in a risk area. The health minister for our region has said that anybody who has booked a holiday after things have kicked off should be aware of the risks and foot the bill themselves as have others including the FDP Chairman Christian Lindner.

I have big teeth and a big nose. Thought a mask may make me handsome, alas no

Funnily enough since I started wearing my new mask I’ve been getting the eye quite a bit 

 

[M_B]

A downside to wearing my mask is that I have been forced to smell my own breath. Not good, especially the day after beer and curry.

[TheHowieLama]

Uh-oh...

 

 

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), the nation’s second-largest teachers union, said it will back members to go on strike because of unsafe working conditions in schools.

The AFT said striking should be a “last resort” but demanded several safeguards before schools fully reopen.

The safeguards, according to the union should include: comprehensive contact tracing in areas where classes resume, mandatory masking and updated ventilation systems in facilities

[Mudface]

Those bastards.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

The great mask debate.
