Maybe so, but I doubt the UK public will see the benefit of them. By the time any verdicts are announced we'll be pretty much back to normal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how the garbled nonsense of FACTS will be updated. It's *not* been updated, as it still makes fomite transmission a focus. Adding new things has always happened. But taking the outdated advice away never does. Obviously "you don't need to wash your hands anymore" isn't what I mean, but the Government need to convey that it's not necessary to sanitise multitouch surfaces after each use, or your hands before you enter a building, because the impact is minimal. There's simply no need for restaurants and bars to have to put santiser on each table, nor for people to greet and panic if the table they are at doesn't have any.

Many people will be incorrect and I wouldn't expect him to deviate from the WHO in fairness, but the arrogance/aggression combo is something else.

Remember how blase many people in the uk were at the beginning, untill they went full on lord of the flys obviously We were told by the likes of Jason Leitch that we didn't need to lockdown and mass events could keep going ahead. The UK approach was very much an outlier in European terms and it is safe to say that it went very badly. Given that this was from our "experts", people were entitled to take it at face value and carry on as they were. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leitch is another example of an "expert" acting like a voice of authority on things they do not fully understand. As much as I loathe the likes of Sridhar and Leitch, the enquiry should focus on why "experts" were allowed to publicly air and present their opinions on topics far outwith their areas of expertise whilst passing them off as qualified facts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 This couldn't possibly be linked to 'long Covid', could it? Quote Posted at 9:18 The fear of illness making people quit jobs and move home People who obsessively worry about their health have often been dismissed at hypochondriacs. But for some, coronavirus has fuelled a rise in a debilitating mental health condition known as health anxiety. In March 2020, Ben quit his job as a bus driver. Whenever he was off shift he couldn't stop thinking about how one of his passengers must have had Covid-19 and infected him. Within a fortnight, Ben had moved out of his family home in Birmingham and into in an empty student house that his friends had left. "I kept thinking about being in a place where no-one was going in or out," he says. Despite leaving home and quitting his job, his anxiety about getting infected still dominated his thoughts. Ben was experiencing health anxiety. 'Health anxiety took all logic away from me', says Cherelle FarrugiaImage. "When people say it's just light anxiety - it almost took my life," says Cherelle Farrugia, from Cardiff, who runs a YouTube channel about living with health anxiety. "When we first got told about this virus, it was just my worst nightmare," the 28-year-old says. "I know everybody was inside but I couldn't even open my window. My partner would do the food shopping and I would sit there on the floor for an hour washing it. There was a real ritual over it."
