Elixir Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 11 minutes ago, PedroMoutinho said: Imo the huge increase is because we’ve opened schools and everything else at the same time. Even opening on July 19th would’ve given 3 more weeks for nightclubs etc to bed in. Remember we were still actually in level 0.5 until 2 weeks ago with pubs having to close early and social distancing. Pretty much this. England will also see a rise, but It shouldn't be as dramatic as our has been, proportionately speaking. The spike we're seeing now is likely related to the 9 August reopening as well as schools going back. Remember that cases plummeted down south after the Euros despite 19 July before increasing again after a couple of weeks and subsequently levelling out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t take a genius to work out that cases will rise when schools reopen. So why not use the 7 weeks of them being shut and people are generally outside more to get everything else open instead of delaying just to appear more caring than England?

Detournement Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 2 hours ago, Elixir said: There is now convincing evidence that immunity from natural infection is indeed actually superior to that provided by vaccination. Fantastic news, but also quite hilarious how many 'experts' were acting like this was some new alien super bug that would remain this deadly forever and that immunity would wane after three months. Hence why I didn't bother getting vaccinated. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s way worse than being stuck at home. At home I can knock one out whenever I want. It’s way harder at work. All the more reason to knock one out, I would have thought. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Home Nations Daily update : UK Average 344.5 to 349.6 up 1.48%, England 329.9 to 332.0 up 0.64%, Wales 348.5 to 357.5 up 2.58%, Northern Ireland 629.1 to 626.0 down 0.49% England is still rising albeit very slowly as opposed to what a couple of posters have said. What is interesting is that as Scotland soars day after day, Northern Ireland may have peaked. Be an absolute shocker to surge past them but I think when I report on Monday that will be the case. We may also well become world champion gold medalist infectors on Monday as the former Soviet Republic of Georgia is dropping sharply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I wasn't that bothered about getting the vaccine, I'm not old or have any health issues and I'm not too keen on needles, but got one due to the much hinted 'once everyone is vaxxed, we'll get things back to normal' stuff that the government were saying. I caught covid last weekend and the symptoms started on Tuesday afternoon. It's felt like the worst bout of flu I've ever experienced. I'm a bit better now, but still feel a bit shit. I dread to think what it would have been like unvaccinated. It's obviously up to individuals if the want to get jagged or not, but it might end up being a bit more than 'mild cold symptoms' you end up catching. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 England will end up rampant as usual. Apply restrictions and Nicola will follow suit. Seems to be the MO.There is zero chance of England reintroducing restrictions in any situation bar a vaccine evading variant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleMoo Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 There is zero chance of England reintroducing restrictions in any situation bar a vaccine evading variant. Apparently they have been crunching some numbers to see where the tipping point is.https://inews.co.uk/news/boris-johnson-privately-accepts-up-to-50000-annual-covid-deaths-as-an-acceptable-level-1170069I suspect the article is a load of shite but would be surprised if there hasn't been some kind of financial/death weighting done by the government. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Shouldn't they be penning the same letter to the Scottish Government at this point? Of course, they wouldn't actually do that as they're largely cut from the same cloth. Shameless grifters, though it fair hoodwinked a few on here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said from the start that, rightly or wrongly, we're prepared to accept a 5-figure number of flu deaths each year so why can't the same apply to COVID? It's also the case that the Venn diagram of "people likely to die from flu" and "people likely to die from COVID" is near-enough a circle, so the vast majority of COVID deaths will be instead of rather than in addition to those from flu. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
