2nd lock down - is close UK

We all gotta catch it one day or get a vacine. Lockdown wont save us. Winter is near and the numbers will go up pretty soon again
 
In my country positive rate is above 15% and the govt act like nothing happened.
 
@davids355 - we bought a large chest freezer in march so we could
stock-it and our tall fridge freezer. if you didnt no, you can freeze milk
for upto 3 months, so we leave 12 pints in the fridge freezer
and freeze around 30 pints in the chest freezer - and it defrosts fine

Frozen milk takes up too much space better off getting a powdered creamed milk lasts for 2-4 years.. .gives you more freezer space :)

Exactly. There's not enough test capacity in our country, and the waiting queue is 5-6 days now if you want to get tested.
I've been having a very dry cough and breathing issues for the second time in a month now.
Got tested last week, and results were negative. (No COVID)

If all people with these symptoms will do this with the winter flu coming up.... people will have to wait in line for a month

big chest freezer - we also have 1k tins of coffee mate
 
Same here in my country each day it is a new record of infected people + students will be back to school soon and I'm sure it's going to be a mess for sure since the government doesn't even have the funds to make sure all schools have the needed materials for health safety such as sanitizer, masks, etc..
 
Not surprised, it's normal life here in the UK, no social distancing happening at all, even in the pubs. They just have the image that we are social distancing with tape, screens ect, but most people are just ignoring social distancing.

The only significant step the public have taken is masks.

Aye so if thats all your really using it for Nestle Nido Milk comes in 2.5Kg tins was about 16 quid dunno how much it is now (more I suspect) but makes a good coffee :)
 
It is just depressing, nothing else.
Lockdown is not going to curb the virus, it just delays it. As soon as the lockdown is opened, infections will rise again. India is a live example of this.

Govt. should increase the testings,instead of lockdown. It will only hurt the economy and the people.
You are absolutely right.

Also, I don't think it is justified. This is not a killer virus. The people are acting like every other person is going to die, but it is bullshit. 99% of the people are fine.

I just don't see how the mortality rate etc. are justifying the destruction of the economy. I mean, WAY MORE people are going to suffer WAY MORE from the lockdown, than they will from the virus.

To be fair, I was in Korea from March until July. Almost no social distancing as well. I remember every day when I was sitting in a Starbucks, it would be crowded as fuck. No seat left. People next to each other just with centimeters of distance. The same goes for the subway over there. Every day, everywhere in the city and probably in the whole country. Meanwhile, there were no consequences. No increase of cases.

Oh yeah forgot 99% of the population is young and healthy. No issues there.

As said many time before it has nothing to do with how deadly it is.

Okay, what then?

As far as I remember the ultimate goal was to "flatten the curve". Nobody wanted scenes like in Italy or China with overcrowded hospitals and no beds in the ICU left. It was never the goal to get rid of the virus. You can't get rid of the virus.

You can make a lockdown for two months now and after this get back to normal. Guess what will happen? The same shit will repeat over and over again.
 
No problem, just make sure u have nice girl to spend lockdown with! Girl and work, u are set

It's about how quickly it can spread or be passed on without you having any symptoms.

If it passed on to enough people fast enough it could cripple infrastructure or put pressure on other areas / systems that are in place. That's what I've always seen as the real threat nothing about how its going to be a mass killing.

All you need is to infect a few hundred thousand people at the same time and they all pass it on to the next bunch of people and before you have it you possibly have millions of people off stick trying to recover from anything 7-20 days if not longer based on what some symptoms and after effects people are posting.

Now makes no difference if you are young or old but if you take out a bunch of people in two power stations or shut down 2-3 hospitals in an area because they are sick how do you cope then? No one might die, but if you can't open 3 super markets in an area or taken on emergency trauma victims where do they go - where does the pressure of that problem get passed on to.

As I said all this could happen, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow. No one knows much about this virus or what long term effects it had ALL we do know is how quickly it can be passed on and the various ways it can be transmitted and that's where the precautions come from.
 
There's not going to be a second nationwide lockdown.

Just regional lockdowns and some restrictions.
 
Another lockdown on the way? oops its time to shift the work to home again
 
These rules make no sense. So going out in groups of more than 6 is illegal but you go to eat or go bowling or whatever where you'll be surrounded by scores of people anyway?? I don't know who's coming up with these stupid rules but they need shooting.

Luckily no one is paying attention. You look like more of an imbecile wearing a mask around here than you do not wearing one.

It doesn't make sense if you look at it like that.

Ideally the theory is that you can be in a group of no more than 6 without social distancing (I imagine) BUT if you go bowling you should be 2m apart from the other group...

Problem is people won't follow it now. People don't follow it currently and based on my limited visits from the shops, shop keepers don't know what 2m is based on the distance of the stickers on the floor!

UK won't hit another lockdown OR if they do it will be after October they can't "lockdown" to the extent they did before not just after they got kids back in school.. at least that's my theory anyway.

The local down not far from me in Wales is daft again its a full lockdown in Caerphilly. But you can still go outside of Caerphilly if you need to travel to work just you can't let friends outside of that county enter from another.

Its a fine line the gov are trying to balance and they just can't seem to find the "right" way at the moment.

The real answer to the entire problem is introduce a basic living wage for all and just lock down and get business back up and running later.

Personally I think if the situation were as dire as the media appeared to imply during the early months and are still trying, we'd have known about it by now. I don't know what the deal is but it's starting to appear less about the virus and more about other ulterior motives. Unfortunately the messages of anyone who begins to propose any thoughtful rationale end up getting mixed up in this nonsense about 5g and such crap.

If anyone is out and about on a daily basis you'll see the normality being regained in public places at this point seems like it's down to an intuitive disbelief regarding any supposed pandemic. Is it justified? I think so.

So no second lockdown yet, but gatherings indoors and outdoors is limited to 6 people max, or £100 fine. However team sports is exempt up to 30 people. Makes no sence.
