True story.
Went out for a beer/food tonight to Ricky T’s Bar & Grille in Treasure Island, St Petersburg, Florida - we (four of us) were asked by the barman if we had Coronavirus. We said "no, why?" - he responded "well, you’re from Europe, they all have it there...". |

The behavioural studies and science behind their decisions, suggest banning and quarantining people before the peak has happened would cause people fatigue, they’d eventually get fed up and start to live their lives again and meeting people. The CMO said the virus pretty much can no longer be contained, too many people have the virus. I trust their word and logic behind their explanations. |

That suggests it can be contained. What you mean to say is our Government has decided to value the economic impact over the human impact. You have blind trust in our Government - hardly unexpected to readers of this forum I’m sure - but to suggest this is an evidence based decision is ignoring er, evidence. Countries like Italy will continue to report rises until the full effect of closures flow through the figures. Probably two weeks. Asymptomatic people becoming symptomatic and people they had contact with plus testing catching up with cases. This doesn’t actually mean more people have it - only that we are aware of them. |

If you know of a way of transmitting the spreadsheets he’s working from directly into people’s brains via FM, please contact the BBC as I’m sure they’ll be delighted to hear about it. You’re being obtuse, and you know you are. It’s obvious to all but the wilfully blind (and those who can’t get past their hatred of Tories, or Boris, or both, just because they happen to be the ones acting on advice) that the response to this is being led by the advice and research of world leading experts in the field. |

The BBC, in an effort to justify this, had someone on to say that we are behaviourally different from other cultures. I’d say that self preservation, reducing risk to the self and loved ones, are fairly universal human traits. E.g. look at Premiership footballers. Yesterday happy for half a million fans to attend games in close proximity to complete strangers of unknown health. Today: no playing any more when we’re the ones at risk. Interestingly the Chief Medical Officer is on Radio 5 just now confirming there’s only capacity to test 2000 people per day. So we lack the capacity to establish a true figure if, as Boris claims, 10 000 people could already have it. |
Re: Coronavirus
Oddly enough I had a conversation with the head of waste collection at my local council not so long ago after we had a run of missed wheelie bin pickups ... the conversation wandered a bit and we ended up talking about the design of bins and the way routes are plotted and resources allocated.
The most efficient way of doing it, with wheelie bins, is to tell residents to present their bins facing a certain way, and to deploy a vehicle that can lift them directly from the kerb without having to be manually put onto the metal arm. These are very widely used in Europe. The reason most local councils in the UK don’t use this system - and why some who have tried it have abandoned it - is because we are ... guess what ... behaviourally different than a lot of other places. We simply won’t position our bins exactly the way the council tells us to. As I said, there is social modelling going on here as well as virology. It is simply the case that in the UK if mass gatherings were banned too early, there is a risk people would get bored of official advice and start ignoring it too soon, while the virus was still present in enough people to start a resurgence. |
