Re: Coronavirus
For what it’s worth, and in fairness, I do think Pierre is making a very good point. However we don’t have the confidence a) that we are quickly finding cases or b) that test, trace, isolate is finding contacts.
Without this you end up stuck modelling growth - which is unfortunately inevitable without the above. We can introduce these measures now, or in two weeks, or in four. All we will have to show for it is more ill people and more deaths. It won’t save the economy, it’s only likely that the restriction phase will run for a longer period of time before we enter a phase of reduced restrictions. Whitty and Vallance are already on record saying we are likely to cycle in and out for months to come. The question isn’t the merits of the restrictions, it’s the merits of delay. If we are going to keep restrictions until test, trace, isolate gets under control and figures drop to 5,000 a day or so it’s better to start now. |

So they haven't been following the science over the last few weeks and cases have spiralled. From here on in the Govt is solely responsible.

Our Nightingale in Manchester is now being prepared and hopefully if this is used as more than just an overflow area it may allow some of the routine operations to go ahead. |
Re: Coronavirus
Today, the local press are stating that our area has:
1) A large drop in the number of positive cases reported. 2) An increase in those hospitalised with (not due to) the virus. 3) Getting nearer to the level 2 of lockdown due to a rise in cases (see 1 ) I've now traded in the tin foil hat for a shotgun, and will be going press reporter hunting . . when I find which school they attend :dozey: |

Two of the people currently being treated are in intensive care units, although it has not been confirmed whether they are using ventilators. https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/n...spital-4601474 The next thing to happen will be a fake food shortage just to ramp up the panic, followed by full lockdown then the vague promise of being allowed some kind of reduced xmas celebration. |

Re: Coronavirus
We need to take the Swedish approach. Raise public expenditure to nearly 50% of GDP and invest in infrastructure. Raise effective tax rates for the most well off. Raise capital gains tax. 14 days sick pay for all.
