Re: Coronavirus
The way the Government is handling everything is scandalous.
Put it this way, if people are abding by sopcial distance. Why have Pubs, and football clubs suffering.
There is no science proof that by closing pubs at a certain time, or even football clubs will prevent the covid spreading.
If getting a ticket at a football match - you purchas say ticket One - then ticket five.
Then with pubs you insist that sopcial distance by getting bar to bring to you as a table - like they are doing at holiday camps.
Then why can't they open.
Joker Boris doesn't have a clue on how to work it out.
We have people being laid off in there thousands, theatres wont open to till next year at the latest. Cinemas closing down.
Its about time that Boris sorted this out before the country, gets into a position that there will NOT be anything to work for .

If people were social distancing and wearing masks, then the virus should've died out by now.
Then again where is the evidence that not closing pubs early wouldn't make a difference. Not possible because this is all uncharted territory.
Football was initially excluded from restrictions and people complained about that. Scientific evidence said that large outdoor gatherings were low risk.
How are other parts of the world doing? Eg Wales, Scotland, France, Spain, and all the other countries on the "quarantine on return" list?

A conducted tour of the White House would achieve this.

Re: Coronavirus
Regeneron sounds like a cosmetic snake oil product. Does it make your skin look younger and more plumped up?

Re: Coronavirus
Data on deaths due to Covid-19 vs Flu / Pneumonia since the start of the year:
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulat...nd31august2020
Quote:
“More than three times as many deaths were recorded between January and August this year where COVID-19 was the underlying cause compared to influenza and pneumonia."
“The mortality rate for COVID-19 is also significantly higher than influenza and pneumonia rates for both 2020 and the five-year average."
“Since 1959, which is when ONS monthly death records began, the number of deaths due to influenza and pneumonia in the first eight months of every year have been lower than the number of COVID-19 deaths seen, so far, in 2020.”

Unsurprising given the way the figures are going.

Re: Coronavirus
If herd immunity isn't going to work what is the solution apart from perpetual lockdown?
