Re: Coronavirus
The problem with too many lockdowns is people will just snap and ignore it at some point.

Probably all live with their parents,so they go home and pass on the virus to those who have stuck rigidly to the rules since march because they are classed as vulnerable.

Judging the evidence it seems they are ignoring the rules and advice that are supposed to keep us all safe.

Especially when lockdown rules are undermined by a government advisor as l would imagine public compliance to lockdown rules since were severely underminded by this incident.

So who did Cummings meet up with? NOBODY.
It's not so much any gatherings, but people that have been making contact with others BEFORE that gathering. This virus doesn't sit around for months, and only reappear at a gathering. There has to be a chain of transmission going on. If a group of people who have been isolating one way or another, get together, there should be little or no risk. The problem comes from somebody who hasn't been isolating, possibly for legitimate reasons, eg essential worker.

Re: Coronavirus
Coronavirus: Tests 'could be picking up dead virus'
Most people are infectious only for about a week, but could test positive weeks afterwards.
Researchers say this could be leading to an over-estimate of the current scale of the pandemic.
But some experts say it is uncertain how a reliable test can be produced that doesn't risk missing cases.

I am just waiting for the government to finally wake up to the fact that fighting the virus by lockdowns is futile. We cannot carry on like this.
If the scientists are correct and that our later national lockdown made little impact on the virus (in that the peak we reached would have been virtually the same had we not done so), then there will be no second wave here that will have an unacceptable impact on the NHS.
And when will it dawn on people that the reason the number of infections are still going up again has rather something to do with the fact that we are testing more? The number of hospital admissions and the number of deaths recorded both remain very low.

THIS article from three months ago suggests a similar theory.

Re: Coronavirus
There's various theories. Not clear to me which one is most likely. The number of deaths seems to be staying low, either because treatments are getting better or because the vulnerable are shielding.
