Covid 19

I agree. The actual more realistic cfigure is about 80,000 which is the amount of excess deaths for which there really is only one cause.

My biggest concern for a work return after the summer holidays is travel I never stopped going into work but early on went in by car and when that became to congested travelled on the train and walked but not the tube. Next week will be crunch time as to how much ch ch trains have filled up. I...

I'm glad the English government have seen sense and are allowing people to wear.masks in school and recommending students do so in communal areas . What I don't understand is how every protective measure has to be dragged out of them. Not once have they been pro actively leading in this area ...

I thought you were at pains not to accuse folk here of panic?

I love how Australia is thrown about as evidence that schools are safe. Unlike the UK, we've had very low numbers in the community and have ventilated wide-open spaced schools. Also, we closed our schools in the entire state of Victoria on the 2nd of August for six-weeks with infection numbers...

I haven't seen any study yet on susceptibility to infection yet. Do you have any proof of this statement. The NHS sources I'm reading are saying this is something they are looking.into as a possibility. If this proves to be the case would you then agree that diabetics should have robust measures...

Hopefully yes but not all of us are so lucky as to be able to do so.

Nicola it was you I believe who erroneously posted a 0.08 mortality rate for Covid 19 comparing it with Who figures for flu and SARS trying to tell us this meant there was no need to be concerned . I hunted down the more accurate Who figure of 1% for you which of course rises with vunerability...

Schools remained open throughout the height of the pandemic for the children of key workers and those considered vunerable. For those saying teachers don't normally face danger what has that got to do with anything . Most people who go to work shouldn't expect to die or end up in hospital...

In the UK adults in schools are I believe not allowed to protect themselves and others by wearing masks at work. Edited by moderator for clarity
