Ha yes probably was about me. The people on this thread are utterly delusional and live in a world where they can’t have differing opinions and get on their moral high ground about everything it is ridiculous. And of course there is another second wave article in the last couple of posts, these people will be crying about a second wave that doesn’t come for the next ten years.

What are you even talking about ?

Well of course they would have an issue on it many people on this forum can’t tolerate an opinion that is different from theirs and get all heated over an Internet forum

Interesting article I read this morning: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-...-breakdown.html It does feel like the months of lockdown and pressures that come with it is resulting in a large amount of the country being extremely restless and I can only see this getting worse as time goes on. The young people doing a lot of these things are bored, out of work and out of focused education and the mental impact this is having on them is leading to this anger being taken out in various forms. I do question myself what young people are expected to do at this point when all of the things they live for at that age have been taken away.

No surprise Piers Morgan ripped him to shreds this morning he really is as thick as brick being so unaware

Some age analysis of new US infections In Texas: Young adults driving the spike. https://texastribune.org/2020/06/16/texas-c...-young-adults/… In Arizona: COVID cases growing 2X faster among ages 20-44 than 65+. In Florida: Median age of new COVID cases fell from 65 in March to 35 this week —> https://twitter.com/dkthomp/status/1275061694604115968?s=21 I had mentioned a few posts back that the US death rate continues to drop despite cases accelerating and this is probably why.

Do you have a source for this as the two new positive cases today were a couple who came back from India. I can’t find any information on other positives linked to these two women.

I had an antibody test and it was negative. Not convinced it is accurate as I had a lot of the symptoms including loss of taste and smell back in March. Given I was on the underground everyday back in early March I can’t think what else it would have been. So either faulty test, anti bodies don’t last long or I never had it in the first place.

The stats are interesting at the moment as Peru, Chile, Pakistan will over take all of the European countries within the next couple of weeks, other than the U.K., yet have really low death rates in comparison, I guess we have to assume these countries are not recording all deaths or there are other reasons why Europe has been more susceptible to high deaths. .

Reasons noted above and densely populated favelas.

55,000 new cases in Brazil today. I believe this is the one day peak above any other country now. The US death rates seem to be consistently below 1,000 now. Interesting that cases have always been 20,000+ per day but deaths have steadily decreased. It would be good to know why in terms of whether the virus is weakening, whether medical staff are now better equipped and more knowledgeable on how to deal with the virus or whether the most vulnerable who would have been susceptible to the virus have already passed.

You have zero evidence to prove that is what specifically kept the first wave afloat,

Is this the second wave that was coming after Easter, VE Day, end of May bank holiday and all the trips to the beach?

The opening of shops is not likely to cause a significant impact at all and hasn’t in any other country that reopened shops. The increase in R has been attributed to within hospitals particularly the outbreak at Wester Super Mare hospital staff. It was stated at the briefing today we are moving from community incidence, to over time more local, discrete, individual outbreaks, including in hospitals and other settings.

I think you will actually find the majority of my comments regarding ending lockdown were centred around seeing family which is now possible.
