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.

Don’t respond to my posts then as all of your points I disagree with and vice versa. Good riddance.

What future or life would anyone have if we had to social distance for years. It’s a ridiculous statement to make.

I haven’t moaned about the actual protests itself just the non peaceful side but you are delusional if you think we will be social distancing for years and people will just accept it.

https://mobile.twitter.com/bbcrb/status/126...%7Ctwgr%5Etweet It doesn’t look like there is any social distancing going on in Bristol to be honest. In regards to this statue it is pretty appalling there was a statue of a slave trader in the city something I wasn’t aware of until today. However, I’m failing to understand how it’s acceptable the public take it upon themselves to throw it in the river yet we had people on here yesterday saying everyone was peaceful until the police got involved these actions aren’t peaceful.

I don’t think the public will accept social distancing for ‘years’ as mentioned above.

Less than 200 is quite odd given no other large country who lifted measures in Europe are currently having less than 200 a day. It really baffles me how much people don’t understand that we need to get things moving again and people back into work. I won’t comment further though as that can be for the other thread but saying ideally less than 200 before restrictions are eased is just ridiculous as that may not happen for 3 months.

Central London is quieter today and there are groups of volunteers out scrubbing off the graffiti from the statues in Parliament Square. I’m curious on a couple of the comments above noting restrictions are being lifted too early. Can you please advise what has been lifted too early, we’ve been in some sort of social distancing for nearly 3 months now. What amount of case numbers per day would be acceptable for you for restrictions to have been lifted?

I don’t disagree some police were in the wrong but so were some of the protestors some of them were out yesterday looking for trouble .

It is fair as that’s what it is hysteria, not on this site but take a look at Facebook.

If there are no spike in cases in the next two weeks then I really hope this stops the second wave hysterical mob from losing their minds everytime people leave their homes. We’ve had Easter, VE Day, beach visits, end of May bank holiday and now the protests. The first four haven’t caused cases to grow out of control so I really hope this puts an end to the debate once and for all as to whether specific aspects of our lives can continue to take place without the social media hysteria. I support the protests yesterday despite Quarantilas opinion, I just didn’t like the violence.
