Positive cases are going to happen from now until a vaccine (if ever found) so why is there an obsession to lock down just because of positive cases if said positive cases are not becoming ill / hospitalised? Surely positive cases without hospitilisation is a good thing as immunity is built in the community without serious illness.
No, it wasn't: Coronavirus: How does the Covid-19 alert level system work?It was the rationale for lockdown. And the key marker for lifting restrictions. So to change the goalposts now is a complete reversal of the reasoning for lockdown. I feel you haven't watched enough information, but hey ho.
Or that sufferers don't suffer any lasting effects, including effects that may make them more susceptible to a worse infection later on, either from a second dose of covid or a more mundane illness like flu .
There's been a very small number of probable reinfection cases reported yes but no proper studies conducted on it I don't think yet.
Reinfections don't bode well for a viable vaccine... though I guess if they are really rare.. I dunno..
If you dont need hospitilisation then its cant be defined as seriously ill surely. Ill yes, but not serious enough for hospital treatment.You seem to be assuming that people aren’t getting seriously ill unless they are hospitalised.
It was actually the 5 tests being met that was the driver behind lock down restrictions being eased. Number 1 - the NHS being ovrwhelmed.No, it wasn't: Coronavirus: How does the Covid-19 alert level system work?
Deaths not mentioned, all about transmission.
Yes, that's my point you're making there.It was actually the 5 tests being met that was the driver behind lock down restrictions being eased. Number 1 - the NHS being ovrwhelmed.
Coronavirus lockdown: Are the five tests being met?
Ministers have set five tests for easing restrictions in England. How are we doing?www.bbc.com
The NHS is not overwhelmed.Yes, that's my point you're making there.
You said it was deaths didn't you?
The alert system is based on cases. As I pointed out in my previous link. Cases is test 3 in your link. "NHS being overwhelmed" is test 1 in your link. However, all tests need to be clear, not just one.The NHS is not overwhelmed.
So surely you continue to shield / protect the vulnerable while re-opening to everyone else.
If you dont need hospitilisation then its cant be defined as seriously ill surely. Ill yes, but not serious enough for hospital treatment.
even then, this kind of talk implies that people of are less value cos of their vulnerabilities and because of their potential lesser economic value - fuck that quite frankly
FOCThe NHS is not overwhelmed.
Its not that at all. But, locking down the whole of society just trashes the economy which will cause more long term deaths than covid. Whereas, targeted shielding, with a functioning economoy could be used to pay for shielders and vulnerable to remain protected while the economy continues to function. All we have have is nothing - for anyone. Once furlough ends its going to be a catastrophe.even then, this kind of talk implies that people of are less value cos of their vulnerabilities and because of their potential lesser economic value - fuck that quite frankly

Um, Masks havent worked in Spain or France. Quite the opposite in fact.Masks will reduce infection rates and then reduce the risk of another lockdown. Don't know why anti lockdown types are so against masks.
How?
Suicide, poverty, cancelled cancer (and other) surgeries across the NHS. Have you not seen the backlog of cancer referals which dropped off a cliff due to Covid taking priority.
Do you think ending the furlough scheme is going to help with suicide or poverty at all?Suicide, poverty, cancelled cancer (and other) surgeries across the NHS. Have you not seen the backlog of cancer referals which dropped off a cliff due to Covid taking priority.
Sorry. I didn't realise that you weren't allowed to rerference You tube. If you'd like to see how low hospital admissions are at present then feel free to take a look.why are we even responding to this idiot, who thinks youtube videos are 'evidence' for their claims?
