Take all your kids away to Bridlington for a few days R&R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same rate, unchecked, we will be at 48,000 in 5 weeks. That’s just simple maths. It’s not politics, it’s not project fear. This was 2 weeks ago when people were questioning the graphs by the experts. My calculations would have had us on 12,000 cases today. It’s actually over 14,000. Again, unchecked, they will reach the figures forecast by Witty and Vallance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My calculation, not prediction, was 5 weeks. Whether it’s mid or end of October, is irrelevant. Cases are rising exponentially. Any government, anywhere in the world (maybe not US) cannot ignore that forecast/prediction/projection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm out at the moment At current rate, won't we be at around 50,000/day by about 25.10? - So when they (Witty & Valance) were apparently just trying to "terrify" the country......they were actually only a couple of weeks out. I'm sure Peely will be along soon, to give accurate numbers, as I'm trying to remember what I heard on LBC earlier (when I wasn't really paying attention) 🙂 Edited October 7, 2020 by Sweep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted October 7, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted October 7, 2020 The Whitty numbers were based on no action being taken weren’t they??? Action has been taken and the numbers aren’t all that far behind. Ipso facto, they weren’t exactly scaremongering. Just covering themselves. Ive no issue with it. That said, Covid accounts for 3% of all current hospitalisations, so we can afford to go at this rate for now and not start locking down any more than we have.

Rate here was going up before schools went back. I think if we look at the actual numbers of school kids that have had it, its not that high. Surprised me actually, I thought more cases would occur.

I wish they were. Yep. Even Andrew Neil, who I have a lot of respect for, has gone quiet on the matter. The government will act on the scientific advice. I can understand people having reservations about politicians. If we start to doubt the chief medical and scientific advisors, then we may as well just listen to Piers Morgan or any other celebrity chancer with a Twitter account.

Kids dont tend to show symptoms. Year 7/8/9 seem to be unscathed in most schools, 10 and 11 are the worst hit from that I can see. It's those pesky teachers catching it from asymptomatic kids thats the issue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but I think some of the schools are making a grand job of implementing strict controls. My brother is a site manager at one, and I've seen their stash of hand sanitiser. Enough to blow a small crater in the grass I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well pubs shut at 10 But now a percentage of folk queue en masse outside offies, and go home for house parties So nowts changed really The numbers have just slowed down, but the percentage doing the same thing means we'll get there in the end Other than a 10pm curfew what action has been taken?
