If it’s eradicated and suddenly we have more deaths it’s a new strain Shirley?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the curve hasn't been flattened in that we haven't got below 100 yet I know it's a learning curve but no one else has started easing lockdown restrictions for the public till below 100 so far as i know Looking at last week's numbers it looks to me like we haven't got into a position where we can confidently saw the first wave is over But i know better than to debate with you what our perceptions of the words spike, waves and curves mean In any case we're opening up and inviting a load of new cases and deaths on our current path, imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my point though, we're nowhere near to being able to say it's been eradicated or dealt with satisfactorily to date when we're still getting daily death tolls that are higher than similar countries were at their peak Instead of spike, let's say wave I dont think we're through the first wave yet so any increase now and it's still part of the first wave, not a second wave We simply haven't got on top of it yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just evidently have a view that the meaning of a spike is different than you and I was simply putting my view across I agree on your comment that we haven’t left the first wave it is a continuation.

royal white Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I’ve Done all the isolating and social distancing, I’ve had a new born during all this shite and was only able to see him for half an hour before he was allowed home 4 days later, I’m now beginning to think it’s a big fucking con. If this CV-19 was as dangerous as what’s been made out by “experts” and the goverment then the army would have been deployed yesterday and today to stop All of these pointless demos.

We’ve been had Should perhaps have been out much earlier. Scummy cunts spitting in the face of railway workers might think twice if a couple of big fuckers with steely eyes arrive and shove a rifle in their faces. Could have kettled those cunts in London yesterday with a few tanks whilst each and every one was fined before being allowed on their way.

Extinction Rebellion- the courts found against them and allowed them to continue. Not sure it's that easy just to ban them, and certainly not that quick. Perhaps they should look at doing so now, but that would probably be counterproductive and would get more out claiming rights and freedoms etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly But; there comes a time to act. I would hope that there is a plan which is ready to stop this, presumably before they start again (next weekend?)
