New cases nearing a thousand, that’s creeping up consistently 

Any idea of the latest survival rate to put it into perspective ? 💣

BDs article was reasonable in fairness; a bit like the Don- we're testing more so will find more. The percentage of tests that are positive remaining roughly steady is hopefully something to hold onto.

At the same time though, we're still in restricted territory so can see why there is still plenty of concern.

was in the TWA Dogs, but frequented a few in Keswick, the majority are Jennings, oddfellows, Dog & Gun, George Hotel.

I was unfortunately in Bowness for 90 mins today. Was rammed but not as busy as normal.

Been past Tonge Moor Rd Co-op, not a single mask in sight, zero fucks given!

[Good Knee]

Shopped in Ramsbottom on Saturday was in the aldi and spotted a scruffy twat an aisle or so away with no mask, decided if we got near him I was going to ask him why he wasn't wearing one but lost sight of him,as I'm pushing the trolley away from check out he jogs past us and just outside the door he's reversing his car out of the nearest disabled bay .Talk about piss boil.

There was a family proudly not wearing masks in the co-op near me last night. 

It got pretty tense as everybody near them tutted and shook their heads.

I'm going chubsters

With asthma and diabetes no doubt.

They’d have been shot in the States!

Deaths for England and Wales have now been below the 5 year average for the 6th consecutive week.

Because nobody is doing anything and all the old people are dead.

All of them! 

Kinell, missed that.

 

Any road, not a single example of non compliance I've witnessed yet up here. I spoke to a local yesterday, who was clearly naffed off with it all, but still complied. Attitudes are chalk and cheese.

Some clear differences with regards to public information on the TV, but the level of respect for the rules and each other is so different.

There’s a reasonable chance!

No, better things to do, nice to say hello!

We are finding out more and more about the virus everyday. There's going to be conclusions drawn by various experts and some of them are going to be wrong, that's the nature of science. At the moment, almost unanimously, the advisors to the governments of the world do not think that this is over. There is no evidence to show that if we went back to normal life, a % of the old and vulnerable who haven't caught the disease yet, would somehow survive it, or not get seriously ill. For anyone who says we just need to protect the old and let everyone else go about their business, it's not that easy, the old live with , work with , or are cared for by other people, we can't just move them all to Anglesey for a year.

What are the deaths YTD compared to the 5 year average?

 

Let's be honest, we'll get all sorts of these stats rolled out, all depending what point people want to make. Let's be honest, no matter what metric you use, we've still had more deaths than we would have had if this virus didn't exist

I guess we also don't know the long term effect it'll have on people who recover. I'm still fucked 3 months later, it's got worse the last couple of weeks for some reason, and I'm really fatigued all the time. I hope I manage to sort myself out before winter comes, as I have a feeling I might be a bit grim if I caught the flu (which by the way, I've never yet had)

I've had flu twice I think. Once when I was early 20s, in bed for 3 days, 1 day was bad, with mild hallucinations and slept for about 20 hrs but was fine a few days after. Other time was last year, nowhere near as severe, but took me months to recover fitness, was still blowing out my arse after a bit of light exercise months after.

You still giving plasma?

Maybe ask for some back.

No, I've given 6 pints so far, and they've taken me off the register for the time being, apparently to do with it being quite a large needle, and they don't want to fuck my veins up (especially as they collapsed in my last two visits)  -  I'm on "standby" now apparently, although I'm not entirely sure what that means

Right answer

It's a made up affliction like hay fever and asthma
