Do we have an admittance from you yet @JakeyBoy that the virus is nowhere near as bad as first feared ?
Or you still going to wait another few months for that ? 
I wonder if youâd be saying the same thing if you knew the flu season of 17/18 killed over 1.5mil people. Do you think things would go back to normal, my bad nobody was mentioning how people were dying daily nor people catching the flu.
This isnât a flu
@JakeyBoy is suffering for the greater good, he is very virtuous donât you know.

I think governments would try and adopt a different method against the virus.
Unless of course itâs not just incompetence and more about control and or corruption, then of course nothing would change.
Baaa

Still less people have died. Ok how about tb killed millions last year should hear daily how died from it?
Or how about people who have died from cancer? I heard itâs project to be 20-30k because of the delay in treatment because of covid.

The History lessons on this subject are going to be amazing.
People at the height of the pandemic protesting in their thousands with flimsy cloth masks and no distancing.
You can go to the pub and restaurants but not see loved ones dying or funerals or operations.
Only see 6 people when there sre like 5 deaths a day and people can go to pubs and schools.
I might go back to school st this point
The WHO not recommending masks but then recommending them.
China buying the worldâs supply of masks before outing the virus in Wuhan. Then selling them for loads to countries that need then back.
China hiding the virus and getting about 4 recorded deaths
China hiring a corona virus expert who deals with the bats in the South of China to work in Wuhan then they dissapear
Everyone still pandering to China
Boris is a cunt
Matt Hancock is a cunt

Have a look at excess death numbers around the world in 2020, absolutely minimal, common sense would suggest that Covid-19 has just killed off a lot of people that would have sadly died of other causes in 2020 anyways.

People harp on about the recovery rate despite not having any information about the long term effect of contracting the disease.
Coronavirus is wiping out 1m humans in space of 6-7 months despite worldwide lockdown and hygiene measures. Show me a more deadly disease in terms of numbers in last 30-40 years, If you can.

By the way the death total has not reached a million yet world wide 
not far off 920k+ as if the 12/09/20
@Aussiegooner @mhappy whatâs your reasoning why virtually the whole world keep going with prevention
Measures then. Genuinely interested because as we know government are by nature money driven.
Stage is yours lads.
That would be correct if it was some final destination shit where same people died who would have been dead in first place.
Itâs a tricky one tbh. Itâs clear the virus is pretty much harmless to most aged 60 and healthy, yet itâs clearly very serious to the elderly and those with weaker immune systems. The shortcut out of this is a vaccine, but for the time being simple distancing rules and hygiene seem to make sense. Admittedly I think the current rules of 6+ people is stupid and having hand sanitiser upon entry into shops seems sufficient enough as this is largely spread like other colds/flus.
Central London is a ghost town and that really cannot continue for long, especially given the low mortality.
I actually think the 6 people thing is the least course of this.
Quite simply more opening up is the issue. That needed to happen and more things should. We just need a bit more common sense by individuals and a bit of enforcing of the rules. We are no longer in lockdown. A semblance of near normality is available out there. A few naysayers and a couple of idiots just need too be getting on board.
You can go the pub, cinema, restaurant, bowling alley, swimming baths,gym and kids have soft play areas.Its not that bad for most people.

The problem is that there are still too many people not taking precautions. And whilst the recovery rate is high for those under 60, you canât deny that there is a significant number of people suffering from long-term covid, and these people are relativiely young.
I think lockdown and things shouldâve happened sooner. It shouldâve been swift. Then you can look to reopen. Too many of the public have a complete disregard for the virus and thatâs a mix of culture and government. If the government had taken it seriously immediately and acted swiftly, maybe the public wouldâve been more careful and things wouldâve been open sooner and things wouldâve been closer to normal.
The fact that I still see people spitting on public transport, not washing their hands after using the toilet and arenât covering their mouths when coughing speaks loudly. If people would just be fucking curtious and have good hygeine habits, then maybe taking extreme measures wouldnât be needed.
Bottomline, Iâm not running a country and Iâm not a doctor or scientist, so Iâm relying on what I read. I read peer reviewed articles when possible and always check the main source a news article refers to. I donât know the best way to handle it all. Iâm sad that we are still so far from pre-covid normal. But Iâm also cautious and keep good hygeine. Iâm curtious in wearing a mask - I get allergies and cough with a dry tickly throar from it, so a mask is good for that to be cautious.
These are hard times. Many governments acted clueless and too slow. Many people donât have trust in their government, and I do think the numbers were worse in those countries.

My hairs are going grey trying to work it out mate, theyâve genuinely fucked up.
Mitigating risk and putting preventions to try and protect the vulnerable as best you can without destroying jobs, livelihoods, small business and mental health is clearly the way to go if youâre looking at in rationally.
Iâm at a loss to how so many countries are trying to handle it though. Iâm totally baffled as to why I canât only leave my house once a day for one hour when we only have 12 people in ICU in the country in Australia, when itâs clear as day eradication is a non starter ( New Zealand ) & a vaccination isnât coming imminently.
