Most people don't want to compound the Coronavirus tragedy with another tragedy when people's lives are destroyed socially and economically, which will result in even more deaths.

I feel many posters will dig out that recording if next week or the week after the death rate is higher than reported. Stats can prove anything you want them to prove.

"That could be just a delay in the notification of those deaths. We have to wait to understand this. There is always a time lag between incident numbers, admission to hospitals and then mortality."
Ace2007 wrote: » How is it nitpicking? A moderate tells a poster to look up information before posting again in the thread, that to me seems way out of line. I reported the post in any event now so if it's ok then nothing more will come of it - i just don't think if i said that to you you would take any notice of me.

Pubs are designed for people to be in close contact and chatting to each other. That is where the infections will occur, not from sweaty gym equipment.

alwald wrote: » Good new indeed but we can't start drawing conclusions from it as it's too early, BTW this is the interpretation of the experts too. We all want to hear good news about quick testing, fall in deaths, fall in ICU...but we also want a gradual and calculated lifting of the measures to not erase any progress made so far.

The idea that we can indefinitely fund a health service, pay doctors and nurses, pay for PPE, pay for additional ICU beds, pay for any future covid treatment, purchase any future covid vaccine and pay the 350 covid dole while also funding all the other essential government departments with a half-dead economy is fantasy stuff. There is a cost to lockdown, an enormous one.
