There are many secrets the government doesn't want you to know.

For instance, you are immune to the virus if you breathe backwards.

I heard that anyone who has died from Covid had a pre-existing condition called lungs. Open your eyes sheeple.

Easy. Take a deep breath and let it out. Well it's just like that but in reverse.

Seriously, people need to watch that film called "Contagion".

Theres a character played by Jude law that is a social media personality, and he's a charlatan spreading disinformation and doubt in order to become wealthy, making things much worse for everyone else in the process.

It's actually quite bizarre seeing fiction come to life.

beneath the tweet there's an icon that looks like an arrow pointing out of a box. click that and then "Copy link to tweet". Then just paste.

It's fairly accurate for a good reason, the cast and crew met with disease experts for consultation here in Europe.

Cases now headed to a very bad place in the UK. Going to be a very bleak few months there as things fall apart. I think we are roughly 15-20 days behind them in Dublin with the rest of the country another 10 days back. We still have a window to act but it is closing, fast.

Can someone tell me what number of cases per 100,00 population does it take for a county to go into Level 3 or down to Level 1?

It's based on more factors than a simple case count per 100k

It's something I'm actually getting a bit concerned about. I'm making an absolute bollox of minor calculations and really simple errors way too frequently.
I couldn't remember my phone number yesterday at all.

You have a lovely way of building the tension, I hope you are a novelist or similar for a living.

Can you provide the modelling for your conclusions?

It's such a complex algorithm they couldn't possibly divulge!

Oh **** me, its like the 2 weeks behind Italy stuff from February. Have you anything remotely positive to say.

They’re factoring in the R0 number, which gives you a sense of how fast it’s likely to spread, things like ICU capacity, hospital capacity etc etc etc

There isn’t a simple calculation. It’s more of a risk assessment.

He's right about the window of opportunity.

If this thing is still on rinse/repeat with lockdowns come January, I think it's fair to say public confidence in guidelines will be severely eroded.

Then you will have no path to victory, as now, AND an uncooperative population.

Level 1 is incredibly unlikely before winter is over. Most optimistic bet would be that if a vaccine starts being rolled out and is seen as being effective that they'd move us to level 1 then and then after some time passes give the all clear and be done with levels altogether.

There won't be a lockdown, UK just announced a lockdown, the pubs have to close at 10 pm, there may be measures, shut the pubs, as for worrying about the people becoming uncooperative, that ship has sailed.

Fairly serious in the UK with the penalties and restrictions there and them being told it’ll likely last 6 months. Hopefully our 3 week one will sort it out. Also interesting to see him say that cocooning is a load of crap as it’ll get to old people anyway and overrun the system of measures not in place.

As much domestic politics as anything else....

I watched it earlier in the year as well, while a lot of stuff had a lot of similarities. The main big difference was that the fatality rate of the disease in that film was something like 30% and not 0.05% or what ever the true rate is now.

ACitizenErased · 22-09-2020 08:31PM

Very interesting thread. Some believe that since June, our testing methods have changed, and a higher amount of false positive tests are being returned.

Looks like it's back in the nursing homes. Issue this time is staff moving between facilities. No doubt they'll blame the people in Oliver Bond and call for a lockdown.

But that's literally how it gets into nursing homes.

When we get nearing that stage I reckon there will be some political "fun" going on. When a critical number (practically all vulnerable vaccinated and remainder vaccine program just commenced) we will be at that level, and then there'll be some hiccup or blunder about availability of further vaccines, with what would then be seen as an unnecessary continuation with any restrictions.
