There are a couple of local council areas that are saying to keep kids off if they have any sign of any illness... so a little sniffle or feeling a bit tired, and they'll send them home. Really a pointless exercise going into winter - half of the school would be off.

That's what I'm worried about. My son gets a cold every September....it lasts for months, he's never ill with it but is sniffly and coughy....he'll be mortified if they send him home.

No it doesn’t it killed the vulnerable in the same flue has been doing for hundreds of years if not thousands it’s a new disease that has caught the health care out because there was no vaccine.

We will have vaccine and the death rate will come down.

This is not the end of the world disease and more people will have died has a result of the restrictions that Covid brought rather actualy dying of Covid.

If Covid killed everyone that caught it then it would be a super disease but it’s not.

this coming winter is going to be surreal in so many ways. They will be rushing out a vaccine and encouraging people to have it ... but to me thats a whole new level of risk

And?

Cancer kills around 165 thousand every year around 450 a day every day.

Death is inevitable, Covid is just another risk and like the experts are saying you are more likely to get hit and killed by a bus than dying of Covid.

Do you know what I've noticed? It's the gammons who are anti mask.. There's a whole swathe of them at work who don't even think covid is real!

They also happen yo be your average farage loving brexiteer... coincidence?

Thats not a nice way to talk about co-workers and if they read this they would be upset?

:shrug:

They are not my coworkers just your average joe the driver from across the UK.

Well that's just statistically wildly false, even right now with low deaths. There are only 5 road traffic deaths per day in the UK and that's all causes - getting hit by a bus would be much rarer than that. So when we were at a few hundred deaths per day you were at least 100x more likely to die of Covid than being hit by a bus.

Just for you ts.

Was just driving and saw lots of police and ambulances, a bus has left the road on a roundabout and smashed into a wooded area with just the back of the bus showing.
