yes all that is unnecessary ok partially agree with you there, but really no one deserves to be insulted like that either, not even groups of people you dislike

An okay job. They’re doing their best but it’s an impossible task. There will be many casualties regardless and people seem to forget that and act as if it’s simple. It’s unknown territory and every action people will criticise.

Yes, because that's exactly what i said.

I've pointed out the problems with the governments strategy (or lack thereof) from the start. Our carers still don't have the right equipment, we're not tracing and isolating nearly enough, despite claims that we have "the capacity" to test 100k per day.

The way we've handled this has been pretty appalling. Stick to reading the sun.

Two problems with this are that a) the 45000 is not yet a definite, its an extrapolation and b) it doesn't take into account that if you performed the same extrapolation for all other countries then it would also increase their death tolls drastically

The figures are from the ONS, but I accept the b part of the post.

Your sources are always nobody's with huge hard left axes to grind

It's worth noting

Where is 45k coming from, and how on earth do you use an unofficial/assumptive inflated figure (even if it's accurate) to make a percentage comparison to a global figure that's based on official reported figures. Just really dumb stuff, sorry.

No need to apologise to me, I find a lot of the stuff you've posted on the subject has been really dumb stuff too, going back to your pro herd immunity stance at the start to the whining about even having a thread for it. It's all good, soldier.

No need to be petty, but for the sake of accuracy, I was never "Pro" herd immunity as a strategy I just think it's ultimately an inevitability after careful management of the initial surge. I think people's total reliance on waiting for an effective vaccine or treatment that may never materialise is a bit naive. I still think that but we'll see I guess? The only dumb part of the conversation I remember is when you claimed that herd immunity without vaccination "doesn't exist" .

I also didn't whine about there being a thread for it, I whined about 2S's relentless swamping of the thread with posts every 10 minutes and called it unhealthy (he later ended up leaving, stating that he wasn't coping. Shocker.) and I whined about Arista's daily death league table which is still as morbid and functionally useless as it ever was. In fact, far from moaning about there being a thread, I believe I asked for those league table posts to be split off into a separate thread so that this one would actually be useful.

Feel free to take your fear and frustration out on me though Slim, I can take it for a while. Stoic champ.

Also to note The UK is highly populated for the size of the country so it's easier for the virus to run through it compared to other countries

That’s always been one of my concerns given we’re a tiny little isolated island absolutely crammed to the hilt with gawd knows how many people .. ( it’s far , far more than the official figures that’s for sure )

Correct..


I have a very important couple of stats that prove that.

Ive said it ages ago when the numbers were in the 20s..they are in the 250 region now.


So I luve in thurrock a very densely populated area of 170 thousand where towns just flow into the next one.....I come from the Scottish Borders, farming country..so the towns are spaced out and it only has a population of 120 thousand...



Thurrock has less covid 19 patients than the borders.only by about ten...but it's always been behind them.


Both are doing well I would say though.


Just to add...Thurrock is 30 miles from london at most...and I would say the borders is the same from Edinburgh. ..separated by hills though
...unlike the a13 down here

You are forgetting we are a little island with very little land space with over 60m people all inhabited a virus will spread through this country quicker then it has Germany be they had the space to have the facilities and sanctions we didnt

Care to offer some comparable countries ??

France, Spain and Italy look to be considerably larger than the uk yet we have the largest population by some distance I’d say .

No... I was commenting on the suggestion the UK is highly populated only, it isn't.
