Ronaldo could flex the virus out by holding his celebration pose for an extra few seconds.
Essex Council have requested to be put into high risk despite having some of the lowest cases in the country. Insanity. It's like they don't want people to follow the rules.
143 deaths. This sounds serious.
I'm no electrical engineer (I'm Yevrah), but, unless the silly cunt wants to do one every couple of months, is the term 'circuit breaker' appropriate in this context?
The main problem I have with a 'circuit breaker' is that the cases/deaths would still be climbing come the end of it. 2 weeks is the incubation period and the deaths don't come until after 3 weeks. So the idea is to lockdown for 2 weeks, watch the numbers continue to rise, then end the lockdown whilst the cases are higher than when we started?
Uwotm8.
Yeah, so that the following weeks drop right off. It's not about it affecting the past
I've currently got a back injury stopping me from playing football for last month and it's turning dark before I've had my 5th wank of the day, I ain't in no mental space in which I can support it but the logic is clear.
PS. Back-injury aside, it's fairly clear to me the concerns we had about a winter lockdown are coming to fruition. Only thing keeping me from blowing up Giggles' neighbourhood is my daily cod liver oil tablets supplying me my Vitamin D for the day and that's one of the strongest minds of our society admitting that. No gyms for 6 months? Let me see this IG generation cope.
I fear your back is preventing you from understanding my point(s).
To simplify: leaving a lockdown before we know how much difference it's going to have made seems a bit silly.
I thought you were comparing the merits of it to not having one altogether as opposed to having a longer one. I mean if they know they're about to hit a wall, it probably won't harm to hit the brakes a little beforehand.
A circuit breaker is fucking pointless and stupid. What if cases continued to rise, as I'm pretty sure they did for the first 2 weeks of the original lockdown? Then it would just end up staying in place and fucking everyone three ways.
We should just hang in there and ride it out.
Agreed, I'd just have thought they'd want to see how quickly we're stopping before releasing the breaks again. But then again reducing cases by 20% and having them shoot straight back up 2 weeks later would sum this government up.
But then again:
Lol

Last time we locked down on 23 March and cases only peaked on 10 April, and as late as 7 May they were still what you would call 'high' looking back at the period. There is absolutely no way that a 'circuit breaker' would be relaxed/ended with cases rising or still higher than when it started. Absolutely no way. It would end up being another two-month affair at best.
In fact, the first time after Lockdown 1 that cases returned to the level they had been at the day before lockdown (testing notwithstanding) was... 24 June. Strap in, and, well, strap on.
Exactly that. Especially when we supposedly already have more people in hospital with it than we did back in March. It makes even less sense with the numbers added.
In Boris' land of the free drinking glorious pints and trolling my Facebook Scottish cunt friends with annoying pint stories.
A divorced dad at a pub on his own taking pictures of a glass of beer is such a depressing stereotype.
Proper Milhouses Dad behaviour.
Hang in there against something that was a bigger killer than cancer and heart disease is ... a grim thing to consider. There's no good option.
I'd like to believe we're at the epicentre of a meltdown but isn't most of the world doing the same?
450 people on average die of cancer every day. Covid daily deaths were in excess of that for weeks straight during the first peak.
That'a magnificent stats, there's a job waiting for you in SAGE.
France and Spain are the ones to keep an eye on as they had the second wave first and I don't think there's any wildly strict lockdowns there (except somewhat in Madrid now but still not akin to the first lockdown): the frogsters are probably still just about rising cases-wise and staying under 100 deaths most days, whereas our jamon-guzzling amigos have maybe slightly flattened out now, and their deaths slightly higher than France but nothing spectacular at all. The French track & trace has also just gone in the bin so we're not alone in that.
Ze Germans are also now starting to see an uptick so even the master race are going to need to track and trace at a faster pace.
As if the French were ever going to track and trace. They were probably less likely than us. Let the Germans have it.

The Government are listening lads.
It's all a load of shite though really. At this stage you'll find an "expert" to tell you whatever your preferred angle on this is correct.
But Dr Roland Salmon, former director of communicable diseases at Public Health Wales, said it will not suppress the virus.His view was echoed by Prof Dale Andrew Fisher, who specialises in infectious diseases at the National University Hospital, Singapore, and is part of the World Health Organisation's outbreak alert and response network.
Nicola Sturgeon hasn't locked down yet either. Has anyone asked Dr Simon Trout for his views on the matter?
Woke up with a headache, cough and slight temperature. Roughly 2 weeks after I had to take my daughter for a test as well. Test booked for 12. RSVP in Pisces.
4 week circuit break in Norniron. Atleast that makes a bit more sense than 2 weeks.

It's 4, no? And schools are only closing for 2.

Scousers took the lockdown news well last night then.
Schools aren't going to close again.
My son has been getting worse, and we took him to a GP on Monday at the advice of 111. They've said it's got all the signs of being COVID, and we all need to get re-tested and self isolate (again). We had our tests Monday evening, now just waiting for the results.
I'm not feeling too bad other than the occasional coughing fit. My son has a fever, terrible chest and is generally quite cranky. Hoping to get results today as I'm already fed up self-isolating. We've been doing it for 9 of the last 12 days. But a work colleague recently said it took 5 days to get their results back.
Ah, that's shit, SvN. Hopefully it isn't and he gets better soon.
What age is he now?
May well be so, but they're not going to, other than possibly an extra week at half term. If you start indefinitely shutting down children's education then the country is doomed. Schools will be the last thing to close and they'll sacrifice all manner of other things to keep them open if necessary.
This all does make you wonder what would happen if something really deadly started going around.
They've got futures in Cyber to look forward to, them dreams ain't gonna crush themselves if schools keep getting shut.

The test is only 70% accurate.
