They're not idiots. They are people wanting to get on with some sort of worthwhile life.

I'd just done a quick search without any clear results. The end of May seemed to be a possible date for its implementation. Give the guy a break, he's only had two months to come up with this idea. /s

Very good That seems to sum it all up nicely. "We are only testing those who are almost dead to determine if that's what they will die of"

The proposed quarantine will only apply to arrivals by air. They are only proposals at the moment and only three months late.

Is there a significant difference between the red zone and the green?

You’d have to run it as a double season, much like they used to do in Scotland.

Anywhere where people shout a lot and spray their spittle over others is a dangerous place. Obviously this rules out St. Mary!’s Restaurants aren’t good. Parks, shopping centres, garden centres, recycling centres are hardly more dangerous than usual.

That Chinese link (I think it was this one) found only one case of transmission outdoors between two neighbours who stopped for a chat. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.04.20053058v1.full.pdf https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.04.20053058v1.full.pdf

No I’m not. I’m stuck here at home like everybody else

Officially it’s called COVID-19 https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/technical-guidance/naming-the-coronavirus-disease-(covid-2019)-and-the-virus-that-causes-it#:~:text=ICTV%20announced%20“severe%20acute,on%2011%20February%202020.

It’s not ‘highly infectious’ else everybody would have caught it by now. Infection depends upon prolonged exposure. Fleeting contact and small dosage is not sufficient.

The point is that home is not the safest place. Obviously individual circumstances vary but if there are several of you living there and somebody, maybe a key worker, brings the virus into the household then the close proximity and prolonged exposure will encourage its spread. Merely ‘staying at home’ is not the best approach.

The UK government won’t use private labs.

I’m with you all the way, Ducky.

It would not have add a lot of difference, not whilst we were concentrating infectees in hospitals and then releasing them early into care homes. Plus letting over 10 million enter the country from abroad without restrictions.

I never said it was a proof. But if one person goes out and touches a door handle and catches it that would be very unfortunate. But two thirds of those hospitalised? There’s something going on here that’s worthy of further investigation.

??? Well here’s a thing. In New York two thirds of new hospitalisations are of people who stayed at home. (From about 1:00 in) https://video.foxnews.com/v/6154826983001#sp=show-clips

Yes, there are some small groups but it’s a common trick to use a telephoto lens and show a foreshortened image, one of the things that really annoys me.the photo you show is similar. There is actually a wide spacing between the subjects. Whatever, these places and situations are not where the virus is being spread. That honour belongs to hospitals and care homes and indoor places with poor ventilation where people spend long times together.

They are widely spaced in the open air. Probably the safest place in the country.

If you tell people that in a couple of days time there will be a lockdown they’re going to make the most of their last couple of days of freedom. Some will go to a pub where they might not otherwise have bothered.

This article is easy to read and seems plausible. It concerns the mechanisms by which you catch the disease. https://erinbromage.wixsite.com/covid19/post/the-risks-know-them-avoid-them?fbclid=IwAR3Z_mKJoV9JxQK4SzUWNTB-IIEvtxu9bcOmmsm4g0ClaBEOFw92yGGCej4

If you use that argument then you’d wrap yourself in cotton wool and never do anything.
