I can't afford a property but I would agree on the research bit. Its not about buying the cheapest place per se. It's about finding out where has a good return on investment. I.e. some areas have low house prices and high rental charges. Find out which ones. Also second the fact it won't always...

I'm not trying to minimise anything

I should add i am happy we keep certain restrictions such as social distancing/limits of people indoors and mask wearing just to at least try and stem the rise. I'm afraid we are stuck with the disease though.

Its not a financial thing strangely. More the slow reaction of the government. When sage announced there should be a fire breaker 2 week lockdown it made sense. Cases were low back then and we could have got them down to a really manageable amount. The cases have been rising massively since...

No for me. I think the genie is well and truly out of the bottle now. A lockdown would either be too short and then it'd flare up again or too long and further ruin the economy

Wrong.

It'll go down to popularity rather than achievements as always. Thats why Rea won't get it and Hamilton will struggle against a footballer. Remember the year Jenson Button had to take a huge paycut? Racing for a brand new team, that was decimated compared to the team it was based on, with a car...

I was going on the 7 day average for daily new cases. Seems to be at the top of a peak, at least not rising quickly

And thats on a Wednesday too, which seems to always be a high day for cases

I'm not so sure about this. Cases seem to be levelling off. Hopefully we are at the top of the curve. Deaths, sadly, will continue to increase alarmingly for the next few weeks as we have had a lot of cases at the moment. If the cases start dropping, any talk of a lockdown is too late, as those...

Ten years is stretching it but I gave seen a clinical trial that lasted 14 so its not unthinkable. Remember this is an entirely new virus too so we don't have much of an understanding of how it works.

I'm not saying that. Its just he seems to be arguing against things but not providing a counterpoint. Apart from unverified and biased website data. Im just wondering what his aim is if not to just argue

Does anyone else think @Alvez_48 is arguing just for arguments sake? He seems to want to shoot down every statistic, every reasoned thought, every theory without being able to provide anything of himself? I honestly have no idea what he thinks on the subject as when I asked him directly he...

Actually thinking about this. Randy I think you need to think about being less black and white about things. You can discuss restrictions without thinking your only options are total and complete lockdwon or absolute freedom. I think that's the issue you are having if you look at your use of the...

Thats a wonderful non sequitur Randy.
