Run to the hills.
For the Covid nerds - lots of data

Unfortunately a null hypothesis can't be proven so running for the hills is our only hope.

I’m stuffed - no hills in soon to be tier 4 Lincoln

There bloody is, The cathedral is sat on one
There's the area of the bars too at the top (Bailgate/ High Street), which I used to fall down pi$$sed, or get knackered walking up home.

Thought there was one hill? Could be difficult to social distance at the top though

If there was no herd immunity people would be re catching CV19 by now.
If we said 8 million people in the UK (12%) have had CV19 - how many of those 8 million have had it twice or even three times?
Personally I haven't seen any stories about people in the UK testing postive twice say with a 2 week gap in between.

The NERVTAG summary looking at the new strain of the virus looked at 914 positive cases. They concluded that 5 of those were probable reinfections. I was surprised the figure was so high.
There's immunity, no doubt about that, but not herd immunity, they're very different.
Only about 10% have had it when I last looked (but 12% now sounds reasonable), that's not enough to effect the stats and prevent second waves, as proven by the UK, Sweden, Belgium etc. Think we need about 75% for herd immunity.
Don't get me wrong, the 12% will "stop" some infections in their tracks, but it's not going to have a massive difference on the R number.

I'm already at the top of that. Very contentious for an outsider - 'ooooh you live 'uphill''Steep hill, up to the Cathedral
The Cathedral looks bloomin gorgeous at the moment and, because of less people, really atmospheric

Just running with the absurdity of that chart for a moment, it's yet another indication of how badly Sweden has mishandled the virus, given their high proliferation of metal bands.

You can prove/disprove a nill hypothesis though. One for the true nerds there.

You are right and have helped unearth the Covid rationale - I had no idea they had so many
Just googled and there is a site which lists the top 15 Swedish Metal Bands
'Opeth' being the best of all time

I lived there about 2 years before I saw it up close, then I was blown away, it looks class when it's lit up.
You didn't answer that question at all.
You made a generalization of the far east wearing masks, (which is largely down to pollution levels rather than viruses) you didn't answer why the numbers in China are so spuriously low based on high population density and relativly low case prevalence
You haven't addressed why other 'compliant' nations have done less well
So dont dismiss this as "I've answered that question already". No wonder you voted for Tory/Johnson

Same personal vendetta. You must hold your tongue for a few days before the pointless attacks flaire up again. You just can’t help it
Maybe I just dont spend my entire life on here, so yes, a few days go by. Inevitably you spout rubbish again though and I comment. Your arrogance and missguided self-importance knows no bounds
Anyway, let's get back to the thread. Engaging with you is futile. Merry Christmas
