Sadly I would say close the pubs and restaurants - based on no scientific evidence whatsoever but based on my own observations I truly think it is indoor congregating that is the issue. With the thousands upon thousands attending the BAME rallies shoulder to shoulder and Beachgate I was expecting a huge spike in cases but it never materialsised.
However as the pubs,restaurants and shopping has returned we now see the cases back on the way up.
Go into lockdown and get tougher with enforcement, if we don’t this will just drag on and on.
Another lockdown would put the final nail in an already crippled economy. Sweden have almost eradicated Covid without lockdown and a death toll of 6,000 from a population of 8 million. The deaths in the pipeline from undetected and untreated cancers due to the first lockdown will be worse than Covid itself . The effect on families and mental health from job losses and bankruptcy could be felt for a generation. The stats clearly show that this disease kills the old and the ill. Isolate them not everyone.Yeah maybe. Certainly lots of outdoors congregating has gone on without seemingly triggering a spike. You had all the VE Day celebration stuff too.
Be interesting to see where these cases are originating from if possible (appreciate it might not be and that's part of the problem no doubt).
I was on several trains at the weekend and huge groups of men and women going to Leeds or York, p****d on the train and none wearing masks. The trains were totally packed out and zero social distancing. I had to use the train for medical appointments otherwise I 100 percent wouldn't be on them... It was a disgrace
Sweden have, yes. We have not. Given our track and trace system is innefective I ask again, other than a lockdown, what else can we do?
There probably does have to be a bit of a trade off between the economy...and jobs, and livelihoods, and the risks of an increased death rate.
Respond to the data, why do we need to lockdown if people are getting the disease but don’t end up in hospital because they aren’t getting that Ill from itSweden have, yes. We have not. Given our track and trace system is innefective I ask again, other than a lockdown, what else can we do?
Just like masks on public transport. No one polices it and big ***ed groups think they are alright Jack not to bother. My family has been severely effect by it, so I just want others to actually give a ****..I thought that it was a mandatory requirement, as part of the guidelines for reopening??
by arresting people that won't wear a mask?With cases rising and now over a thousand a day. Clearly the current measures aren't controlling the virus, the spread is getting worse. How do we slow it down?
