Socials

I am not going to make it easy for the virus to get me. And I am certainly not going to risk anything until a vaccine is developed, tested and is in common use.

And reliable data on possible side effects. If you think (like me) that we are not being told the truth now how bad will it be when/if a virus is developed?

It’s not the ‘socials‘ we are talking about really is it?!! The rule of 6 means three couples or a combination of bods ‘could’ meet for a bev or nibbles .... socially distanced ... but frankly the 2m rule scuppers part 2 of a social ... unless of course anyone’s got one that’s in the Guinness Book of Records. ? ?

where a mask lol

Mother Nature gives us humans a pandemic every hundred years or so to balance the population. So the Spanish flu killed about a third of the world’s population.
So in the last hundred years we now think of flu as nothing but around 23,000 people die from this in the U.K. every year. A vaccine for flu is normally a strain that was in the Southern Hemisphere for the last winter so our summer and then this vaccine is given to the elderly and most vulnerable people although some years there have been over 48,000 deaths when the flu is a different strain or a more severe strain. So they don’t always get it right.
So in six months the excess deaths for the U.K. is over 60,000 most of these will be down to Covid-19 and this over spring and summer period. The person may not have it had it, but may not have been able to get to hospital for other treatments. Also as we have not been travelling as much or out and about, Road traffic collisions and accidental deaths should be lower this year.
It’s not the case of thinking that this virus is a hoax, scamdemic or media sensation it’s about protecting your life and the lives of others. Rant over

Yes, the sp

That is right, the spanish flu was a real pandemic, covid is not that at all, far from it, the numbers are so low it doesnt even register, in my opinion this is not a pandemic, when they say someone is positive it usually means a mild flu like symptom, the media is hyping it up as well.
