CFR= Case Fatality Rate

A unique situation has arisen for quite an accurate estimate of the CFR of COVID-19. Among individuals onboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship, data on the denominator are fairly robust. The outbreak of COVID-19 led passengers to be quarantined between Jan 20, and Feb 29, 2020. This scenario provided a population living in a defined territory without most other confounders, such as imported cases, defaulters of screening, or lack of testing capability. 3711 passengers and crew were onboard, of whom 705 became sick and tested positive for COVID-19 and seven died, giving a CFR of 0·99%. If the passengers onboard were generally of an older age, the CFR in a healthy, younger population could be lower.

Yep, I've seen people dying in the streets all around me, it's horrific.

Whatever you do, don't go outside, you are risking your life. Unless of course you are going to Aldi or Asda or Tesco etc. the virus seems to be impotent on certain commercial territory....

Regardless, be afraid...

I could be wrong but i'm guessing you have not had a relative test positive?

or friends fighting for their lives after contracting the virus?

Just saying....

You could indeed be wrong.

My younger sister, a healthy-living 20 something had the best part of two weeks battling the virus, and was quite unwell at one point, but fortunately she overcame it.

My initial point, albeit a slightly sarcastic one, was an attempt to try and put some emphasis on context.

I do not agree with the global lockdown response. In my honest opinion it is overkill, and is likely, in the long term to be more damaging than the virus. I may well be proved wrong, but that is what I currently believe.

I'm not in any way trying to encourage anyone to go breaching the guidelines, but you have to admit, there are so many things about them that really do not make sense...

As was posted earlier on here, 'It's targeting the wrong people'!  Take a drive along Duke Street / Mulgrave Road...and see the druggies / alco's that are there EVERY night, wandering along, out of their heads on whatever.  Are they immune to this virus?  If so, is it due to alcohol intake / drug use?  Is there some immunity to be gained by consuming alcohol and cocaine / heroin?  Who knows?  There again...WHO probably doesn't know...or care!  In all seriousness, and contradicting myself from previous posts, I feel very sad for one particular addict, a woman of approx 30, I reckon.  Well over a year ago or more, I noticed, in my everyday travels, that, although you 'knew' that she was, she seemed to have (possibly) 'kicked' the habit (not that I even know her) and I could see that she didn't look like an 'everyday' junkie...but someone who had it under control.  Sorry, that sounds cruel...but I'm sure you know what I mean. Anyway, seeing her over the past few weeks, on my travels, she looks to be at rock bottom again, walking (if you can call it that) along with a few other women who are obviously in the same situation.  The saddest thing, if I'm correct, is that I believe, from what I've observed over a few years, she has a young daughter.  It breaks my heart to think of the disruption and confusion to this child's life.

......you have to admit, there are so many things about them that really do not make sense...

Agreed

.....but probably because this is so new to everyone and the government will get ripped apart eventually no matter what the do.....erring on the side of caution is the right approach I still believe.

The morons will ignore any advice given if it does not suit them and hopefully natural selection will kick in...

I keep reading on various sites" now the lockdown is lifted"
no, it isn't there's just a few little perks thrown into early IMHO
the idiots are still on the streets
social distancing LOL 

You are referring to the thickets. The dumb backbone of the country who have no trouble interpreting anything to suit their own stunted world view. They'll even justify it, because they're so desperate to get back what passes for 'normal' in their eternally mundane world. When they can go out for a drink and a meal, shopping trips, holidays, socialising etc, etc, they'll be contented little bunnies....so they 'll keep pushing the boundaries.

the majority of Britons (53%) think the Government should prioritise peoples' health, with more restrictions on public events, workplaces and travel, compared to just 11% who think it should prioritise economic health by having less restrictions.  Whilst three in ten say it should be both equally.

And some prominent politicians want to legalise drugs......

To be fair, there's a pretty strong argument for doing so.

Just look at the Portugal model...

[Inspector Knacker]

I'd rather not. But why would anyone advocate the legalisation of something that is basically mind altering?
Once legalised, the feeble minded will try it because it's Legal, so it's OK...?
Fags and drink, if invented today, would not be allowed to be sold. Why add to the mess?
Once a new expanded 'legal' customer base is opened up,  the the price will be undercut massively by the old illegal dealers and anyone naive enough to believe they won't is taking something themselves.

What's the problem with people wanting to alter their state of mind? It's no different from having a beer or ten, which is my personal preference.

The emphasis should be on making it safe, and reducing the criminal impact, which is basically what the Portuguese have done.

Tend to agree - if government is happy to cream off profits from Booze and Fags why not legalise all substances = dealers out of business, another source of revenue for HMRC, police only have to show an interest when the pis*ed up/drugged up take to the roads and the Covidiots might spend all day off their heads staring at the wall rather than running around infecting people who actually have a brain.

Only thing they would need to do is give a mandatory 5 year prison sentence to anyone climbing behind the wheel of a vehicle whilst under influence.....oddly "Shame" aka the new leader ( as a convicted drunk driver) would probably disagree.

To quote George Orwell... 'petty quarrels with neighbours, films, football, beer and above all gambling filled up the horizons of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.....,' and you want to add drugs to it? If you are happy to have a future  where life is 'pain free' but utterly meaning less, crack on.
