Gosh even my positivity over wdw opening is waning a little. In my local area we have had a spike from 16 cases in a week to 30 - with our population this is like Miami getting 120 cases in a week. Our local authority is about to put out a warning that figures need to improve over the next...

As an aside - the UK all of a sudden took off 30,000 positive test results from the total a couple of weeks ago suggesting that there is a significant problem of double counting going on - still think its happening tbh and therefore we will have adjustments down in the future - and we actually...

To be fair for one example such as Israel you have plenty in Europe where schools have opened with no issues at all - you will always have cases it’s how it is dealt with is the important issue

The argument about schools is raging over here in the uk as well - the govt have mandated schools to go full time in September yet many schools are going their own way in the advice of the unions with many starting terms later and only bringing back students in a staggered fashion - also the...

I would suggest that this has as much to do with stopping mass gatherings in a political sense as stopping an outbreak, I would even suggest that a small outbreak may be ‘good’ for Carrie lam to exert some control over things.. Hong Kong is not a good test case for whether things would be closed...

Do you have realtime triage data over in the US - we have NHS pathways which shows us whether individuals have accessed the online assessment tool (111) or rang 111 (no emergency phone line for advice) or 999 (emergency) specifically for Covid - now of course its flawed as you dont know whether...

I’m sort of reluctant to jump in here as a European. In my opinion flattening then curve means just that - you don’t reduce the amount of cases and deaths amongst the general population (and by this i don’t mean the most vulnerable elderly and sick) you just spread them so healthcare can cope -...

In England today we reported two deaths from the end of March and the beginning of April - over half of our hospital reported deaths today were from over two weeks ago - and our care home data is as backdated if not more at times - it’s a nightmare

don’t get me wrong I’m not trying to minimise anything - all I am saying is that there are numerous things wrong with statistics which mean you always have to look at them with a critical head and try not to compare them with other countries and even states due to how they are reported and how...

Cheers for that :) I just find it slightly astonishing that we can label a persons death a Covid death without even seeing them before just based on circumstantial evidence! Most elderly patients go into respiratory distress at end of life unfortunately and I would hate to think that’s all it...

Sorry I’ve searched for the england articles I will carry on as I’m not out to make false claims but here’s a couple from Ireland that shows that death figures may be overstated...

it is happening in the uk! There are too many reports from families who have insisted Covid is taken of their family members certificates when there was no reason to believe they had it and they’d had no test! Not saying it’s a conspiracy but over here putting Covid means that there doesn’t have...

Okay yes but this was not decided yesterday but a couple of weeks ago when our casss were 1200/1500 a day still and it was due to public pressure about schools really (boris is a populist he will go wherever the public opinion goes) - I just feel that the damage children are feeling is worth the...

Gosh where to start apologies if this seems out of place if I had to quote everyone it would take hours! Firstly, the reporting of deaths in a lump sum is a massive issue and is done differently all round the world. Spain only report deaths in the previous 24 hours now so goodness knows how...

just to say I really really hope everyone has a wonderful time starting next week - I know there are worries about case numbers and healthcare numbers going up but I still know I’d feel safer at wdw than many other places worldwide tbh it doesn’t seem to matter where your figures are the same...

New Normal Second Wave Exponential R rates Lockdown

I guess the question has to be is why the majority of Europe has managed to open indoor dining and bars without a significant uptick in cases and America hasnt (we are only opening up our bars and dining on Saturday after 104 days of lockdown) - I am worried about our bars opening up as we dont...

the schools debate on here is interesting as it’s identical to the one in the uk at the moment - we wanted to get children all back in before the summer but the unions really railed against it and we had some primary and Our exam year groups back. We have had positives and one especially...

I really really do hope this is the worst it gets for Florida and the other states that are seeing spikes in numbers. We are talking about a local lockdown in one of our cities over here (UK) for a rise in cases which aren't overly significant and mainly due to outbreaks in food processing...

Do you know what I have some sympathy with the anxiety You feel I really do as I suffer massively from anxiety and I know that these circumstances have made me jumpy and worried every day - so I get it! I am in the uk and we are fed negative stories about cluster, second waves, how dangerous...
