I saw that the number dying yesterday was lower than previous days, does that mean we're over the hump? Or is it too early to know that yet? xx It was a bottleneck - 786 passed over today.................... and that's only in hospital.

I just saw the Mirror headline, F, 854 according to them, my heart sank

technology is a tool not a fucking lifestyle That's just it, Harry, I use it when I need to as so much is online these days (and I like things like chatting on forums) but if I want to know something I still prefer to go to the library and get a book.

'Batshit spouter of bollox' needs to go on a T shirt, Cris Lol I went over to Tesco tonight as we couldn't get a delivery this week and it feels like another world out there. Supermarket very quiet, the people who were in there were being very careful to stick to the 2metres and the supermarket has tape and arrows on the floor to show you how much space you need to leave, didn't see a soul walking over there, two walking back who crossed to the other side of the road as soon as they saw me. But you can feel that the air is cleaner, the roads are much quieter, it feels really calm.

Yes its beautifully quiet in fact its beautifully silent most of the time round here. Usually only places i can normallt experience this level of silence is the Yorkshire Dales or Scottish glens. So lovely to hear the wildlife and not humans doing their shit.

To be fair some people are stupid enough to pay for a tv license to watch the propaganda the bbc churns out. Theres no fathoming some people.

I thought I'd ask my Covid questions over here so's not to clog up the other thread but I am getting more confused the more I read. I'm confused about this thing about flattening the curve, mostly because even with social distancing and the lockdown there must still be millions of people out every day, either because their jobs are essential or because they need to go out and get groceries or just go for a walk (or be a dick and drive from Nottingham to London as someone was apparently caught doing yesterday). So it would still be spreading amongst those people? And many of them would just get a bit unwell, not be ill enough to need hospital or die? So they might not even know they have it? I'm finding all the numbers confusing and I don't really understand the way they talk about it - is the curve the number of people dying or the number of people getting it? And do you think they are just quietly doing this herd immunity thing and fudging the numbers a bit (that's me with my tin foil hat on - I'm just confused by one report saying 60,000 deaths and the other one saying it's not as bad as we thought it was going to be)? Thanks in advance to anyone clever enough to understand it all. I need a biscuit now

Thanks in advance to anyone clever enough to understand it all. I need a biscuit now IMO it's the rate of infection that needs to be watched, the deaths just a 'by-product' (and the figures wrong anyway) but when the infection rate flattens off we're at the peak although there may be a blip or two as peeps break the rules or NHS or others get it from working with the 'infected'. Some infected people will continue to die from 'complications' after the infection rate hits zero. Then there's the world travellers stuck abroad ( again IMO most are twunts as they would have had plenty of warning on what was happening but decided to stay on their hols instead of hotfooting it home) some will return bringing it back with them and it will start again in hot-spots.
The key workers are playing russian roulette on getting ill but without them the system would collapse but providing they take extra care they should be safe but there's always that risk. Too many 'buts' I know, got my lazy head on.
Social distancing is the answer as well as hygiene until a vaccine is found or we will be having this problem forever.
As for the 'tourists', 2nd home brigade and rental cottages, the locals have missed their chance on burning them out. Sorry but they do deprive local folk of the chance to continue to live locally in the majority of places in the UK.
