It isn't frustration, but fear. And not fear of catching a flu-like virus, which I believe I have already had anyway. It is the way this affair is being blown out of proportion and used as a pretext for usurping hard-won fundamental rights and I am not convinced we are going to get them all back. I am not sure what, but I think there is a political agenda behind this and it won't be a good agenda as far as the majority of the people go.


I think you might be right here Tim.

I don't think we are going to get our fundamental rights all back. We use to take them for granted.

All as it seems to me and imo

When we do not yet know if the antibodies produced after infection even offer ANY protection going forward, let alone how much, to what age groups and for how long and thus whether a vaccine is even possible. When we do not know how and to what degree it may mutate over time. When we do not yet these things and many many others it is inconceivable to me that someone can say with the degree of certainty you do above that 'it is being blown out of proportion'.

We just do not know and can not if that is the case with the information we have so far. We MIGHT be blowing it out of proportion. We MIGHT not. You fear Orwellian outcomes. I fear the kind of 'certainty' you appear to show above in the face of so many and much unknowns.

I am not sure where you get your inflated figures from. Seemingly, recently retired professor of pathology and NHS consultant pathologist, Dr John A Lee, quoted above, doesn't know what he's talking about.


Sorry, I meant to say 300%.

They are not reporting their recovery rate just like most countries are withholding information with regard to recoveries. Cyprus is doing the same.

Australia was as well, until for some reason it declared that 1800 patients recovered in one day. They were not reporting and decided to report all in one bang.

I don't know why so many countries are withholding information, but they are.

Sweden should be sitting around 7000 recoveries.

Yes, you may be right that some countries are not reporting their "recoveries" continually. Perhaps there are major discrepancies/disagreements from some countries as to what a "recovery" really is!

UK is ONLY counting the coronavirus deaths if they occur at the hospital and not at nursing homes or private homes. There could be half as much more dead which are not accounted for in the above amount for U.K.

The statistics literally don’t make any sense.

For instance, look at Cyprus recovery rate, and look at Australia’s recovery rate.

Australia wasn’t releasing either until they played catch up. I still think they are under reporting and that there are more recoveries they are holding back.
