Corona Virus Treatment

Quite right @pete Sooner or later, the world will come round to the Swedish way of thinking!

I wonder how many people posting on this thread understand without googling how herd immunity works?

 

I think we all have to make up are own minds, myself I've been in lockdown since the start, whatever Boris may say I will decide when its right for me to step outside the house, certainly not until the numbers are into double or even single figures........Give some idiots an inch and they will take a mile.

 

I tend to think how ever many they come out with on the official figures of how many have it, you can probably at least double that, we only really hear about the bad cases, very little info on the less drastic cases.

 

John totally agree, people should do as they see fit, if you feel threatened best to carry on doing what you are doing.

 

Well, not an expert by any means, but I do know that it involves fatalities, but the hope is that at some point enough people will have antibodies in order to break the chain of infection.
And at a certain point the virus becomes almost ineffective but not likely to disappear entirely, and could come back in smaller outbreaks.
But I might be wrong?

 

Our numbers have come down this week. We have had two single figure death days and the others n the teens this past week.

 

Gee whiz, I knew I might be a bit thick at times but didn't think I was considered ignorant!

Being as herd immunity is the reason for vaccinations for these many years I don't know what I musta thunk if I missed that one and needed google.. stupid me...

 

Not wrong at all @pete It works something like this:

In the beginning, all are healthy and go about their normal lives. Then, one or two get infected. After that, more and more get infected. Depending on what the infection is, when enough have been infected, what is termed herd immunity arises. How many people (as a percentage) is needed depends on the infection. These people then "protect" the rest of the community.

Yes, there will be deaths, they are unavoidable. I would say this however. Whenever there is a war - and this is a war - there are always casualties. The phrase "they died for the greater good" is often used. This phrase should be used for those that die as a result of Covid.

 

Would never call you thick @CanadianLori I value my life too much!

Seriously, once herd immunity is achieved, vaccinations are I believe not needed.

 

The vaccine people are out to produce a reliable vaccine I have no doubt.
But I think money comes into it, whoever comes up with one in large quantities is going to make a massive killing, it wont be free.
One thing puzzles me, where are China on all this, they had it first and should have been working on a vaccine before anyone else even thought about it.
Usually if there is money to be made China is up front.

 

The driver just going out of shot to the right......has been shot

 

Thank you @Fat Controller yes i agree but it's not knowing who it was. Just have to wait and see what Bojo says but it's out already. Fancy changing his slogan that people are confused about, that's what's going to cause another spike.

Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales didn't even have the opportunity to talk about it, bojo just went ahead with it
