6 from multiple households indoors or out is actually an upgrade for me, because before it was only 2 households indoors, but up to 30 people which I never understood how they came to that number
Second wave imminent.
QuoteSecond wave imminent.Maybe yes, but what impact will it have? I've been looking at the stats on worldometer.Firstly new cases. Remember all countries are most likely doing much more testing, and better testing, than they were back in march. So we will see more cases, so its difficult to compare with march and april.I just looked at a few Euro countries, you know countries that are similar (ish) to us. Spain shows the biggest spike. The number of cases they are detecting each day looks worrysome.But then back in march they had almost 1000 deaths a day at one point. The last few days they have ranged between 15 and 184. There is a clear delay between infection increase and recorded deaths. Spain is worth watching. The thing that really counts over the next few weeks/couple of months, is hospital admissions and deaths. Bear in mind in Scotland, around half our deaths were in care homes. That was a fuck up. That shouldn't happen again. I think the same mistake was made in England.It is probably the right thing to do to be cautious at this time, but could it be that this virus, for whatever reason has lost its bite? Lets hope so.Of course my worry is that we won't learn the lessons. The world needs to figure out how it can minimise the possibility of another pandemic. And oh to be young and foolish again.
India has some very serious figures right now. Obviously they have a massive population in comparison, but their curve is skyrocketing.

Averaging 95,000 Positive tests a DAY, and in the last 3 days there have been 1000, 1100 & 1200+ deaths, so is still rising rapidly.Obviously they have a massive population in comparison, but their curve is skyrocketing.
Not being funny, but you always seem to have something wrong with you. I've lost count of the number of maladies you've reported and detailed on here.

No its not good. They do have a population of around 1.35 billion though. At the moment in terms of deaths per 1 million they lie in 72th place in the world.The graph I am looking at shows a steady rise, it is not spiking, though that doesn't mean it won't. Same deaths.It is the USA that I find interesting. Yesterday almost 40,000 new cases recorded. Plus they seem to be running at just short of a thousand deaths a day. They sit 11th in the world for deaths per 1 million, but they are moving up the chart. UK is in 7th place.Not sure where this is all going.Anyway I had a stinking cold last week. How the heck did I catch a cold with social distancing, face masks, constant hand washing etc etc. I'm still wheezing.
I'm amazed people want go on holiday there. It sounds like just about one of the last places I'd wish to go to. I'm guessing it's because it's cheap.
Not political as they are Ex PM's and one labour and one conservative. But just seen them on the news walking shoulder to shoulder ( unless it was archive footage ) where's the social distancing.
So yet another misguided waste of public money, lowering speed limits in the name of pollution reduction (NO2) - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-54130862
