Which has at last started to move downwards after flatlining for
quite a while?
Meanwhile both government and scientists seem to be oblivious
to the continued free flow of international travellers?
Approx 3,000 per day and growing?
Where is the science in that?
This new app will turn out to be merely a diversion imo?
It would be better to stick a red flashing light on top of infected
peoples heads so healthy people could avoid them!!! LOL!

Sorry if I'm teaching grandma to suck eggs Donkeyman.....

I have to agree with you about international travellers, it makes a mockery out of everything we are trying to achieve.
We live about five miles from an airport and I noticed quite a few more flights yesterday, either from the airport or leaving trails across the clear blue sky while passing over, something I've not seen for quite a while.

A question if I may.....If the virus is more lethal to the over fifties, why did we have to close the country down and freeze the economy? Surely all the under fifties could have continued to work and children left in school. Being as most teachers are under fifty......Except for Rhian; But she looks well under fifty anyway....

I asked your question a few posts ago OGF, but so far, no answers?
Glad you brought it up again, l think when you mix politics with things
like public health etc nothing works by logic anymore??
Keep smiling !

Re: New infection statistics!

Yes, there ae a lot of unanswered questions.
Being just an ordinary bloke I cannot understand why this government is not barring all but essential flights into this country. Why have they not closed the Channel Tunnel to all but essential goods. Why are they standing by and watching the French costal patrols escort boat loads of immigrants into British waters. Why nothing seems to being done to prevent large gatherings of people at beaches, parks and other beauty spots. As usual I think things will get worse through the way they are handing this crisis and we will be forced into a more severe lockdown.

I feel the same BB, I think the government is driven by the media,
Which has its own agenda's, and can direct gov policy by causing
alarm amongst the population and so influence decsions or
lack of decisions!
I dont know what can be done about i though as without media
the pratts in power could get away with anything?

Re: New infection statistics!

Something wrong with the worldometers graph for new infections
in uk?
Yesterday showed an astonishing minus 412 new cases, ( is this
actually possible)?
And allready today,( before figures are released,) it indicates that
there are once again over 2,600 new cases??
I suspect that a new employee has been given the job of posting
the daily figures?
Its all very confusing for me?

No explanation for the sudden dip down to minus recently?

We are getting nowhere, so be it!

They did this once before Donkeyman, they missed a day out and then put them all on to the next days figures.

Yes, l must have missed that OGF,, They seem to have changed
their systems for some reason or other halfway through the
epidemic ( hopefully)! Why?
My main complaint is that they indicated that the new infection
rate had achieved a MINUS figure? This is physically impossible
imo, as once you reach zero you then have NO new cases and can
go no lower?
Then the very next day the new case figure was back around the
3,000 mark again?
WTF!
