"Don’t listen to all the crap the media are writing , we will be fine everything will open up on the 21st , because if it doesn’t there will be riots " No there won't! People have said that after every lockdown or roe back of lifting of restrictions. | |||

"Don’t listen to all the crap the media are writing , we will be fine everything will open up on the 21st , because if it doesn’t there will be riots " The media write crap occasionally I'll grant you.. And that depends mainly on the quality of which media more than what media..it's not in the currant bun or the daily fail or on Good Morning Britain.. The Beeb are a little bit suspect too come to that.. You can't argue with scientific proof though 
The science in this is pretty much overwhelming.. So it doesn't matter what the media say.. If we Continue to keep messing about with how we manage the movement of the population then we will continue to have problems.. We don't need media to know that..
It is very clear 21st is not going to happen the way everyone wants it to.. It might. But it's not going to happen without risk and its the balance of that risk which will be important..

"It seems crazy that cases are accelerating across the country yet we continue to open up. I’ve a horrible feeling that this will be a brief respite in the pandemic! Xx" The number of new cases has been broadly the same for weeks now, the cases ARE NOT currently accelerating. Of course the number of cases should ideally be going down, but the reduction in restrictions is bound to slow that decline. If the number of new cases starts to significantly climb again, then that will be a different situation. Cal | |||

"I refuse to be locked down again. Next time I will not be sticking to the rules." Can you see a pattern here though? Not following rules.. Cases increase.. Lockdown..

"It's too early to say at the moment, as data is minimal and the 21st June is a fair way off. With uncertainty, it would have been better to postpone the change this week. The variant still isn't that well understood. It's infecting younger people who are also sufferers of long covid. It's not just about hospitalisations and deaths, other outcomes are atrocious and all are preventable. Letting infection levels rise gives each additional 1 the chance to form a worse mutation, to our detriment. With so many people infecting others worldwide every day, new variants could arise that bypass the vaccine protection that we have. We've got 2 types of protection - restrictions or vacancies. Preventing problems needs fast, high quality decisions. Delay too much and bad becomes much worse. " Viruses mutate all the time and even though they become more transmissible they also become less deadly and as for so called long covid influenza also can leave lasting health problems as do many viruses . We should be opened up and getting on with and your talking rubbish when you say it’s not just deaths and hospitalisations we should be worried about that all we should be worried about and remember the survival rate is high and the average age of death is 82 .

" It's encouraging, but more transmissible variants will need a higher threshold for herd immunity and I worry about waning immunity in the elderly. (Haven't kept up with the React 2 stuff) And herd immunity ultimately includes children - an EUA for kids down to 12 has been issued in the US, which is promising, but we're not there yet. | |||

"We should be getting back to large gathering and normal life bin the useless face masks and get rid of some of these stupid rules Sounds great whilst their is the Indian variant and numbers increasing pretty quickly, and no data to show if those vaccinated are at risk "There is very strong evidence that those who have been vaccinated are not getting seriously ill with it though. | |||

"The Indian variant is no more dangerous and the day the vaccine will cover it hardly anyone in hospital with it hardly anyone dying . Time to get on with life " As pointed out previously thats exactly whats happening. | |||

"Highly transmissible is not the same as been more dangerous . It’s what all viruses do mutate become more transmissible but less dangerous as they don’t want to kill the host . You do realise that it’s always mutating . Matt Hancock is just trying to scare people by putting out these sound bites . Covid isn’t going anywhere so we have to get on with life " I'm guessing when you say we your mainly talking about you we still have data to consider since yes viruses mutate, don't we as adults have a responsibility to think about children who yet haven't been vaccinated, or don't they matter | |||

"Children are not at risk from this actually the majority of people arnt kids should not even be wearing masks . You seem to be scared of getting with life " Children not at risk they haven't been, only a small amount of children took I'll from covid19 but the if the wider population of adults have been vaccinated is the virus we had here in UK plus the Indian variant going to mutate and infect children making them in the same circumstances as the valuable adults who were dying rapidly from infection. | |||

" the nhs was never going to be over run and a lot of hospitals were no busier than they usually are through influenza season and actually a lot of the people who are hospitalised with it don’t survive and the place your most likely to catch it is hospital and care settings . The nhs had 70k of empty beds last summer while people were dying at home of other causes because they were been advised to stay at home or couldn’t get to see anyone .

The media and government have scared the population into believing everything that they are told, come on this has been handled poorly from the very start . Ear out to help out oh dear it’s spread lockdown ok everyone out oh it’s high again lockdown , enough is enough people who tested positive then have a heart attack having Covid on there death certificate, it’s all lies "I agree about the media,bad news sells,its as simple as that. Always making things sound worse than there are. When they would say the hospitals were overwhelmed with covid patients, what they forgot to mention was,that yes a covid ward that might have 16 beds is full,not the rest of the hospital, just that covid ward,they'll have been some empty beds elsewhere in a hospital,but they can't put covid patients there with non covid patients....that's an example of the media scaremonging....hospital not full,just covid ward full. In January I was out with my dog and I got talking to a late 50s couple and the female actually told me during a covid conversation that her sister, who was high up in the hospital she worked at,actually told her that it's not how the news is making it out to be. Look no further than when ross kemp,went into that supermax prison down south,that Tommy Robinson was all over the papers,they were saying he had been beating up and had a black eye etc...,the cameras were on ross kemp and tommy Robinson as they read and heard about it,they didn't have a clue and no Mark's on him,he was in a super isolation unit or something,....media bullshitting. | |||

I'd probably be fine (I had a suspected case, I made a full recovery). I might pass it on to someone who's not fine. I can hold off a bit to make sure we get this thing properly dealt with. I have restraint. | |||

"It's too early to say at the moment, as data is minimal and the 21st June is a fair way off. With uncertainty, it would have been better to postpone the change this week. The variant still isn't that well understood. It's infecting younger people who are also sufferers of long covid. It's not just about hospitalisations and deaths, other outcomes are atrocious and all are preventable. Letting infection levels rise gives each additional 1 the chance to form a worse mutation, to our detriment. With so many people infecting others worldwide every day, new variants could arise that bypass the vaccine protection that we have. We've got 2 types of protection - restrictions or vacancies. Preventing problems needs fast, high quality decisions. Delay too much and bad becomes much worse. Viruses mutate all the time and even though they become more transmissible they also become less deadly and as for so called long covid influenza also can leave lasting health problems as do many viruses . We should be opened up and getting on with and your talking rubbish when you say it’s not just deaths and hospitalisations we should be worried about that all we should be worried about and remember the survival rate is high and the average age of death is 82 . It won’t be going anywhere so we’ve got to get on with life Incorrect. We should be concerned about many of the impacts of this virus, some of them health impacts, others not. Deaths and hospitalisations are 2 aspects of the health issues. Long Covid, as I'd mentioned, is another. This virus is very different to the flu viruses and long Covid is unique and still poorly understood. Organ damage and failure is catastrophic and has lifelong implications, potentially cutting life expectancy. You're not bothered about it, presumably because you've not got such a catastrophic impact from it. We do have to get on with life - we've been doing that since the start of this. Expecting nothing to be different, not having mitigating measures, is the pursuit of fool's gold. We have many measures that we take all the time, to minimise and control risk, which is why you are subject to a large number of controls on citizens' and organisations' behaviour and rights. It's part of being a responsible member of society. It's right for us to have our strategy driven by the evidence and data. this virus is very similar to flu and long covid is a buzz word made up by sage . Most viruses can leve long lasting recasting effect including organ damage " Long Covid is being used as a term internationally but ok | |||

"Yes, if the Indian variant, or subsequent mutations take hold! The pressure to reopen society is causing government to posits nerve, regrettably. don’t talk rubbish theirs no evidence lockdowns work but plenty of evidence they cause harm and death Oh really? Share your sources. do your research I have and you are wrong, lockdowns do work. your wrong no proof at all lockdowns work but study’s coming out saying they cause more harm and in the long run will cause more deaths and cut the average life expectancy . If they worked we wouldent be still be in restrictions over a year later . New Zealand? Australia? Things seem to have gone much better for their people than those in the UK wouldn't you say? you can not compare two country’s in the Pacific with small populations and different population destiny who are not major transport hubs with the uk Yes yes, Australia didn't do well with Covid because it closed the borders, it did well because the outback exists. That old chestnut "it can’t be compared to a European country with high population destiny totally different . | |||

"Who knows it's too early to tell... I am tracking cases of it as we have the Indian variant down here in Southampton the Indian variant is no more deadly actually it will be less dangerous " You do not know that. The data is still being gathered and researched. The levels of fatality are 1 of the important criteria but transmissability and other severe health damage are amongst them. Viruses mutate, as we know. Cutting infection levels reduces the potential for new mutations to occur. Any 1 of them could be a game changer that we don't need. | |||
