Yes probably meeting friends for a game of golf or even tennis or whatever is probably safe. But it goes against the overall message which is stay at home. Do I like it? No. Do I understand it? Yes.

Yes probably meeting friends for a game of golf or even tennis or whatever is probably safe. But it goes against the overall message which is stay at home. Do I like it? No. Do I understand it? Yes.

Yeah, for months there have been individual restrictions that have been difficult to justify in isolation, but the authorities seem to have belatedly understood that continuity of message is crucial.

People just don't do granularity very well, particularly when it's not well communicated. Last year demonstrated this, with widespread complaints that advice was confusing and seemed inconsistent. More nefarious individuals cited this confusion when attempting to dismiss the credibility of the advice, and even the concept of restrictions altogether.

Another related, and also poorly communicated, consideration has been the difference between cumulative risk and relative risk. Still people argue that because they are permitted to do Activity X they should therefore be permitted to do Activity Y, which they deem to be relatively less risky with regard to exposure to the virus.

But relative risk doesn't really matter, and is a poor way of calibrating your risk tolerance. It's the cumulative risk of everything you do in a day/ week/ whatever that determines your risk exposure - so cutting out any non-essential stuff (like golf, for example) will help, even if you are still going ahead with other activities with more risk.

Vaccination is the way to go and all governments should be using their resources to purchase and distribute it not spending their time and money on locking up people and paying them off for staying at home ,at the same time small businesses fold for no reason as most things should be open with regulations.golf and outdoor activities should all be open and welcome people again with regulations.
Hopefully we will learn from this and be a little smarter next time .

I see we have 13 people who died in hospice as Covid deaths.

Is that not incredible?

Good oul right-wing Gmac!
We should have been vaccinating people not locking them up.
Does he realise the Vaccinations only came on stream 9 or 10 months later.
But I suppose when you go full Yank rwnj you leave all your brains aside.

So the data up to today in the O6 states.

0-19 - 14,461 cases; 1 death (0.0069% fatality rate)
20-39 - 40,194 cases; 5 deaths (0.0124% fatality rate)
40-59 - 33,824 cases; 92 death (0.272% fatality rate)
60-79 - 15,190 cases; 684 deaths (4.503% fatality rate)
80+ - 6,497 cases; 1,243 deaths (19.1319% fatality rate)

So if you're under 20, you have a 1 in 14,461 chance of dying if you test positive
If you are 20-39 you have a 1 in 8,039 chance of dying if you test positive
If you are 40-59 you have a 1 in 367 chance of dying if you test positive
If you are 60-79 you have a 1 in 22 chance of dying if you test positive
If you are 80+ you have a 1 in 5 chance of dying if you test positive

And that's BEFORE you even factor in the 93% of people who die who already have underlying health conditions.

So nobody apart from prisoners are "locked up"?

And your statement that people were locked up was just hysterical nonsense?

You're either thick, blind or both . I work, front line even had my first jab! Unless I'm wearing slippers in work I don't have a clue to your slippers reference.

As for your other one on being original, you don't get that you're following on from Seaney changing my name?

The irony is lost on you but considering the crap you put on here in the random format you use, it's not surprising
