An average of 300/day die every year in the UK from respiratory diseases (pneumonia/lung cancer/COPD).
The interesting thing is the 200 deaths per day

Maccies have this concept. You scan the QR code it takes you to a website where you put a fake name and number in when you don't want to be tracked or traced.100%. Gone a bit quieter on the app but hoping it will be part of Johnson’s misery announcement later in the week. Read it has a QR scanner you scan when you go into certain locations which should mean more useful data, highlight hot spots etc.
So a 2 thirds increase is a fairly worrying prospect
Aye, that'll be very specific but if you want people to moderate their behaviour, surely showing links between certain activities and the rise of infection is essential. There is a lot of indirect reference to not visiting others' houses, that's fine but show us the data it is based on.
It's surely basic public health messaging, of the sort that you see all over fag packets.

What's the point then?

100%. This links to the "cancel culture" issue. I get the point that we should allow people a platform because then they can then go on things like Question Time and be debated down & made to look stupid. Thats great... in principle.
Problem is we don't live in that age any more. Those days are long gone.
Tweets/ posts by prominent anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists & general morons get seen by more people in minutes than would watch a specific TV programme to hear someone talk, pretty sure I read somewhere that some crazy stuff saying "it is now proven that masks are actually as dangerous as covid" was retweeted 10m times in half an hour or something ridiculous- information is disseminated in a profoundly different way now, everyone has a platform and its incredibly powerful. Debate people all you want, it will do no good. Its a different playing field now and rules need to come in to reflect it.
So thats why in my opinion, if you're one of these people telling outright lies, and you have many hundreds of 000s of impressionable people reading attentively, then you should be gone, banned, "cancelled"- whatever you want to call it. You are abusing a platform in order to perpetuate proven mistruths, so you should lose that platform, its that simple.
Don't know how you do it practically, I get that too, but its not my job to know how to do it, somehow Twitter/ Facebook etc should actually be forced to implement rules whereby if you are caught spreading lies then you're gone- especially when peoples' lives are literally at risk from all this shit "advice" being spouted.

Start at the top. Have an MPs code of conduct and they get hammered if they bullshit.It's going to have to be legislated for like slander and libel. Fines for tweeting/retweeting stuff that's untrue - more followers = bigger fine. In this day and age debt could be wiped out in 18 months.
And with a testing system in disarray so who knows how out of date it is.4,368 and that is with the typical Monday drop
Just come back from the local shop. I was the only one of four sets of customers (7 people in total) wearing a mask...
I think some of the population are past caring.
Is that the Spar on banners brook?
No, it's the indie shop at the top of upper eastern green road - used to be known Louise's when I was a kid.
But I think I can see your reasoning....
I went to the chip shop there last week - I normally go to the Meriden one - and had to get some bread From there - dear me it’s really an argument against allowing social housing on a newish estate
I got called a c**t by a kid with floppy hair who looked about 10 the other day up there. Top laugh.
We looked at houses round there but thought better of it within 5 minutes.

Could you build a set of houses that looked cheaper than the ones on that estate? Ooh look, detached with four beds, and an awning over the front door..

My local shuts at 2230 anyway post lockdown so I don't think this is the magic key. Just pointless distraction from the data which is all going in the wrong direction.
Table service, close at 10 and try and work from home.
There has to be more or what is the point
