Not sure you should bin your head epidemiologist in the middle of a pandemic for a PR fuckup. Considering he was one of the reasons we didn't do absolutely nothing and become a failed plague state, this is worrying. He isn't there to inform our big brained ministers that letting the NHS collapse isn't going to improve the economy. They need clever people to remember that hospital beds are not infact infinite.

Junior G-man posted:Lost your job? Well you should be in a sustainable business then. Government's not here to help you lounge about. That's only for nonces, landlords, and loving corporate tax evaders. I can understand the ideological stance of being against 'hand outs'. I don't agree with it but I understand it. But all the people saying this poo poo seem to have forgot there's a pandemic. It's like they think it's over but people are still staying at home for fun. If easing the lock down isn't done correctly it'll gently caress things up way worse than having to pay people for another couple of months. They literally can't think more than a week ahead.

How do the factors interact? Say i'm less than 40 but recovering from cancer, do you take the highest risk factor ratio or is it an average between them?

Guavanaut posted:They're ratios that should be accounting for other factors. So if having lymphoma over 5 years ago makes you twice as likely to die of COVID-19, that's twice as likely as someone who hasn't in the same age group. So for an <40 that's double gently caress all, but for 40-49 it's twice as likely as a quarter as likely as a 50-59 year old (so still half as likely). Ah I see. Thanks.

XMNN posted:that would imply that they had ditched anything about it other than the terminology in the first place, which I'm not convinced they did I'm not defending the government here, but how are they possibly going to excuse the second wave that happens in 2 weeks time? Is it not possible that they're just really stupid and still don't understand this disease? Wouldn't every scientist and heath specialist involved have to be in on the secret herd immunity plan?

OwlFancier posted:I don't even get the economic argument to be honest, surely even killing everyone the virus can kill in a "controlled" manner is gonna cause far more economic damage than figuring out how to make it work without killing people. Yeah, the fallout from all the deaths is going to gently caress everything up so much harder than this current outbreak. People are going to notice when no one can get funeral spaces. It's going to be hard for them to explain why we're the only nation in Europe that still has thousands dying and at increasing rates. Whatever their reasoning a master plan this is not.

OwlFancier posted:Like if this is some master plan to make people ignore the lockdown I don't think it's going to work very well because they've done a very good job of making a lot of people think the lockdown is important, in part by killing fifty thousand people. There’s also the nhs imploding. They can’t ignore that. The problem wasn’t capacity, it was staff. They can’t just fill every bed and ignore it. We simply don’t have the doctors and nurses. The nhs would collapse and people would notice.

OwlFancier posted:Kids are already doing a much better job at seeing through it than the old are. Yeah but doesn't the immunity eventually run out? So you'd need an outbreak at least once a year and also another 300,000 deaths? You know the thing the herd immunity crew keep ignoring.

"The Senedd has decided not to provide emergency funding to support them." That's my Welsh government! I don't know what the fuckers actually do. The only money to be made here is from tourism. And those are hosed. Wonder how bad it's going to get. For an example of Welsh governing: Colwyn Bay council vacillated on whether to fix it's famous pier for two decades until it just fell apart in a storm one day.

a pipe smoking dog posted:The thing that still entirely baffles me is how they think this will help the economy. If there is one thing that is terrible for the economy it's a very large number of people dying or being incapacitated. The hospitals will just fall over again. If there's one bit of good news, that's not really good, it's that we can't brute force our way through this like America is doing.

I don't think the government is going to get away with just ignoring a second wave. As dumb as this country people do seem worried about covid. They're too stupid to actually keep themselves safe but it does worry them. When NHS workers are telling any reporter they can find that everything has gone to poo poo again there's going to be no way to stop the backlash. People like the NHS. The workers are everywhere and they are going to be telling people that everything is hosed. This isn't like the US where the hospital is just another business. If the NHS openly declares war on Boris then lollll. All we can do now is keep ourselves and anyone you like safe.

Pesmerga posted:Corbyn could never fail, only be failed. Everything he did even when it seemed misguided at the time was 12 dimensional chess proving he was a tactical genius, even when evidence seemed to suggest otherwise. Did you just not notice how the media acted towards him for 3 years? Did you miss a general openly telling everyone they’d coup him? Was the man who had a years long anti-semitism smear against him sabotaged? Yes.

Prince John posted:If it helps, the Independent Sage chap whose modelling has apparently been pretty accurate doesn't seem too worried about whether we ease lockdown at the wrong rate: Interesting that he thinks Germans are just naturally immune to a brand new virus. How the gently caress did they luck out like that and can we harvest them for their blood?

stev posted:This seems to indicate that the Tories lost ground simply because people are unhappy with the lockdown, rather than the thousands of unnecessary deaths. Doesn't this just represent the voting intention of people who bother to respond to polls? I might be wrong but I thought these things always skewed old. Which means Tory. Those fuckers aren't ever going to stop voting Tory.
