  Corona Virus - What a UK Virologist says!

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. social
  2. current

  in an interview on the bbc yesterday, a virus expert laid it on the line:.

  he basically said that until the vast majority of people have been infected (or eventually vaccinated) and are then immune from re-infection, the problem will not go away.

  in other words, virtually all of us may be infected before a vaccine is delivered, thereby putting all of the at-risk elderly citizens in the uk in a really perilous position.

  I think the U.K's inept Right Wing Government has actually back-pedalled somewhat on the " Herd Immunity" nonsense. Even if a bit of that is true, immunity cannot be passed on, so those that survive do so, those that die do so. Immunity is doubtful, especially against a new strain, and those that have had it may have long lasting lung damage, making them less able to manage in the future.

  They are now doing what their evident mantra tells them to do, " Too Little Too Late".

  They are finally closing Schools etc, but NOW would be the time to put the Country on some sort of managed Lockdown. They will not do this until later.

  Their policy, of too little too late, will cost live and jobs etc etc

  God, I despair of this useless lot, headed by a Clown of a P.M.

  google translation from the government website:.

  the federal government has agreed with the federal states on guidelines for a uniform approach to further restrict social contacts in public life.

  grocery retail, weekly markets and delivery services, pharmacies, drugstores, banks, petrol stations and wholesalers remain unaffected.

  Sensible action, from a Government that seems to care about its people, we do not have such a Government in the U.K.

  a while back, we had a saturday wedding reception for a brother and sister from our kingdom hall.

  the reception ended at midnight.

  most of us got home at around 1:00 a.m. our sunday public talk meeting started at 9:30 a.m. .

  One guy who really made me laugh, I can't remember if the Post was on here or elsewhere, but he said he fell asleep at an outdoor Convention, and people told him afterwards they could see a Rainbow from his dribble.

  ROFLMAO !!

  How Will the Quarantined Dubbies React When the "All Clear" Sounds?

  seriously, i can't help wondering whether their hiatus from meetings and service will alter their post-covid-19 lifestyle once they experience the freedom of life in the absence of the hamster wheel?.

  Bit of both I guess, but when they do start full operations again, i do think many will think to themselves " I actually loved not being on the treadmill". And hopefully, their oft mentioned "zeal" will be greatly diminished.

  In one of the latest Letters to Elders here in the U.K they said, about Corona Virus " this convinces us that we are in the final part of the Last Days". !!

  I won't be around in a few years, but will you guys remind them please, of this failed prediction ?

  Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

  by Simon in

  this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

  latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

  the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

  The re-infection problem may be as stated by Mr Fukuda, let's hope he is right. But what I said about the herd immunity thing, is any of that wrong ?

  since donations boxes are going to lie empty for who knows how long, will the warwick parasites instruct (aka insist) jw's to now donate via bank standing order?.

  "Herd immunity" is only achieved by 80-85 % of the population being Vaccinated, or the old diseases now controlled, would have disappeared long before vaccines came on the scene.

  Immunity cannot be passed on. Let that sink in. A small immunity may be passed on by a breast feeding mother, but this is not effective at protecting all, hence we sensibly vaccinate as many people as we can.

  This virus has been found in people who have had the disease and recovered, and then tested positive again. They either did not build up any immunity, and were re-infected, or it lay dormant and came back, again no immunity.

  The U.K Governments "policy" which is basically go home, stay two metres away from others, and if you can manage it die, that saves their Government money, is Totally Insane, and is the callous, calculated murder of more than likely many hundreds of thousands.

  Do you really think this will work out well ?
