It’s very unhelpful especially to those who are struggling to understand Covid. COVID IS NOT THE FLU Sorry what misinformation ? I posted the stats from other Countries in the WORLD, it’s the league table that shows you were you have to quarantine on your return to the UK, I use it for my business travel and find it very helpful. Please tell me what is misinformed about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyms must shut, but McDonald's must stay open! The below slide shows exposure settings outside of work and education (where the vast majority are). Totally agree with you, however you never know with our current leadership and the advisors they are listening too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me what is misinformed about it? The suggestion that Covid could be the flu due to lower current death rates? Covid is Covid, it’s not the flu, never was the flu, never will be the flu. A lower death rate would never ever in a million years suggest it could be the flu, it’s quite simply impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that people continue to express, with their deeds and actions, that they think that restrictions don't really apply to them is his fault - or rather, the fault of the government for not slapping him. Then again, hindsight is 20:20 (unlike Dominic's eyesight). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let alone people who literally cannot afford to miss out And that's the problem. It's also the solution. People required to self-isolate should be paid to do so. If that's their entire salary for those 2 weeks, so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are two very different things though. Maybe they are trying to make it crystal clear to people why they are not the same. They will point out how much more deadly Covid is for a start. Nobody has the all the answers and can claim to be an expert, they would simply be a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
