You do want your family to be safe, don't you? The most classless response on this thread so far, good effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 See Wayne has had to have an emergency test because some idiot decided to visit him despite having been told to self isolate. Said idiot has now tested positive. No wonder we are in the mess we are. Why cant people just do what they are asked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Isn’t track and trace shutting the door after the horse has bolted anyway? Even if it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, it's more like circling the horse to catch it. Done properly, it is very effective. The problem in the UK is that the situation is out of control, and there's no way the resources exist to allow it to work effectively. General lockdowns are going to be needed unless something changes drastically, and the longer this faffing about goes on, the longer those lockdowns will need to be. It's a sad situation to be in.

Strange one isnt it. We are told that Track and Trace is the silver bullet. Sure everyone will remember that Germany were lauded over theirs and we were told that was the reason they had comparatively so few infections/deaths. Then we have a person on here that is adamant that once you have it under control that things can go back to normal. But now we see Germany are having 8000 cases per day. It's almost as if there is actually no magic formula in getting things under control and each place should take measures that suit their own situation.

You may find it funny but I found your response to b4 condescending and quite frankly embarrassing. Who do you think you are to 'make it simple' for b4 by asking him if he wants his parents to be safe. Made yourself sound like a poor mans version of Matt Hancock and that takes some doing.

Agreed. I've called them out as useless since day one on this. Interesting to see how people who have used their advice on mask wearing will react to this though.

It's no magic bullet, anyone who is suggesting is it one is clearly deluded. It's only useful as part of a full response. Done well in one, it can be very effective though. South Australia prevented a potentially major outbreak through such. As to Germany, it's funny to see them held up, when their response is criticised elsewhere in the World. They clearly never had it under control, their cases never got below the hundreds. 17 minutes ago, G STAR RAM said: The World Health Organization disagree with you. Source?

Trust me they have been used against the UK to show how bad our response has been on a very regular basis.

I've ignored them since Day 1, preferring to listen to experts like @smiths_tavrn and @G STAR RAM who have been right all along. It was very selfish to leave this forum forever @G STAR RAM as we had all come to rely on your expertise Incredibly, you've returned to educate us further. What do you think we should do? Herd Immunity sounds like a nice simple thing that we can all have valid opinions on. Why do people think that the so-called experts know more about it than us? I think we've all had enough of experts. We can probably all find a chart that proves our carefully considered opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you will apply the same standards to the Government when they change their advice on things then? No thought not. Keep on playing the 'left the forum' card, sure you'll continue to get the laughing or clapping emojis you desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
