Mark (in the other thread), seems to be intimating that this new strain is just like any old other strain of flu and producing numbers/stats = yearly/death from flu and such.
At first, I thought, maybe yeah, aren't we just reporting people who died (and maybe would have died anyway, from pneumonia and such), but the previous strains didn't crash the NHS or hospital systems in such a compacted time and attack the vulnerable in such a devastating way.
For it to be so lethal and averse to our natural defences, I do wonder if this is some kind of 'man made' virus that has been inadvertently released!
Hi Kev. I did not say that at all. In fact it is almost the exact opposite of what I said.
Both are viruses, in the same realm, but they are very different in their impact on society. What I was pointing out was that with hardly any supportive data on the virus and our knowledge of it changing every week, that perhaps the models and plans of our scientists that are telling us to lockdown cities, that our peaks could be in 10-12 weeks time etc etc COULD BE WRONG. I also said that there are a number of top scientists that think our strategies are all wrong but that their voices are being silenced by the media hysteria, a hysteria that puts pressure on governments to make decisions that are emotive and not necessarily correct.
I would like to remind everyone that 3 weeks ago in the UK that scientists persuaded our government that it was best to let the population run thru the country so we could acquire herd immunity. After this did not go down well with the press, or Who, the government suddenly changed their minds and we went into lockdown. Two completely different strategies in a matter of days. I think it is worth wondering why that happened. By all accounts DC decided it was not politically expedient to let people die... It would look better if they fought the virus tooth and nail and screwed the economy. As Peter Hitchens pointed out this morning the long term effects of a recession on our health service could be catastrophic. We also have most of the population cowering at home, frightened out of their wits in some cases by the plethora of scare stories in the papers designed to make people stay inside and toe the party line

This from Trevor Kavanagh ex editor today.
"JUST two years ago, in the Beast From The East winter of 2017-18, a flu epidemic prematurely claimed the lives of more than 50,000 frail and elderly victims.
In the official jargon, these were “excess winter deaths
To the medical profession they were a “pensioner harvest”. To the rest of us, the carnage went almost unnoticed.
Nobody thought then of turning the Excel exhibition centre into a 5,000-bed field hospital or crippling the economy for decades to come by trying to slow the inevitable death rate.
Fast forward to today. The coronavirus death toll has topped 1,200 and, according to expert Prof Neil Ferguson, it could all be over in weeks with a final tally of “less than 7,000”.
That’s a big drop from the Prof’s terrifying forecast two weeks ago of up to half a million dead and perhaps 18 months’ lockdown.
It was the same Neil Ferguson whose nightmarish forecast of mass fatalities from “mad cow disease” proved totally wrong and whose policy of mass slaughter for foot-and-mouth disease cost us £8BILLION.
His initial Grim Reaper scenario on coronavirus threw Downing Street into panic, forced the UK into lockdown, crashed the economy and put millions out of work, some permanently. "

I have to wear a mask at work. Worse yet, with a shortage of masks I have to reuse the same mask each day. I don't think anyone is supposed to wear a mask all day long. In normal medical situations you wear a mask for a few minutes to a few hours depending no what the medical professional is doing.
Having to wear a mask for eight hours a day Ive been short of breath, been laboring to breath, feeling sick in general probably for taking back in the carbon monoxide I'm supposed to be expelling and having a heavy feeling in my chest. Be careful wearing masks. What kind, and for how long. When I am at safe distances I'm going to start taking the mask off for short periods of time while working.
Info:
A person wearing any kind of mask faces breathing resistance as air filters through the device, making the wearer work harder to inhale than he would without the mask. This can have several adverse physiological effects when the mask is worn for long periods of time. Moreover, carbon dioxide that is exhaled can get trapped in the chamber of the mask the re-enter the body each time the mask user inhales. This delivers less oxygen into the body than when the person is not wearing a mask.
“It can lead to oxygen shortage, suffocation, respiration trouble, and heart attacks,” said Dr D Saha, scientist and additional director at the Central Pollution Control Board.
He pointed out that masks are a potential source of bacteria and viruses. “The moisture from exhalation inside the mask, when in constant contact with the 37 degrees Celsius warm human body, becomes ideal place for virus and bacteria to thrive,” he said. This could result in the growth of microbes on masks and aid the spread of airborne diseases like influenza.
