I Think Britain As A Nation Is Finished

@SW-User slight alteration my sorrys, "Could Be next Month apparently"

@SW-User Section 44 - don't return unless it's safe 🤷‍♀️

@RadiantRuby Banning doesn't do anything good for the people.

Of course, I could list all the bad things government has done in the name of asinine beliefs like 'public safety', but I'll just say this.

True freedom has a high cost, and that cost is constant vigilance; disarmed society is an enslaved society, an undeniable fact.

@RadiantRuby based on that fact he should ban all cars that can go over the speed limit. I mean nobody "needs" a corvette is the exact same logic.

Outlaw guns and only the outlawd will have guns still applies

@Amyrakunejo ... you’ve just identified 3 Nations that made up the bulk of the Army that won WW2 and has helped in most wars ever since, if you think those 3 are finished, God help the rest of the World

@Northerner :( true

@RadiantRuby alot of us don't believe he had it at all,

@MelanieUK Probably did it to get attention, Boris is slimy. If he really had it, his reaction would be different.

@RadiantRuby problem pop's up disappear and let the minions deal with it, Boris's Mantra

@MelanieUK ... you’re deleting a lot of comments ... obviously ones you can’t handle ... SNOWFLAKE

@BigGuy2you obviously haven't read the comment I made regarding your posts then

@SW-User I don't think he had it Jenny, no one else had such a miraculous recovery,

@pjeffries85 :(

@MelanieUK You missed a few. :( It's annoying when silly little children try to disrupt serious discussions with their infantile prattle.

@Sharon no I left some just so people would understand why I had deleted, but thanks for noticing x is the numbty still sprouting off?

@MelanieUK Doesn't appear to be but he shouldn't be able to post to your thread(s) anyway if you've blocked him.

@MelanieUK be interesting to see if there's a relaxation of schools act in the guidance document this afternoon or whether existing legislation will apply once schools return. Ie fines for parents who don't send thieir kids in

@SW-User Another point to consider is school uniform. A lot of children will be starting new schools in September. Impoverished parents have to struggle at the best of time, sometimes going hungry, to afford the extortionately priced school uniform. As many of them will have been unable to work and surviving on seriously reduced income (if any at all) buying school uniform will be impossible.

Perhaps parents could turn that to their advantage. If they are unable to buy a school uniform, their children will be isolated from others (social distancing) or, once the school runs out of isolation cells, sent home, thus reducing the risk of them being infected.

@SW-User E won't be going back until September if it is safe. She's a summer baby so isn't legally meant to be in school until she's 5 anyway

@BigGuy2 [image deleted]

@Harriet03 ... what !!!

Is that a dig at me or her

@BigGuy2 ☝️

@Harriet03 We've been told June 1st with Year 6 first, 6 to a room. Itll probably all change by this afternoon

@SW-User What the government says and what it actually does often bear no resemblance to each other.

@Sharon no shit

@senghenydd It's actually true; the common cold and influenza are of the corona virus archetype....

@Amyrakunejo there are seven coronavirus that infect humans. Flu is not a coronavirus HCoV-229E and HCoV-OC43 account for about 25% of common cold infections. HCoV-NL63 and HCoV-HKU1 complete the human coronavirus species they are associated with quite serious upper respiratory tract infections.

Then the three known zootropic ones SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and now of course SARS-CoV-2. First came probably from a bat (bats have incredibly well developed immune systems so cause coronavirus to mutate to more harmful types but got to humans via a cevit cat MERS-CoV famously via camels. The latest is thought via pengolins.

Good news is that the genetic fingerprint being similar to the last two there's been a lot of work looking for possible vaccine in universities. But coronavirus is hard to crack. They are a hardy virus and this one is showing fantastic ability to rapidly replicate inside hosts and to mutate too. UK has over 20 strains already identified.

Maybe a combination of anti virals and an anti inflammatory as a treatment will be the best hope using existing drugs rather than a universal vaccine. I think we'll see a variety of vaccines some more effective with various demographics than others.

@SW-User Obviously I'm not a medical professional what you have said sounds hopeful I only hope this can and will be beaten and will keep my fingers crossed.

@MelanieUK On the base of hospital load, % of positive swabs over total swabs, number of tests performed everyday, and daily deaths, we're getting better and better. It's already *much* better than one month ago. But our lockdown was much tighter than other countries, we'll see now that it's being lifted.

@Elessar wishing you luck and happiness for you all

@MelanieUK You too guys! 🇬🇧🇮🇹
