Government Scientists’ Statement Today...

[Gromit2]

...warned of 1,500,000 new corona cases a month, and 6000 deaths

Why were we told that ?

[Peter Pedant]

// ymb //Stop looking at cases Danny,//

yeah stop

they will only frighten you - agree with NJ and say - Covid isnt out there so I can do what I like

[youngmafbog]

"and say - Covid isnt out there so I can do what I like"

I didnt say that did I, stop putting words into peoples mouths.

Cases are one measure, you need to look at all the measures to get a full picture.

[woofgang]

what other measures YMB?
hospitalisations...rising

I think the time has come, Peter, for you to either stop peddling your nonsensical misquotes or face the moderator's sword. I indulge you because you clearly have some problems. But it's getting rather tiresome so please stop.

[ToraToraTora]

learning dis judge, we all must tollerate.

I was under the impression that NJ was saying more or less the opposite of PP's quote, ie "Covid is always going to be out there [until a vaccine possibly] no matter what control measures are taken". Same with ymb. I disagree, but I thought it was generally best form to disagree with what people are *actually* saying.

I'm rapidly forming an impression that some members on here do this stuff in the evenings sober.

I admire your fortitude.

// I thought NJ was saying more or less the opposite of PP's quote, ie "Covid is always going to be out there [until a vaccine possibly] no matter what control measures are taken".//

no I think NJ was saying the opposite - not withstanding what we do - covid will always be out there and therefore do nothing . This is coupled with completely deranged views on computer modelling - to wit one run was wrong so ignore them all

I cannot say I apologise for 'misunderstanding; NJ
If he wishes to "resile" as we layers say from some of his madder views well - - let him!

we all support do we not readers free speech except when we disagree !
