Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
How many cases were false positives
How many were duplicated repeat tests taken by the same person needing a negative test to go back to work ???????
Cheshire East the council ranked second in England for over counted cases.
Don’t blame the lockdown. Blame the people who continue to flaunt the rules.
They are the people who have put us back in lockdown and no doubt, will have caused this lockdown to be extended and tightened.
To save the effort Spain and Peru.
It is generally advisable to take the time (and we have had plenty) to research a subject prior to commenting.
I can explain to you but I can't understand for you.
I wait for these people to post their scientific qualifications and professional credentials on here to demonstrate to us that they are speaking from knowledge, are in a position to peer-review and dispute the accepted science, and are therefore not endangering the lives of everyone else by going against the peer-accepted science and extolling dangerous, ignorant, tin-foil-hat drivel. I somehow think it will be a long wait.
There is room for argument about the balance between lockdown-induced damage and covid-induced deaths, but there is NO argument that in these dangerous times hand-face-space saves lives.
Heavy going but quite clear about the validity of PCR test. And therefore “cases”.
As a (retired) nurse, I always said folk didn't wash their hands enough. I didn't imagine it would take a pandemic to ram the reality home. If folks can't see it, they love to swear blind it doesn't exist. 'Nah' you hear them scoff 'believe it only when I see it wif me own eyes'....
I am persuaded by Dr John Campbell (Google) that the updated advice should be Hands - Face - Space - Ventilate - VitD (Zinc)
And how do you know people are not wearing masks, if your lock-downed in your house?
Toxic debate with no winner. Bluster and pontificate all you want. It makes zero difference but I certainly find the comments comical.
Back in march, the debate and differing arguments were mildly interesting.... 6 months on.... not so much. Yawn.
