I would say that they are telling up north.
The virus has taken over, now we see how lethal it is.
This coming winter is crucial (and maybe the next one too).
In all seriousness, the next few months will tell all. Hopefully by February, we will have a sense of whether the second half of 2021 will be any different to the second half of this year in terms of restrictions.
Iâm confident weâll be in a much better place after the winter. We definately will be in terms of knowledge. Whether our shitty health service holds us back is another story.

Youâd almost think there was a pandemic on.
Less than 1.5% of under 55s getting very sick and .03% extremely sick.
You would hope that we would be in a better place after a year of dealing with this. By right we should have been in a better place by now for living with this than we are.
998 positive swabs from 13988 tests in the past 24 hours.
7.13% positivity rate
Where you goin baby

Sit and cry.

What have you done to me.
Well I guess it doesnât matter anymore
The positive rate seems to be increasing exponentially if you track if for the past two months or so.
The big cod will be when there isnât a massive spike in deaths.

Hopefully the deaths stay low as thatâs how itâs been playing out in other countries so far.
It will probably be the new year though before the Government /NPHET would be confident enough in the data to relax restrictions while still having high cases.

Things will ease in February guys.
I have done my modelling on the Spanish flu and Iâm confident of being more knowledgeable than the scientific industry who by all accounts are just a bunch of spoofs.

They probably developed herd immunity much quicker back then. Ignorance was bliss kind of thing.

Youâd also expect that the potency of this virus should be way down on the Spanish Flu due to modern medical advances.
International travel in the 21st century probably meant that this virus was in the 4 corners of the world far quicker than it took the Spanish flu to travel.

The Spanish flu killed 50 million people (medium estimate) at a time when the worldâs population was about one quarter of what it is today. This is nothing like the Spanish flu

Iâm not on about it in terms of potency, merely in terms of its lifespan. I expect we will be over the worst of it by Feb 2021 and then it will fizzle out over the next year with things gradually beginning to return to normal in 2022.

Have people gone a bit fucking crazy wanting to go back into lockdown? And not just for a couple of weeks but for as long as it takes, what ever that is.
