5km travel limit reimposed.

thats needs to be 1km

[TreatyStones]

Testing is under severe pressure too. Close contacts being told they won’t be tested unless they display symptoms and to just restrict movements for 14 days.

Definitely.

What date are shops likely to go though? Hoolahan probably like the rest of us and doesn’t know what day of the week it is over Christmas and he’ll give us the wrong date

As any lay person with a jot of common sense and reasonable intellect could appreciate, allowing the virus free reign would strengthen it via mutations.

My understanding is that most viruses eventually mutate their way into non-existance or into such a harmless virus that they no longer pose a threat. It’s very rare that a virus is beaten by a vaccine. The vast majority either go by people naturally building immunity or by mutation into a harmless variant (like SARS).

Your understanding? Where did you read that?

[Batigol]

What’s that got to do with anything? I read it on the back of a packet of Corn Flakes

[carryharry]

Cos you talk a lot of bollocks on COVID related matters.

[Batigol]

A virus ideally needs its host to survive. Viruses that go killing their host too quickly dont thrive, so mutations that favour the host living longer and spreading the virus generally outlast ones that make a virus more lethal.

Not claiming that’s what is or will happen with COVID

[The_Most_Infamous]

Decent watch below in regards to how Covid deaths have been counted in the US and how the PCR tests tend to throw up false positives.

Only 11 minutes, worth a look in my view.

“eventually”

Utter ignorance. Do you think a pallid adverb can hide this truth?

Ye really are shameless.

[carryharry]

So why are restrictions important??

[Batigol]

I didn’t mention restrictions.

[iron_mike]

@carryharry

So why are restrictions important??

Gives you an excuse not to go to a match

[carryharry]

You have claimed that virus don’t kill the host, they need to move etc.

Why in that case are restrictions important?

[carryharry]

Try harder, Mike.

Maybe a photo of a can sat on a table in front of your tv in your sitting room?

[Batigol]

@carryharry

You have claimed that virus don’t kill the host

No I didn’t. I said a virus doesn’t want to kill its host as that usually means death for the virus too
