The thing with Covid is people are claiming this and that but the true fact is no one knows not even the experts. Whether Covid will continue to be a threat to life or whether it will die out itself again no one really knows and only time and studying it will tell. Hopefully the health of the general public and life can get back to normality as soon as possible. Fed of hearing people speak as if they know it all when even now little is still known as to how long it will last. As it’s an unknown and unprecedented in anyone’s lifetime.
One thing that does puzzle me is the fear of people to go back to work, kids to go back to school, shops to reopen etc yet on the flip side you see so many out on the beaches, parks etc with little social distancing. So what’s the difference?
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

100% agree, "the only knowns are the unknowns, even then, we're not sure, but, perhaps, at a guess, reality will unveil itself, and the minority in complete knowledge of entirity can educate us all"? The meek shall inherit the world, buy shares in the meek!

Probably just the people. I’m not going to immediately change my behaviour when the rules are relaxed. I’m lucky to have that choice. Others will be less cautious or have no option to be as cautious. As you say, nobody fully knows or understands the risks, so people’s judgements will reflect their personalities, needs and preferences in the absence of clear and unambiguous facts.

No, you miss the point, I'm a pensioner, at 44!, I should be being positive and thick, incapable of reasoned thought. I, along with all others, should be following the advice of a discredited halfwhit on Twitter. By no means should I, or anyone else, listen to the chair of the Wellcome Trust and his peers, a bloke on T'tinernet knows we should be having mass gatherings, I mean, he'll be first to sign an indemnity statement that says "if I get it, leave me to my own devices"....

Like i said his predictions have been very accurate, hes not spoon feedin people fear and negativity which is what a few on here seem full of.
Maybe go sit in the garden catch some rays Think positive thoughts, the worlds not always doom and gloom
Can’t you ask your Guru expert chap the results for Newcastle on Monday, as another pensioner, who’s wearily watering his rhododendrons waits for divine guidance.
