Go into lockdown, infections decrease, then what? because the virus will still be around, you cant kill a virus.
Similar infection rates but lower death rates than us and they are going into full lockdown. We're not. It will be interesting to see how the two countries fair in the next few weeks.
In Germany it's the death figures that are causing most alarm, record numbers (though no signs of exponential growth) and plateaued at a comparatively high level. Once infections decrease then deaths will too. And by then the vaccine (plot twist to give Brexiters wet dreams, it's been held up by EU red tape in Germany despite being invented in the country) will be ready.Go into lockdown, infections decrease, then what? because the virus will still be around, you cant kill a virus.
'Cos they don't a**e about when they lockdown?How the heck have China managed to move on from this so easily?.

Australia and New Zealand appear to be doing ok too (based on friends/family out there).
If only we were an island with the ability to restrict entry and impose mandatory hotel quarantine on arrivals... it could have been so different.
One of those islands has rather a lot of space and better weather, the others have far fewer people.... and better weather!
Australia has 7 people per sq mile.
NZ is 46 per sq mile.
England 1010 per sq mile.
Human contact spreads it.
I`m all for us closing the borders hard, if you are in you are in, if you are out.... tough luck........ to late though.
Surely the question is what has gone wrong for Germany, rather than a baseline comparison of deaths measured in a different way?
Germany done really well in the first wave, implemented a lighter lockdown and now are in reverse looking at a pre-Christmas hard lockdown?
Population -
Germany 83 million
UK 66 milion

Because, if youve been "researching" very similar viruses in your big lab, doing a bit of tinkering, not being too careful about sanitising yourself, you have a much better idea of what youre dealing with when it goes to s**t. Plus lots of lying of course.I was referring to its impact on pretty much the rest of the world rather than just the UK. Many countries have been lauded for theIt swift responses (I.e Germany) yet their situation is still on a knife edge.
The minute we seem get on top of this virus and ease out of lockdown it flares right back up.... But China, nope... just going about their normal business now.
How do you know that?you think the Chinese tell the truth?How the heck have China managed to move on from this so easily?.

How would cancelling the Beano help? Its not like Dennis the Menace is a super spreader?The government are shooting themselves in the foot by not cancelling the five Xmas Beano. Things will get worse as a result and allowing that to happen 75k will be dead by New Year’s Eve.!
