Texas numbers continue to fall after reopening

Been a keen statistician, im sure that you are aware, most re-openings are going to appear safe at first. X amounts of cases with only x amount of hospitalisation and deaths. The problem is, as past data has shown, it is the younger people who are more socially active and the workers who tend to be younger and healthier(and more importantly more asymptomatic) who get it first.

Their data wont be a fair reflection of the whole position, and that will be the majority of the early data. It is what happens after the virus has spread through the age brackets (which it always does) which will define a safe opening. I dont think that that data is available for comparative countries yet.

I think the cautious approach is the correct one until we can be certain. not to mention the potential for a mutation that causes problem. slowly slowly as we jab away is best in my opinion.

"Type" 😊 sorry pal most average folk just want a timeline, I actually can't think of any other country that has one, I could be wrong? 100 per cent it is the best thing any leader can declare.

The UK government and media will continue with their wilful blindness to the evidence from Texas, Florida and elsewhere because it shows the ruinous lockdowns which they pushed so aggressively don't work.

Meanwhile false positives from PCR tests, such that even a piece of fruit such as an orange can return a positive test, continue to represent a significant proportion of "cases" helping to drive the irrational fear over this virus.

Have you tested an orange like?

Interesting tweet, all politicians lie, but some are clearly just more 'Trump-level' than others.

The latest available figures from Texas are 862 cases, the fifth worst in America, and three deaths. Overall if Texas were a country it would be the 19th worst hit in the world and at one time would have been 5th. It's figures for the level of restrictions it has had are incredibly good, but there are so many factors involved such as closing the borders properly, rurality, etc etc that it can hardly be held up as evidence we needn't have bothered.

As for it's evidence 'lockdowns don't work' - absolute cackbabble.

More possible evidence that locking down may not be the best option

Did you find that evidence comparing states that suggested lockdowns weren’t that effective?

Texas is not sufficient evidence that lockdowns “may not be” the best option.

People who present alternatives to lockdown almost never present a counterfactual scenario.

Since we know that social contact spreads the virus, lockdowns limit social contact, and NHS capacity was significantly stretched by the number of cases despite restrictions...how do you think we’d have coped without a lockdown?

If Abbot says something, expect the opposite to be true

Imagine your entire life leading to this moment mate. Telling lies on the internet for attention. Is the world of selling insurance from a call centre that dull?
