Coronavirus outbreak

[Deleted User]

I demand to be free to swing a baseball bat at head height, even in crowded areas. I don't see why other people are avoiding us just because of this, I haven't been hit by a baseball bat, those 140,000 people who have been hit and killed must have had pre-existing conditions. And now that almost 50% of people have two baseball-bat-resistant hats on it's even less of an issue, despite the rate of baseball-bat/head collisions accelerating rapidly.

We simply have to learn to live with baseball bats being swung at heads, including those who have no option but to enter areas full of people swinging baseball bats. You can't live in fear of being hit by a baseball bat, what kind of life is that at a*SMASH*

Is my analogy a bit heavy-handed? Good.

You don't go out and work from home, what you worrying about?

It is if the person has the virus, they then expel it into the air or onto a surface, you then come along and either breathe it in through your own mask or touch that surface then your face, this obviously along with you having both jabs.

I can see why everyone is so scared!

Not sure if serious ?

The effectiveness of 2 jabs is down to 64% in Israel and is likely to drop further.

You do realise the virus can easily penetrate a mask ?
The mask REDUCES the amount of virus that the wearer expels into the air.

You could swing your bat around in pubs for a while just not when you go for a pee.

Good job we're not in Israel then!

I understand the mask thing but surely with what we know about hygiene and most having 2 jabs it's possible to go around without being frightened of every non mask wearing person you come across?

You do what you like for me , I'm happy with the lifting of restrictions.

64.3% to 5 July:

https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/

Edit: some quick and dirty maths indicates that this is rising by around 2% per week so by 19 July we should be at c68% as the UK total.

I wonder at what percentage we will top out?

Isn't that % of the adult population ????

The delta variant is that it circulates in the younger population .

I went to pub the other day on a bike ride, the cafe we planned to visit was closed. We were met at a desk outside and allocated some outside seating, served at the table by someone wearing a mask and were seated far away from the few others there. As soon as we looked at the menu it was taken away for sanitizing. I said to my friend seems fairly safe here - he said it's all or nothing in terms of thousands in the football grounds.

That's adults.

The entire population is capable of transmission.

Not high enough, as there seems to be no plan to vaccinate u18s, unlike almost every other developed country.

I think that you are right.

The point is that the greater percentage of the adult population are as fully protected as they can be with the current vaccines that we have.

I think the point was how protected people are from the unvaccinated spreading it around. The answer to which is "not so much as most people think" as only half the population is fully vaccinated.

But it's quite likely I misinterpreted.

Agreed re adults.

Does it matter if the whole population can transmit the virus - that's a given surely.

What matters is protection levels and how many succumb which is currently very low despite increased number of cases.
