Coronavirus outbreak

[Deleted User]

If you are careful and follow current guidance you will reduce your risk of catching the virus from someone else but you will not reduce your risk to zero.

Didn't say you would, people seem to think come Monday all hell will break loose and we'll be dropping like flies, I'm simply pointing out that if you carry on doing what you already do then the risk isn't going to increase for you that much.

If you are careful you won’t get ill…..so are you saying when my wife got breast cancer, she wasn’t being careful? (She has none of the risk factors)

Look up hospitals in Sunderland…..

We're talking about the increased risk of catching Covid from Monday due to restrictions being eased, what's that got to do with getting Cancer?

My lad was involved in a Motorcycle accident recently but I don't mention that in a Covid thread.

I'm sure certain situations will be but avoid them, can't see the panic myself.

Certain venues will be opening which no-one is being forced to go to, instead of walking into a pub with a mask on and immediately taking if off you no longer have to wear one so not really protecting people that much in my opinion.

If you're worried sit outside?

If your workplace is forcing you to be at risk from Monday then I can understand the concern but I would be surprised if there's many cases of that amongst the posters on here.

Well, the statistics in about a month will let us know one way or another. Is William Hill giving odds?

You have to admit you seem to be quite extreme case from what I've read of your posts.

Born with epilepsy, treatment for that has to come first.
Over the last two years, if I manage to get through a week with only five fits/seizures/episodes/call them what you want a week*, it's a good week in my book.

…but you did which is why I responded as i did.

Well if you're careful you won't get ill will you?

You know people like facts on here 😉

I'm sure the infection rate will go up as people mingle more but it's those people's right to choose to mingle, football grounds will be opening soon and I'll be going but if I was afraid of getting ill I wouldn't go.

There you go then, extreme.

There you go then, extreme.

Not in the least. Normal, everyday life.
I know plenty who are worse off than me.

I think the problem is that the minglers inevitably come across non-minglers and may pass on the infection.

I responded to your statement of the risk being Zero, I didn't say you can reduce it to zero.

What do you see will directly put you in more danger from Monday then?

I would imagine other people not wearing a mask in a place where you're forced to go is the only situation at a guess?

I’m just quoting back what you said


People behaving irresponsibility, spreading Covid, block hospitals beds and wards. People need those beds through not fault of their own because they get sick. Freedom day will cause more delays to essential services and essential operations. Sick people will suffer because others are irresponsible.

You know full well I was referring to getting I'll with Covid but you chose to drop Cancer in for the shock factor.

How about all those beds taken up by people who have had accidents at work, on the roads or due to extreme sports, are they being irresponsible and depriving your missus of a bed?

The more people mingle, the more the mangled minglers will take up NHS time, space and energy, leaving fewer resources for all others.

I'm unlucky then?

I tried to demonstrate that one persons normal is different to another persons normal. Makes defining "normal" hard though.
