They might not given that the majority of people are now very wary. If we went back to pre-lockdown behaviour they certainly would.

The main reason we dont have the infections, the deaths, and a lock down now, is because we had a lockdown, the reason why its generally been kept in chack is from mask wearing, handwashing and social distancing. The reason its going up is people not wearing masks, not social distancing, meeting in large groups and the masses going out, congregating. Until there is a vaccine thats the main issues.

I wouldn't know, I'm not a conspiracy theorist. It also doesn't take much thinking to knee jerkedly label anyone who disagrees with aspects of the covid measures a conspiracy theorist. Just another form of ad hominem attack, and we know what that implies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until there is a vaccine thats the main issues. Just infections going up, deaths are low. Possibly one reason more people are congregating is that they are aware that deaths are very low?

Nothing like in March / April.............remember we were only really testing hospital admissions then - we're testing a far greater proportion of the population these days - not enough - but far greater so it appears the number of infections is similar.

butlers Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 You do know it's not the sniffles ,I take it? Last I saw up to 20 percent with Covid had to have a hospital visit,and plenty who are admitted have permanent lung damage for rest of thier life,at enormous cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coronavirus mainly kills the vulnerable, who made up the majority of fatalities during the first wave, so there are now less people who are vulnerable, therefore less deaths. Maybe also the virus is mutating to something less serious, that does happen with viruses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
