CV19 - Cure worse than the disease? (Vol 3)
Discussion
As a Poole resident myself and Coronavirus aside, I cannot understand why anyone would want to go to a horribly overcrowded beach anyway.
It's effing hot, there isn't much shade, everything is expensive and there are no toilets.
Top tip: go in the evening when it's cooled down and the crowds have gone. Much nicer.

In terms of maintaining immunity, it depends on the pathogen and how it interacts with the immune system. We don't need to be constantly exposed to chickenpox for example to remain immune.
You are, constantly exposed I mean. From the first time you get it. For life. It can flare up if you get weak, but you had it all along.This is going to be spun as the approaching end of the world...
We have gone from 1:2000 prevalence to 1:1000 on a weighted basis.....
In the real world, cases have risen from 11:22,523 to 14:24,256
However, for new infections, they have fallen from 10 to 8 in the two consecutive fortnightly periods.
I may have to self isolate from the media for a while...

The confidence bars for the last two time periods are overlapping, so statistically they should be considered as pretty much the same.We have gone from 1:2000 prevalence to 1:1000 on a weighted basis.....

Is it wrong to find this funny. I would like to know what constitutes a minor incident...
BREAKING: 'Major incident' declared as thousands flock to beaches
A major incident has been declared by Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council after thousands of people defied the advice to stay away and descended on its beaches on the hottest day of the year so far.
To be honest, the pictures on the TV per helicopter show a lot of people but they are mostly in their groups and semi distanced from each other. They aren't say having a mass public orgy exchanging bodily fluids.... It's a bit strange why the council felt the need to freak out and declare 'a major incident requiring emergency response'. Well perhaps with toilets closed that has caused a proper emergency given the number of people....that I could understand I suppose. BREAKING: 'Major incident' declared as thousands flock to beaches

Jeez.

Just seen on Facebook big brawl on Tynemouth beach near Newcastle. Agree with the others, I can't see the appeal. I would rather smear my balls with honey and stick them in a bees hive than hang around a bunch of chavs that can't hold their drink on an overcrowded beach.
Genuine lol

WHO claims it's worried of a resurgence based on increase CASES.
I guess they are ignoring the fact most countries have increased testing significantly. So I'd be wanting to see a weekly average of DEATHS based on a 1 or 2 week rolling average.
Even with an increase in testing I suspect most of those who are likely to die if infected have already died, so while infections may continue to rise I suspect deaths will stay around about where they are.
BBC comments section full of middle aged people bemoaning those at the beach. The littering, I can agree with them on. Simply being there - not so much.
They'd soon moan when their town dies a slow death over Summer - come winter time most of the smaller "seasonal" businesses, cafes, ice cream parlours and restaurants will be boarded up.
I still don't understand why they don't present the case numbers normalised against testing numbers. Then again I supose that doesn't give a great indication either as the criteria for testing has changed...I guess they are ignoring the fact most countries have increased testing significantly.
