"Hear me out! So we're currently in lock down, timescale unknown, and in the main we're conforming to social distancing. A lot of anxiety because we're sociable animals, worried about food and roof over our heads. We may have several rounds of lock down before we can relax, but I suspect the rise in unemployment and not being able to plan ahead will lead to civil unrest. We already see key workers being attacked, and my fear is riots. You ask where does the rain come in? Very simple, you don't get riots in the rain. " I also predict civil unrest I'm guessing it wont be long before " fuck it let it loose" is the average response Sadly my prediction (hunch based upon oak trees) It's going to be hot and dry People go crazy when A. they are restricted B. It gets hot C .no one agrees D. they are horny E. They are frightened Oh fucking shit And regardless of any method used to deal with cov-sars2 it's a 12 month minimum period of restrictions | |||

"California couldn't hack it. It's hot, its drug deprived population can't get a joint or a fix. They'd rather die of a desease and spread it to others. At least they'll go on high. A modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. Freedom of choice I suppose. " California will see a major rise in new case 7 to 14 days Then people will listen Think the government has been fair next step would be the army out | |||

"I said right at the start of this if lockdown goes on for very long extended period there would be civil unrest. " Oh if only people knew the real story about lockdown. May be different here than the mainland but 6 weeks won't be the end of it | |||

"Already got some parts of the media starting if only slightly to rail against the lockdown, do not underestimate the power of the Daily Mail, will cause trouble if they manage to get it into peoples heads that its unjust and they are being "imprisoned"." But lockdown here has been pretty slack compared to other countries? There's no checkpoints here, no postcode shopping windows, no daily curfews etc | |||

"Why has no-one mentioned a crap Tory government as being the main ingredient in the recipe for civil unrest yet? They certainly need to go. When old societies are dying new ones are formed by those who are not afraid to be insecure. " Didn’t take long. Personally I’d blame the amount of leftie’s ranting and blowing hot air, not the government. | |||

There's no checkpoints here, no postcode shopping windows, no daily curfews etc " You dont think that would reduce the time we are in lock down do you ? Surely you dont think it could have been be erased from the UK (no hidden cases) and we would not have to lock down afterwards? A tighter lockdown would only reduce icu cases As it seems we have capacity the sooner we can become immune the better More severe lock down means more vulnerable after the first and the more subsequent ones required | |||

" Exactly. That’s why I roll my eyes every time I read another rant about how the government didn’t act soon enough, if they had, the same people moaning about them not acting soon enough would have been moaning about it being too soon. | |||

"Graphs are starting to show a downturn and yet people are still calling for tighter lockdowns? George Orwell must be turning in his grave. " The number of new cases per day isn't going down. That's what you nees to be looking at, not the death rate. The high number of new cases are potential deaths in 2-3 weeks time. As this lockdown is to protect the NHS and not stop the virus, then this means that the current lockdown isn't tight enough as new cases are still rising or if you like, not going down quick enough. You've only got to look at countries with a strict lockdown from day 1 like Cyprus to see that the proof is in the pudding. | |||

It's nice that we've been able to retain a few basic freedoms that other countries haven't. A tighter lockdown would have the potential to cause greater social problems. As it stands the vast majority have obeyed the regulations very closely. The minority that have not are not a large enough demographic to negatively affect the downward trend expected. In my opion, there's no evidence that a stricter lockdown would be more effective. | |||

"Agree. Serious risk of riots the way this is going. Massive anti-police sentiment boiling under the surface, high street full of stock and nobody guarding it, boredom, people losing income, it's a recipe for disaster.

The infected numbers aren't going down at all? Yesterday's deaths dropped by approx 300 but they admitted on their daily briefing that was because not all data had come forward as it was the weekend? | |||

I watch it closely as I need a plan of how long my business will be closed lol They look at daily new cases as that is an indicator of how well the lock down is working. If the new cases go down, then people are staying in and not passing the virus on. They look at the new cases, as these are the potential ICU cases that they need to plan for. Remember that this lock down isn't to stop the virus, it's to stop the NHS getting to breaking point with too many critical cases. So the more new cases we have, the more chance we have of the NHS struggling. They know that those admitted to hospital are those who need additional support and those who lose their battle will do so within 2 weeks. So the new cases reported is a good forecast of how stretched our services will be in the future. So it's the new cases that we need to get down and this will have a knock on effect on the death rate. | |||

Case numbers mean nothing, we wouldn't have a 13% death rate if we had identified anything like the real case numbers. Case numbers are going up because we're testing more.

We already see key workers being attacked, and my fear is riots. You ask where does the rain come in? Very simple, you don't get riots in the rain. 1981 was a very wet summer and there were plenty of riots! " There certainly were!! I lived through the Toxteth Riots in Liverpool in that very year! I'll never forget that the bright orange sky at night due to the raging fires. | |||

"Lockdown is the most blunt instrument there is to deal with a pandemic. Due to a lack of preparation, however, it is all we have at present. It only buys us time, it does not cure or solve a thing. It just kicks the can down the road. During the bought time, any decent government would have our economy fully focused on producing tests. Millions of them. Every factory dedicated to it. Not sure that is happening, but it should be. Once we have sufficient tests, we ease the lockdown. We then test everyone. Every day. Those testing positive go home and isolate. Those who do not carry on with their normal lives. When/if a vaccine turns up, we move towards that as well as testing. That’s the way out. " This.. Were being asked to swallow the jingoistic language about being at war with all the elements one might associate with that.. But the reality is something far different.. | |||

"Graphs are starting to show a downturn and yet people are still calling for tighter lockdowns? George Orwell must be turning in his grave. The number of new cases per day isn't going down. That's what you nees to be looking at, not the death rate. The high number of new cases are potential deaths in 2-3 weeks time. As this lockdown is to protect the NHS and not stop the virus, then this means that the current lockdown isn't tight enough as new cases are still rising or if you like, not going down quick enough. You've only got to look at countries with a strict lockdown from day 1 like Cyprus to see that the proof is in the pudding. The case numbers are meaningless since we don't test enough people. We have a 13% fatality rate compared to 3% in Germany, the only difference being they tested more people. Italy had a tighter lockdown than us and it didn't get them anywhere. Lockdown is just one tool in the box and not even a good one. We know that the daily cases are higher than reported but the government are looking at the new cases as a measure of how well lock down is working. So if these reported new cases are still going up, then the lockdown isn't working as effitively as they hoped it would I thought they would be looking at the death toll, those are the trends I've seen attention focussed on but I can't say I watch everything. The actual death rate of coronavirus is closer to 0.6% so they will just find more cases, the more they test. I watch it closely as I need a plan of how long my business will be closed lol They look at daily new cases as that is an indicator of how well the lock down is working. If the new cases go down, then people are staying in and not passing the virus on. They look at the new cases, as these are the potential ICU cases that they need to plan for. Remember that this lock down isn't to stop the virus, it's to stop the NHS getting to breaking point with too many critical cases. So the more new cases we have, the more chance we have of the NHS struggling. They know that those admitted to hospital are those who need additional support and those who lose their battle will do so within 2 weeks. So the new cases reported is a good forecast of how stretched our services will be in the future. So it's the new cases that we need to get down and this will have a knock on effect on the death rate. Well the good news would be that Italy and Spain are clearly over their peak now. We're probably over ours. Second waves are a theory and not a fact. There's no second wave in China yet. America is getting back to work and the government will soon realise that if American companies keep working and British ones don't, there won't be much of an economy left to ever open up. There is of course bad news out there too. By the way, we're you ever on a channel 4 show about prejudice? If there is no second wave after a lockdown we have not been told the truth The virus spread amongst 65 million people in the UK from a mere handful of infected After a lockdown 63 million will still not have had it More than a handful will still have it Go compute ! " Nice confirmation bias. How many people do you know in China by the way? | |||

"For so long the government have cut funding to the NHS and other essential areas like Mental Health etc. Without being disrespectful to anyone but the millennial generation doesn’t have the ability to hack it like the older generation did during the war. Now wether you agree or not a lot of Europe are lifting restrictions and I think that if they don’t go to extend this Lockdown again in May that will be the match to light the powder keg. Not everywhere had to close. Restaurants could have stayed open if they could offer a Takeaway facility so places like Maccies could have if they wanted to stayed open and just did Drive Through. It does sound daft but small things like that mean a lot to people and it would given a sense of normality for people to cope " Not my food of choice but Look at the queues on McDonald's on their last day. And then an April Fool that they were opening again. Maybe it isn't economically viable for them to do just drive through? There's an Indian a few miles from me doing van deliveries with a very limited menu. I was told order by 3.00 for 8.30 delivery! There's now going to be a traffic lights scheme to come out of lockdown. Hopefully more of this will come back. I agree with you that it'll make a difference to the way things are. | |||

"Already got some parts of the media starting if only slightly to rail against the lockdown, do not underestimate the power of the Daily Mail, will cause trouble if they manage to get it into peoples heads that its unjust and they are being "imprisoned". But lockdown here has been pretty slack compared to other countries? There's no checkpoints here, no postcode shopping windows, no daily curfews etc " In Spain you get find €3000, for going out on a non essential journey. France you have to fill out a form everytime you venture, more than 1k from your property. There is an increase of fines, up to €4000, a tag, and possibly a stay in prison. In my opinion, things were handled awfully as usual for this country. | |||

" In my opinion, things were handled awfully as usual for this country. " They have - the incompetence and arrogance of the Johnson government helps to create the fuel for civil unrest. Those becoming frustrated, bored and hungry see a shambolic approach to tackling this virus. They will begin to believe it makes no difference if you start going out next week or next year. Months into this pandemic and we have an administration that can't find a way to buy and distribute face masks. Those inclined to rebel have been given no reason to do otherwise. | |||

" In your head it's either that they report a second wave to confirm your theory or they have a second wave but lie about it. There's no scenario where there just isn't a second wave. The answer to all your other questions is "because it's more complicated than that". For example, "Why vulnerable are not still vulnerable" - because they are dead or immune would be part of that answer. China is in partial lockdown depending on the province. Harbin has a small outbreak at the moment. But Harbin is nowhere near Hubei, which is not particularly close to Guangzhou where the oldest cases have been found. | |||

We have a 13% fatality rate compared to 3% in Germany, the only difference being they tested more people. Italy had a tighter lockdown than us and it didn't get them anywhere. Lockdown is just one tool in the box and not even a good one. We know that the daily cases are higher than reported but the government are looking at the new cases as a measure of how well lock down is working. So if these reported new cases are still going up, then the lockdown isn't working as effitively as they hoped it would I thought they would be looking at the death toll, those are the trends I've seen attention focussed on but I can't say I watch everything. The actual death rate of coronavirus is closer to 0.6% so they will just find more cases, the more they test. I watch it closely as I need a plan of how long my business will be closed lol They look at daily new cases as that is an indicator of how well the lock down is working. If the new cases go down, then people are staying in and not passing the virus on. They look at the new cases, as these are the potential ICU cases that they need to plan for. Remember that this lock down isn't to stop the virus, it's to stop the NHS getting to breaking point with too many critical cases. So the more new cases we have, the more chance we have of the NHS struggling. They know that those admitted to hospital are those who need additional support and those who lose their battle will do so within 2 weeks. So the new cases reported is a good forecast of how stretched our services will be in the future. So it's the new cases that we need to get down and this will have a knock on effect on the death rate. Well the good news would be that Italy and Spain are clearly over their peak now. We're probably over ours. Second waves are a theory and not a fact. There's no second wave in China yet. America is getting back to work and the government will soon realise that if American companies keep working and British ones don't, there won't be much of an economy left to ever open up. There is of course bad news out there too. By the way, we're you ever on a channel 4 show about prejudice? If there is no second wave after a lockdown we have not been told the truth The virus spread amongst 65 million people in the UK from a mere handful of infected After a lockdown 63 million will still not have had it More than a handful will still have it Go compute ! Nice confirmation bias. How many people do you know in China by the way? No confirmation bias I've not heard or read that anywhere Iv only given an either or Either out of lockdown we have the same susceptibility as before or I have zero idea why we would not China is only just out of full lock down do I understand they are still on partial ? If my maths serves me right it takes a couple of months from a small reservoir unrestricted to spread into the unprotected Thus dont expect data from China until A. All restrictions lifted B. A month 2 after Again no confirmation bias if you can articulate why if only 1 million out of 65 plus have potential immunity And restrictions are lifted Why vulnerable are not still vulnerable And the virus would not repeat what it has done Please bear in mind I say after lifting restrictions Keeping restrictions will indeed keep it manageable So please illustrate IF the virus is not eradicated why if restrictions are lifted it will not do as currently demonstrated? Restrictions and lockdown are fairly useless tools really - they only buy time and solve nothing. We need testing. Imo Testing for antibodies Excellent will lead to two tier society though and will need selective isolation Testing for virus A perpetual nightmare that will also need isolation alongside So currently we have A rock , fucking hard place, a cliff edge , a precipice Yey "Not that much of a nightmare and better than any other option. Drive to work, get a swab done, results given immediately (not beyond the whit of man), carry on. People have to isolate for all kinds of reasons in ‘normal’ circumstances. If you have the flu, you effectively isolate. This becomes another reason to isolate, another disease on the list. | |||

"I said right at the start of this if lockdown goes on for very long extended period there would be civil unrest. Oh if only people knew the real story about lockdown. May be different here than the mainland but 6 weeks won't be the end of it What’s the real story? Pm'ed you" Is it a secret you can't tell us all? I'd like to know too. | |||

In your head it's either that they report a second wave to confirm your theory or they have a second wave but lie about it. There's no scenario where there just isn't a second wave. The answer to all your other questions is "because it's more complicated than that". For example, "Why vulnerable are not still vulnerable" - because they are dead or immune would be part of that answer. China is in partial lockdown depending on the province. Harbin has a small outbreak at the moment. But Harbin is nowhere near Hubei, which is not particularly close to Guangzhou where the oldest cases have been found." Oh no you miss read me I'm certain not saying China is lieing I'm saying either I'm mis informed about how the virus spreads or in time . I dont think China is in a position where a quick second wave is going to occur they are still following restrictions 
Erm
Apparently we are on a lockdown because there are a lot of undead in infected vulnerables ????
Thus you make no sense
They will still exist as erm vulnerable???
So again out we pop
No social distancing no restrictions lots of sex
As long as a couple of people in the UK have it it will come back
Please, pretty please prove me wrong ??
However there is no world evidence as that situation has not yet occured | |||

"Why has no-one mentioned a crap Tory government as being the main ingredient in the recipe for civil unrest yet? They certainly need to go. When old societies are dying new ones are formed by those who are not afraid to be insecure. Didn’t take long. Personally I’d blame the amount of leftie’s ranting and blowing hot air, not the government." Ooooooo yeah them terrible lefties let’s blame them again ... load of crap | |||

Depends what you believe about reinfecton rates"Not really It may depend on what you believe is the correct infection figure The world is full of billions As of today its suggested only 2.5 million The UK a reported 100 000 cases over 65 million population Even if you gross these up by a factor of 10 we are only about 1 percent UK or world population Thus the reinfection point is subdued some what if most of the world allegedly has not had it ? The potential for the re infection only exacerbates the case for further waves with social restrictions lifted | |||

America is getting back to work and the government will soon realise that if American companies keep working and British ones don't, there won't be much of an economy left to ever open up. There is of course bad news out there too. By the way, we're you ever on a channel 4 show about prejudice? If there is no second wave after a lockdown we have not been told the truth The virus spread amongst 65 million people in the UK from a mere handful of infected After a lockdown 63 million will still not have had it More than a handful will still have it Go compute ! Nice confirmation bias. How many people do you know in China by the way? No confirmation bias I've not heard or read that anywhere Iv only given an either or Either out of lockdown we have the same susceptibility as before or I have zero idea why we would not China is only just out of full lock down do I understand they are still on partial ? If my maths serves me right it takes a couple of months from a small reservoir unrestricted to spread into the unprotected Thus dont expect data from China until A. All restrictions lifted B. A month 2 after Again no confirmation bias if you can articulate why if only 1 million out of 65 plus have potential immunity And restrictions are lifted Why vulnerable are not still vulnerable And the virus would not repeat what it has done Please bear in mind I say after lifting restrictions Keeping restrictions will indeed keep it manageable So please illustrate IF the virus is not eradicated why if restrictions are lifted it will not do as currently demonstrated? In your head it's either that they report a second wave to confirm your theory or they have a second wave but lie about it. There's no scenario where there just isn't a second wave. The answer to all your other questions is "because it's more complicated than that". For example, "Why vulnerable are not still vulnerable" - because they are dead or immune would be part of that answer. China is in partial lockdown depending on the province. Harbin has a small outbreak at the moment. But Harbin is nowhere near Hubei, which is not particularly close to Guangzhou where the oldest cases have been found. Oh no you miss read me I'm certain not saying China is lieing I'm saying either I'm mis informed about how the virus spreads or in time . I dont think China is in a position where a quick second wave is going to occur they are still following restrictions
Erm
Apparently we are on a lockdown because there are a lot of undead in infected vulnerables ????
Thus you make no sense
They will still exist as erm vulnerable???
So again out we pop
No social distancing no restrictions lots of sex
As long as a couple of people in the UK have it it will come back
Please, pretty please prove me wrong ??
However there is no world evidence as that situation has not yet occured
Depends what you believe about reinfecton rates"I’m sure reinfection is possible, as with other Coronaviruses. But humans evolved to deal with those and we will with this one. That evolution will take time though so we need to test test test in the meantime. We cannot continue to lockdown, it will damage us more than it helps us in the end. We need to buy time to develop millions of tests and then go from there. Test and isolate until this becomes a disease we live with. | |||

"Graphs are starting to show a downturn and yet people are still calling for tighter lockdowns? George Orwell must be turning in his grave. The number of new cases per day isn't going down. That's what you nees to be looking at, not the death rate. The high number of new cases are potential deaths in 2-3 weeks time. As this lockdown is to protect the NHS and not stop the virus, then this means that the current lockdown isn't tight enough as new cases are still rising or if you like, not going down quick enough. You've only got to look at countries with a strict lockdown from day 1 like Cyprus to see that the proof is in the pudding. The case numbers are meaningless since we don't test enough people. We have a 13% fatality rate compared to 3% in Germany, the only difference being they tested more people. Italy had a tighter lockdown than us and it didn't get them anywhere. Lockdown is just one tool in the box and not even a good one. We know that the daily cases are higher than reported but the government are looking at the new cases as a measure of how well lock down is working. So if these reported new cases are still going up, then the lockdown isn't working as effitively as they hoped it would I thought they would be looking at the death toll, those are the trends I've seen attention focussed on but I can't say I watch everything. The actual death rate of coronavirus is closer to 0.6% so they will just find more cases, the more they test. I watch it closely as I need a plan of how long my business will be closed lol They look at daily new cases as that is an indicator of how well the lock down is working. If the new cases go down, then people are staying in and not passing the virus on. They look at the new cases, as these are the potential ICU cases that they need to plan for. Remember that this lock down isn't to stop the virus, it's to stop the NHS getting to breaking point with too many critical cases. So the more new cases we have, the more chance we have of the NHS struggling. They know that those admitted to hospital are those who need additional support and those who lose their battle will do so within 2 weeks. So the new cases reported is a good forecast of how stretched our services will be in the future. So it's the new cases that we need to get down and this will have a knock on effect on the death rate. Well the good news would be that Italy and Spain are clearly over their peak now.

The potential for the re infection only exacerbates the case for further waves with social restrictions lifted Let's look at the facts A bat infects 5 humans They mingle freely After 2 ish months 1 million worldwide become infected A lockdown of various intensities Slows rate we now have a reported 2.5 million I guess world wide there will be in existence more than 6 un known cases At any point restrictions are lifted it will grow again slow but exponentially To avoid this restrictions required or vaccine So please illustrate why a second wave is not inevitable if the facts are as disclosed about how the virus works and the minority who have been affected | |||

The world is full of billions
As of today its suggested only 2.5 million
The UK a reported 100 000 cases over 65 million population
Even if you gross these up by a factor of 10 we are only about 1 percent UK or world population

An very large chunk of the world are asymptomatic to it because of their genetics. Then we are adding some people who are immune because they've already had it. The dead don't die twice. These are all reasons the rate of infection slows.
I did gross up by 10
Ate you trying to suggest a larger factor ??
UK says
100 000
I suggest 1000 000 just over 1 percent
You're suggesting?
Oh and let's not forget most of our vulnerable have been locked up so still ready and waiting
"There are cases where there were outbreaks at sea which is extremely difficult to contain. In all cases, more than half the people on board tested negative. Is that because they didn't get infected or couldn't get infected, we don't know yet. We don't know what impact the weather will have on coronavirus, many diseases are seasonal. It's also possible that the virus burns itself out. A virus is a living thing that mutates. However, the more deadly the mutation, the quicker the host dies and so the quicker the virus has to spread to exist. Once you have over a month of R1 then that could cull the worst strains of coronavirus. As I said before, it's complicated. | |||

"For so long the government have cut funding to the NHS and other essential areas like Mental Health etc. Without being disrespectful to anyone but the millennial generation doesn’t have the ability to hack it like the older generation did during the war. Now wether you agree or not a lot of Europe are lifting restrictions and I think that if they don’t go to extend this Lockdown again in May that will be the match to light the powder keg. Not everywhere had to close. Restaurants could have stayed open if they could offer a Takeaway facility so places like Maccies could have if they wanted to stayed open and just did Drive Through. It does sound daft but small things like that mean a lot to people and it would given a sense of normality for people to cope Not my food of choice but Look at the queues on McDonald's on their last day. And then an April Fool that they were opening again. Maybe it isn't economically viable for them to do just drive through? There's an Indian a few miles from me doing van deliveries with a very limited menu. I was told order by 3.00 for 8.30 delivery! There's now going to be a traffic lights scheme to come out of lockdown. Hopefully more of this will come back. I agree with you that it'll make a difference to the way things are. That traffic light graphic came from a rag of a newspaper, wasn't confirmed by. Government at all " Yes. It said they were discussing/considering it. There's got to be something similar to come out of lockdown. | |||

" No not a secret at all, but wasnt 100% sure of it was true so didn't want to post a Chinese whisper. Lockdown was initially set for 8 to 12 weeks to help the nhs cope with the influx of infected. But was only announced in 3 week blocks to stop people panicking. | |||

"I've said a few times that I wish this had happened over winter. People would have been far more compliant when it was freezing outside. " Get what you're saying. Feel like stopping in bed in the winter anyway. Even though I'm carrying on working f/t. So not much different for me. Remember there we lots of problems with floods this winter too. And to have this at the same time?! | |||

"Hear me out! So we're currently in lock down, timescale unknown, and in the main we're conforming to social distancing. A lot of anxiety because we're sociable animals, worried about food and roof over our heads. We may have several rounds of lock down before we can relax, but I suspect the rise in unemployment and not being able to plan ahead will lead to civil unrest. We already see key workers being attacked, and my fear is riots. You ask where does the rain come in? Very simple, you don't get riots in the rain. " Been saying this since the lockdown started also with the way the police are acting and lobbying to keep these powers after lockdown is lifted you may see more then civil unrest. The riots of 2011 would look like childs play compared to what may happen now If people actually see our civil liabilities are at stake and the mass unemployment time bomb explodes. I really hope there a smart diplomatic way of dealing we this but with this Government in charge nothing surprises me anymore. | |||

Lots of videos circulating book of face where a policeman threatened to "make something up" to arrest someone and another PCSO telling a guy that his kids can't play in his front garden. It's boiling under the surface. | |||

"I thought about this And when we had rain the other day I decided nope.. definitely need nice weather or it will feel a whole lot worse " True if you have a back garden or like us who are right near a park so you can do your daily exercise. Also our park has a skate park in it so while it been empty been getting back into skateboarding which at 32 years old I thought I was a bit to old for it. | |||

"Lockdown is the most blunt instrument there is to deal with a pandemic. Due to a lack of preparation, however, it is all we have at present. It only buys us time, it does not cure or solve a thing. It just kicks the can down the road. During the bought time, any decent government would have our economy fully focused on producing tests. Millions of them. Every factory dedicated to it. Not sure that is happening, but it should be. Once we have sufficient tests, we ease the lockdown. We then test everyone. Every day. Those testing positive go home and isolate. Those who do not carry on with their normal lives. When/if a vaccine turns up, we move towards that as well as testing. That’s the way out. This.. Were being asked to swallow the jingoistic language about being at war with all the elements one might associate with that.. But the reality is something far different.. " . I note you mentioned the word war. In the 2nd world war there was a estimated 80 million people killed. Eventually and hopefully soon a vaccine will be found for covid19 Hopefully it won't have the casualty count. Medical science will intervene its spread Wars will kill forever | |||

That's the reason. It is to safe Civil liberties and the rule of Parliament and not have a dictatorship. | |||
