"Is it wierd that it's just those 2? Don't think so, it's a buffer again to allow Boris etc to say they are following the scientific experts.." The thing to remember is that scientists can have opposing views, both evidenced based, but one has to consider the validity. Anyway, the ministers are accountable not their advisors. It's one true thing Hancock has stated and restated and true  | |||

"125 folks died of suicide last week. Not to mention flu and influenza. 25 of covid. Folks are completly covid obsessed " Well we are told we are a few weeks behind spain and from the 14th to the 17th there were 603 covid deaths so i think its quite right we should still be covid obsessed. | |||

"The government has looked increasingly through this disaster as glad to have scapegoats to blame. Pushing these 2 alone to make a pre-agreed acceptable to Johnson and Cummings briefing, provides a good opportunity to help do so. The very recent hints that they seem to be dropping are that it's the public who are to blame and to try to frighten us with a future full lockdown returning if we can't behave. They've been trying to blame the public for trying to get too many tests, such as when they are asymptomatic, rather than the government admitting that they didn't plan and implement adequate testing and tracing quantities and abilities, for example. Testing must be readily available very quickly and results very quick too, to ensure that the infected know it and are limited from spreading it any further. It's absolutely stupid to culture normality of people not being tested, knowing their status and then being no worse off, whilst they quarantine. Instead we get the sticks being waved about of the £10,000 fines, to appease voters and to keep the blame on the people, instead of the government for not resourcing appropriate testing and tracing services. Expect grave warnings, some blame hinted at and the fear being dished out of lockdowns again, when the PUPBLIC fail at what they should be doing. " It is the public's fault. They voted in a one issue govt that cannot even do that! This crisis is apolitical and should have a combined team of all parties. Though the theory is good, they'd never get anything done  | |||

"125 folks died of suicide last week. Not to mention flu and influenza. 25 of covid. Folks are completly covid obsessed " You have to remember that there is a massive project ongoing to try to control covid, and still 25 people died and 4000 new infections were recorded. There are no figures for flu at the moment (as it's out of season) and the government isn't doing anything to reduce suicides. So really you're not comparing apples with apples. Regardless of whether you feel that it's an overreaction or not. The situation will not change until the daily new infection rates are very low (below 50 possibly). The more people cry about the situation and refuse to play their part, the longer it will take to resolve. Cal | |||

"A question that arose in my mind is why locations affect the level of antibodies? Vallance stated approx 8% of survivors have antibodies but could rise to 17% in London. Without explanation. I have a couple of ideas but that is all they are. I actually think Vallance maybe just giving the lowest of possible figures rather than a range. I think it's a case of keep an eye on global studies done at a high standard. " Very much agree with this. | |||

Yes it’s below the suicide number but not by much and if the current trend continues Covid deaths will shortly blitz past the suicide numbers.

Yes it still includes 20-29, but the presentation diverts "blame" seemingly to a new group, from education age (further and higher) to young adults.

It's just a pointless comparison.
We took extreme action to curb Covid deaths. If we went to a similar level of action on mental health support we'd get suicide numbers right down too.
People just keep falling into the 'numbers are low so what's the big deal' trap. | |||

It's good that we are continuing to give accommodation to the homeless, as just housing the vulnerable homeless for the earlier period of the epidemic is very short sighted verging on cruel. As earlier, the crux of our problems are infections gained here, a severe lack of testing and tracing, giving as near-immediate results back, so that people can be quarantined, recompensed to ensure the common good is served and local hotspots of infections from anywhere have resources focused on them to help to stop them spreading further. | |||

I learned that in school, it's not difficult "Yes and oddly enough Spring follows Winter. I ask again again, 5 months of winter? I tell you what I'll respond to my own question cos it's obviously too hard for you: no winter does not generally have 5 months cos it doesn't run from Oct to beginning of march. Although seasons don't have a definite start and end date, it is generally accepted that winter runs from and includes Nov to January. Spring can often be seen in February even if we have snow on the ground. I'm now going to see what Google says | |||

Last year there were 5691 suicides registered in England and Wales. That's an average of 109.44 per week. A difference of 16 people per week. Last year no one on record died of Covid-19. When suicides rise exponentially and flu stats are significantly higher year on year then they can take priority. Right now we have a pandemic that's killed nearly a million people in less than a year. It won’t go away by pointing fingers elsewhere. | |||

"125 folks died of suicide last week. Not to mention flu and influenza. 25 of covid. Folks are completly covid obsessed The suicide number is rather unlikely to start to double every week is it? I think you are being disgustingly disingenuous with your figures, you are comparing a weekly suicide figure with a daily Covid deaths figure. The rolling 7 day Covid figure is about 100 deaths. Yes it’s below the suicide number but not by much and if the current trend continues Covid deaths will shortly blitz past the suicide numbers. An appalling act of misinformation, I hope it was accidental. Please clue up or shut up. Thank you Just to correct you the rolling seven day average death figure is 21.29 not 100." Where are you getting that figure? It’s wildly different to the worldmeter figures | |||

"125 folks died of suicide last week. Not to mention flu and influenza. 25 of covid. Folks are completly covid obsessed spot on How do 25 people a week die from covid when 18 people die in one day? Well 18 die in one day and over the other 6 days 7 die. See. 18+7=25. Thanks Einstein. So 18 people died of Covid-19 on the 20th, 27 on the 19th.... not much point in continuing... Last year there were 5691 suicides registered in England and Wales. That's an average of 109.44 per week. A difference of 16 people per week. Last year no one on record died of Covid-19. When suicides rise exponentially and flu stats are significantly higher year on year then they can take priority. Right now we have a pandemic that's killed nearly a million people in less than a year. It won’t go away by pointing fingers elsewhere. It is sad that these stats and many others entirely ignore both Svotland and Northern Ireland. I see it again and again Engalnd and wales. The other two members of the Family entirely ignored. And Westminster wonders why so many want independence. This is not an attack on the poster of the above comment, just venting. Stay safe." It's because, due to their levels of devolution, Scotland and Northern Ireland collect their own figures, which aren't always as easy to find. | |||

You picked the stats bullet brain. You said 25 died in a week. That's 7 days. So 18 kicked off one day and during the other 6 days of that 7 day period 7 must have died. 18×7=25 You said it. Now if 27 died the day before that 7 day period started it has nothing to do with the 7 days after where 25 died. See? No you don't do you. | |||

It was not me who said that 25 die a week from Covid-19. I am asking how that can be the weekly stat when it's nearly the daily stat?

This is why it's important. The original comment makes it look like we are trying to save 25 people a week at the expense of 125 suicides. We must be nuts! But when you break that data down the first stat ignores the fact that people were taking thier own lives before Covid-19. 109 per week which now makes it 16 people we would be losing to lockdown vs 25 saved.... Except the 25 figure is incorrect too. Since it is difficult to find a daily death rate for the last week, I have questioned the veracity of the statement since 18 people had died the day before, making it highly unlikely that only 7 people died in the preceding 6 days. But it seems some of those amongst us feel the need to nitpick (which is against forum rules). So despite the fact that everything I wrote is correct, it is being pounced on for not being written in legalese. Its as tedious for me as it is for you. My apologies. | |||

"125 folks died of suicide last week. Not to mention flu and influenza. 25 of covid. Folks are completly covid obsessed The suicide number is rather unlikely to start to double every week is it? I think you are being disgustingly disingenuous with your figures, you are comparing a weekly suicide figure with a daily Covid deaths figure. The rolling 7 day Covid figure is about 100 deaths. Yes it’s below the suicide number but not by much and if the current trend continues Covid deaths will shortly blitz past the suicide numbers. An appalling act of misinformation, I hope it was accidental. Please clue up or shut up. Thank you Just to correct you the rolling seven day average death figure is 21.29 not 100. Where are you getting that figure? It’s wildly different to the worldmeter figures" I'm getting that figure from worldindata, where I have always got my data from. | |||
