[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 996134, member: 70552"] :confused: And no new cases in China? China reporting 11 new cases. It may mean nothing to you, but means a hell of a lot to China, when they are ramping up testing to stop the spike becoming anything bigger. [URL]https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-china-cases/china-reports-11-new-mainland-covid-19-cases-vs-three-a-day-earlier-idUSKBN23102F[/URL] And in respect of SARS and i am sure applicable to MERS: [URL]https://theconversation.com/the-mysterious-disappearance-of-the-first-sars-virus-and-why-we-need-a-vaccine-for-the-current-one-but-didnt-for-the-other-137583[/URL] You need to bare in mind that even coming out of lockdown, there will still be a lot of uncertainty because we do not yet know how this virus will mutate. So you just pointing to spikes and dismissing them and that thinking is not going to assuage people’s fears and return back to normality. SARs and MERs taught countries like South Korea, Taiwan, Japan and HK not to take such viruses lightly. Why do you think their infection rates and death tolls for COVID -19 are so low? Because they learnt from their mistakes in relation to SARs and MERs. The UK have to be ready for a second wave IF it happens and that means lifting the restrictions slowly, testing/contact tracing extensively and ensuring we have enough capacity/hospital beds/PPE/Ventilators IF required. The inaction of this Government to allow the virus to spread in February/March was bad enough. It would be unforgivable if they were to allow a second wave IF it happened to get out of hand and supersede what happened in February/March. And if there is no second wave because we have prepared, it does not mean we can slip into this mentality “oh we were panicking over nothing”. This is the kind of thinking that got us in trouble in the first place in February/March. [/QUOTE]
