Coronavirus - Part Two.

[Baron99 847]

400 found attending a wedding celebration in London.  The fact many fleed as officers arrived, shows they knew they were in the wrong.

Fleed?

Tsk, tsk, Baron!

I saw this on the mid-day noos (fat fingas spreading!) as well. 400 attending, police produced a strategy and stopped it, yet only fined 5 people.  It is reported there was a large police presence, so how come only 5 were fined?  They didn't all run home when they saw the police - most presumably came by car.  All they'd got to do is get all the car plates close by scanned (they can do this easily), then have a number of police waiting as they rush to their cars.  As they got in, tell them to expect their £200 fines.  Even if they only got 100 of them that way, 100 x £200 = £20,000.  That would surely pay for the operation and something left over.  Instead, taxpayers get to pay for the event!  In addition, if many of them were not local, what were they doing out of their area in a lockdown without sufficient allowed reason?  Another potential fine missed!

 

As it is, this goes to publicise that there is only a 5/400 chance of getting fined for attending an illegal event such as this.  Wrong signal!  Opportunity missed!

This link succinctly  sums up the difference between:Vatiant, Strain and Mutation.

It's worth knowing the difference.

 

"Arrrg!  It's a new strain" , Is bandied around willy nilly all over the News. 

Take no notice of the comment ,"Janneke 222"  ,at the bottom of the article.

A virus is not alive. It does not fight for its existence.

Unfortunately the latest news by the Government and its advisors seem to think it is now more deadly by up to 30% , which does not mean much, as well as it spreading more easily and faster.  The problem now being is that even those in the know advising the government also state the data is still in the preliminary stage and that the evidence on lethality is not strong yet. Maybe they should stop the scare stories until they have concrete data to back it up as many will now question it.

1300 plus a day for the past few days isn't enough?

I hope the proverbial book is thrown at the organisers of this wedding, and all those who attended.

How utterly selfish and entitled these people are.

Indeed so.

If your oxygen levels are dangerously low you need help Covid or not.

The problem being, post covid you can be hypoxic on exertion without any symptoms, even shortness of breath. 

STH were giving out pulse oximeters to post covid patients last year!

It's interesting that the school say they 'leased' the hall out. 

Surely they have some responsibility to find out what it is being leased out for???

Apparently the Yesodey Hatorah School in Hackney is also used as a Coronavirus testing site.
