Saintslass Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Just last weekend the media were going endlessly on about how people were overcrowding beaches and how such behaviour could bring a second wave of infection. Not a single word is said about the protests taking place over something that didn't even happen in this country. I cannot believe what I am seeing on the TV and social media at the moment. There was another one in Liverpool today and Manchester, two places where mayors have highlighted the level of infection in their cities and yet they are allowing protests that go on for ages and have hundreds of people standing right next to each other, shouting a lot. As far as I can see, not a single one of them has been broken up by the police and yet large gatherings can actually be broken up legally under covid law. I find this very, very worrying.

Do you feel the same, or more or less worried, about the gatherings at Bournemouth beach and Lulworth Cove? These are gatherings. Or is a suntan and an ice cream more important?

Why not ask them? The excess on our policy is around the cost of the flight (75p more!) otherwise we would be! It's a self booked/planned trip so we've already cancelled the hotels and the excursions/visits that haven't already been cancelled by the providers. We were expecting the flight out would be cancelled (and hoping the return would be too but we had less hope of that) and would gladly have taken vouchers to use (sometime) in the future!

The aim of the CVA process is to allow us, subject to the agreement of our creditors, to manage our rent payments at certain hotels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are gatherings. Or is a suntan and an ice cream more important? Yes. I even mentioned it on page 265 of this very thread. There are two differences though between being on the beach and being at a protest. On the beach people are mostly sitting down which immediately puts distance between them. They are often up and about to the sea, playing games, etc, and generally they aren't shouting within close proximity. At a protest, people are shouting and they are standing possibly for hours within touching distance. Shouting - like singing - is known by scientists to spread the virus further than talking (although of course talking can spread it too), and touching/standing right beside someone is of course also a good way of spreading the disease. So yes, I have been anxious about both these types of mass gatherings but I am much more anxious about the protests. And the police have done nothing in any of the places where the protests have been taking place. Liverpool being one and Manchester another, where both mayors have been vocal about there being a high level of virus. Yet they are silent.

I've had an email that basically says those bookings aren't (although that's probably shouldn't be) affected. We definitely won't be using the one at the end of this month even if they were allowed to open, but will hopefully (although I've not got much TBH) be using the one we've booked in September.

Wholly Trinity Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 The stats from Brazil continue to make grim reading. A month ago, they were comparable with the UK. Now, they are overtaking the US.

Now, they are overtaking the US. Let it never be said that lockdown was an over reaction or unnecessary. You say that but there is one thing I'm curious about, because I genuinely don't understand what the implications may be. In the UK, it is still the case that the highest number of daily deaths occurred on 8 April. This is still considered to be the peak of the virus here. According to the scientists I have heard speak on the matter, in order to get to the stage where someone dies from Covid 19, a person will usually have been infected on average between 21 and 28 days prior to their death (obviously some people spend a long time in hospital before they die; likewise some die very quickly after becoming infected). Therefore, that would suggest the peak of infections occurred around 11 to 18 March, ie before our full lockdown came into being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that relate to the fact that antibodies can only be detected 14 to 28 days after the infection? I suppose you could end up being endlessly tested at this rate to find out whether you've ever had Covid (assuming you aren't aware of having it at the time of course).
