From personal experience in the last week it's more like 7 or 8 in the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those obsessed with eradication will sleep a lot better once they accept it isn't possible. Short term eradication is possible, see the IoM from June through to the end of December. Or Guernsey, Or Aus and NZ. Or South Korea. We've only got to get so much further with it before we can start that move towards normality. In our case, the benefits of maintaining elimination short term outweigh the costs, whilst we get everyone vaccinated. In the UK, for example, getting to a state of elimination will be nigh on impossible. So they're going all out on vaccination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll mutter about confidence intervals and peer-reviewed studies, words he probably has heard but doesn't quite have a familiarity with. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voice of Reason Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 2 hours ago, Holte End said: I am sure there is a risk, but unsure of that risk, because the risk can't be measured scientifically, If it is not an exact science and can't be proven, until it is either it is proved or disproved So it could be a high risk or a low risk, so someone has to make a chose. Then that is a guess. Yes someone has to make an assessment. It is so much more than a mere guess. However if you still insist on calling it a guess at least concede it is an educated guess taking into account all the circumstances (table distancing, customer behaviour etc). The fact that a case was contracted in this particular coffee house does not mean the assessment was “wrong”. (Again low risk does not mean no risk.) Its not some random guess plucked out of the air that your initial scathing “Health of the Nation”post implied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
