You are probably right regarding not liking Comins interpretation of mitigation and living with the virus, as my version of these scenarios would likely be very different to HQ and DA's.

Kopek Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Barlow. We have to decide what we will do, during mitigation, about the spurious cases that will, undoubtedly, still arise? Do we ignore them and carry on with our new found freedom or lock down again? When will we be told? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry 365 - confusing it with the cycle shop. Given we cannot really fly or go into office receptions anymore, you do wonder how many have read it.

The transition phase of the exit plan is supposed to start in May. If they do what they say they are going to do, continued unexplained cases would mean the lockdown continuing until then, at which point a gradual relaxation of restrictions would begin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the key to me and others being able to start doing the things we miss and seeing our family again, for that reason, many of us have a very keen interest in it. For example, I had a relative die here this week, and unless we start seeing zero soon, I'm not going to be able to attend his funeral. If you aren't that bothered about that particular stat, then just ignore it. Sorry to hear about your relative. We had a very close relative die in the uk and attended the funeral via facetime. Horrific. I dont know if I'm getting my point across properly. I guess what I'm saying is that I think the government is basing its policy on a flawed number. (Due to people likely being dishonest with where they may have been, hence creating "unknown" cases) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Will they become more honest during Mitigation??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 What is your opinion re. If we get a spike like the current, does the Govt lock down again? Or Luck thru it having opened up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was clearly caught cold and struggling, it was a fine opportunity for one of them to extract some honesty out of HQ. Different virus. Different goal posts. Over 50s etc both jabs. Under 50s one jab, kids on summer holidays, borders will open. Kids will get ill but the spread through them should be slow as they are not at school. They can easily isolate at home.

I have thought that myself, but more from the viewpoint of people who have broken the rules by mixing not reporting the fact that they are ill to avoid consequences. I would hope after three weeks of no cases though, any virus they have spread would have shown itself somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
