Second Wave On The Way

[Dubbag]

Just another thought on this and a question for Dubs really.

Are governments actually trying to protect people ( the 0.3% ) OR.........is it more a case of them trying to protect their health providing services due to the rate of infection?

This leads me back to yesterday’s point in that I think we need to ramp up respiratory provision with more specialist hospital services and staff so that we can cope and let normality to everyday life to return.

Consider this Mick.......In 2008 when the banking system collapsed.....the policy makers looked back at 1929 and decide to do the complete opposite because it was regarded as adding to a bad situation and that those policy decisions were woeful.
I'll leave that to the reader to decide weather it worked or not....12 years later.

When SARS-Cov2 broke on to the seen, they looked back at the policy decisions of policy makers back in 1918, when the Spanish flu pandemic broke for some kind of lead...The basics still work...hand hygiene, social distancing, proper etiquette when sneezing or coughing. War was raging on and most people of our standard were living in very bad squalid conditions...when the basics were hard to implement. And check how in particular the Philadelphia authority handled it..spoiler..(a disaster).
Most of the governments want to be looking like they are doing all this for your benefit...but looking at it from here...it would seem that they can not control people from moving around and are willing to continue to open up the economy. However the risk is quite apparent and it is this.. while the numbers been admitted to hospitals have been dropping, the numbers been infected are not falling much lower then present...and this is still Summer season.
They have already had a dry run at ramping up, a test so to speak......many specialist units will come back on stream as we progress in to autumn and the Nightingale hospital has already been ready...so...it is just getting the PPE stuff in place and that is about all you can do for now...and hope people continue to play there part......
