Well those BLM protests don't seem to have caused any spikes, and they were packed in like sardines in some places.

The cold/flu i.e. virus season has always been in Winter because there's more people indoors.

Large outside gatherings of 'younger' people (including BLM protests, beach parties....etc) along with their refusal to wear face coverings is certainly seen as one reason behind the exponential growth in cases here in the US.

Don't seemed to have happened here

Outbreaks have been in Leicester sweatshops/ food processing factories/ Kirklees bed and mattress factories.

All indoors.

I think States where people were lulled into 'returning to normal life' are having the most problems. You might see the same impacts there in a couple of weeks.

Seasonal flu virus kills 650000 every year.
We cant get a vaccine fot that.

Crash, few people value you more than I but have you been on the magic mushrooms again? Average annual UK deaths from flu for the last decade is 10,000. I am predicting 200,000 Covid deaths in the UK. As I never travel more than 5 miles from home why you should think I was referring to the whole world escapes me.

PHE have been inflating the figures BTW.

He didn't say UK.

Hey, genius, I KNOW he didn't say UK. I was questioning the relevance of his comparison of worldwide flu deaths to my predictions of UK Covid deaths. But look, if you're just going to be a point scoring jerk don't read my stuff in future. Please.

As he didn't directly quote you Crash might not have actually been replying to your post.

I misread it and deleted it.

What is "your stuff" BTW?

It seems to be mainly trolling.

Anyone seen IBS around?

Mainly, yes.

But the food processing factories are mainly Central/ Eastern Europeans, they are in Barnsley anyway where the Covid rate is high relatively.
