Lockdown Period

[said]

If anyone had contracted the virus at the start of the lockdown, two weeks ago - they would know they had it by now and would have to stay in anyway. Since we have been on lockdown for to weeks - people could not, it is claimed, have caught it because they are isolated. So, surely we can end the lockdown? The virus has a twelve day incubation period - lockdown has been much longer than that. What do you say?

Has it escaped your attention that many people have still had to go to work, that many people have to go shopping?
Here's the Health Secretary yesterday. Not much social distancing going on behind him is there?

All that's missing from that is you calling it the flu. Still, a somewhat novel mutation on your usual wilfull ignorance.

Unlike asymptomatic people, you are always presenting symptoms.

How many people's deaths are you aiming to cause? Is it a frustration that you'll never know what destruction you've wrought?

Ironically, it could be that you, a known malevolent ignoramus, nudge people towards behaviours opposite to that which you want them to perform.

I'd say can you stop creating utterly pointless threads spouting boll#cks.

People with far greater knowledge than you, yes there are people out there hard for you to believe I know! will tell us when it is safe to ease the lockdown.

It is far more likely we will have a more stringent lockdown before an easing, especially if morons ignore the rules and go about their business as if nothing is going on!

Out you go then. Go on. Touch all the doors. Lick every button on every lift in town. Rub every handrail, leap into the path of every cough and sneeze. Don't forget trolleys and baskets. Have a good feel of them. Just to prove you're right.

What's the worst that could happen? A few flu-like symptoms?

GO ON. Stand up to this silly virus.

Then pop back in a few weeks to let us know how it went.

Said's been self-isolating long before it was fashionable. To be fair, he's unlikely to want to follow his own incessant advice by venturing out his bedsit slum at the time of an epidemic. It's much safer for him to play at wilffully ignorant, malevolent keyboard warrior as he single-finger taps away on his Cash Converter's laptop. Although he's probably never worked a day in his life, I don't begrudge him having saved up some of his benefits income to spend on a cheap computer that helps defer the brunt of the lonlieness for him. The wishing of ill and death on strangers and society in general does, though, seem a bit mentally ill and the stock mentality of a loser scumbag.

Hey Said - how about swapping a 12 hour shift with my wife, a frontline care worker? Just a few of your duties:

Washing, feeding and toileting elderly residents, some of whom have just been admitted because the hospitals are emptying beds.

Accompanying residents to hospital - a place where catching the virus is very likely.

Grabbing a snack in the 20-minute break you're likely to get - forget worker's rights at a time like this.

The original post is the most moronic, imbecilic and downright ignorant one I've ever seen on this board.

Aha! You ARE a person of low esteem - I thought so. Only such people personally abuse others as often as you do. There is absolutely no need to have an inferiority complex, even if you not comprehend facts readily - I am sure you must have some hidden talent somewhere - I guess it is just finding it that is the problem.

Since you have once more given a self conflicting response without presenting an argument - , am I to presume that you have been hitting the bottle yet again?

To add insult to your injury - the Government are relaxing the lockdown rules for those people whose mental condition means that they would suffer negatively if made to stay in continuously.

I do not get the reason for your verbal diatribe - all I am saying is that it is time that lockdown should be relaxed - and in fact, just this afternoon, I have heard that it IS being relaxed under certain conditions! It would appear that you did not completely understand my meaning. It is quite logical!

As to your wonderful wife - I have no doubt at all that she is doing a magnificent job with probably very little gratitude - just as my friend's wife does, who I met the other day while she was walking her two dogs in the park - and no doubt thousands of others too. But that has very little relevance to the topic.

Think again, how many know they have had the virus and are now recovered? Currently very few truly know they have come through the virus, you know very well that many of the initial symptoms are not much more than those of a cold, by your thinking even those who experienced minor symptoms can declare themselves immune and get out in the big wide world again, do you fancy the odds of rejoining the world only to discover that you are still vulnerable, or are you as sick as DR thinks, in that you relish the thought of encouraging the spread of this virus.

You very sad person! Is that your own image? How on earth can you give a sensible response if you cannot read and think. Even the young kids on facebook, respond better than you can.

said, you've an unfailing habit of denigrating fellow forum posters' ability to "comprehend facts". What is your diagnosis?
Are you narcissistic? Insecure?

Yes, but since the incubation period is twelve days maximum - then during the period that we have been in isolation - anyone who had contracted the virus would be showing symptoms by now. Anyone with as much as one brain cell, would then remain in isolation until it had passed completely - and then they would be immune to it. Those who have not shown to have any symptoms - are more than likely immune to the virus anyway - and are not in any danger of passing it on. The fact is, that even the highest level medical expert does not understand how this virus is spread - the experts do not know how the first person caught it in the first place, they have discarded the bat theory.

By the very same reasoning that you give - how do these people know that they did not just have a cold? That is not too far fetched as the changing weather conditions are perfect for catching colds.

It is not a matter of spreading the virus - it is a matter of being logical, or would you suggest that people continue to be under house arrest for months, or even years maybe, in case they catch any germs that may be around. That may suit some other posters on this site - but it would be a completely stupid idea.

Probably! But correct as well!

Perhaps you would like to revise point (a) — your conclusion does not necessarily follow from your premiss.

As for point (b), are we to understand that you, said, do "understand how this virus is spread"?
