Coronavirus - political views - supporting or otherwise...

The U.K. population has certainly proved itself to be dense.

Sorry. Couldn’t resist the temptation.

Atleast the govt guidelines are very clear....

And even then, when it explained so well, there are some who make out it's vague!!

Yes indeed - include the 20 or so individuals not really observing the rules sitting around tables outside a pub in largely 'White middle class’ and generally affluent town in Surrey. No spiking in our area - but probably only because the virus isn't at a higher level in our community. Which is worrying if it does become more prevalent as the behaviours we see are not great.

Lots of different demographics across the whole country are being careless...problems arise if the virus is significant in the community.

I get ya Hogie... nail on head?... I just wish the politicians would have the courage to say what demographic is really at risk rather than tip-toeing around, worried they “might offend” Tell the Fat, the old and the Bame they might have to go back into lockdown with full support via extended furlough and extra benefits and let the rest of the population get on with getting the country back on its feet.

Another flawed 'throwaway' comment! That stat would be likely be relevant for 'Cases per Mill' - but not (directly) to Deaths/Million!
In Norway's case; perhaps, as both stats are significantly lower. But Sweden's (with twice the population of Norway) doesn't!

But you are certainly making an argument for 'social distancing' and/or wearing of masks when SD is easily breached. .

You cant compare by population alone, density was what he suggested and that's a different matter. If you compare the population density of major cities in the UK compared to those in Scandinavia the UK will be many times bigger and you would expect the chances of virus spread to also be greater.

I repeat for your apparent bias... or inability to read and understand!
That WOULD possibly/likely be appropriate for Cases/Million population. But NOT (directly) to Deaths/Million!

Calm down Dear ? Where did I day it was deaths per million, I said 'virus spread' I'll put it down to your inability to read and uderstand ?

How many beers/wines did you have with lunch/supper? Re-read my original reply to your alter-ego 'one-line flawed comment-er' (post 5141).
I actually agree - at least to a certain extent - but you don't seem to understand that¬

Re the bold bit....

Come on then Foxy, did I write the post you commented on in #5141 ? ???
Re the typo, you're not reading my signature either ?

Well, I did quote it in that post - but you apparently didn't bother to read it (properly)!

And FWIW...Your sig that inludes 'I may have made some nit picking error here.' is actually a criticism of yourself, that I've noted but ignored, with some amusement, to date! Perhaps typically, badly phrased! I'd suggest 'nit-pickable' (suggesting others might nit-pick it) rather than 'nit-picking' which implies it's YOU THAT'S NIT-PICKING!

Any, enough of the 'personal criticism/abuse'! Let's get back to subject of the thread!

Another shoot the poster!

Population density and other factors of spatial epidemiology and demographics are key factors in the transmission rates of infectious diseases.

It is of course a fact that the more people that interact the probability of transmission rises.

Ah, Socket's alter-ego chimes back in! with a 3-liner this time!
Kindly re-read the post you quoted!! Specifically, the 2nd sentence!
Btw. I agree - and even posted as much - in that same sentence!

Perhaps you shou ld reflect on the fact that 'the last word' is actually 'zzzzz'!
