@Banjo Shamen you're not paying attention.!! With respect. Every day new research is published on covid19 . It's a novel virus. Dr John is keeping us updated with new research. Which may have not have been available months ago. And there is more information hopefully to be published.

ben26436 What is your source? Do you have numbers? Sorry, it’s just that alone that doesn’t mean much... it could ha e gone from 1 suicide to 2

@ben26436 Mate, it's really not. NZ had more strict lockdowns than VIC does, and they're doing great now. We're better off locking down hard for a short period of time than letting this drag on. The sooner we can get this under control, the sooner people can go back to work. Edit: Let's talk stats. Approx. 3000 people died of suicide in 2019 in Australia. A 200% increase would be an extra 3,000. Sweden, a country that never locked down has 570 COVID19 deaths per million and counting. Adjusting to Australia's population, that would be 14,250 deaths. Which is worse? I'm not meaning to undermine mental health.

@Banjo Shamen I think the jury had decided this one. Masks protect others more than yourself... Do the right thing... Protect others... Look after the vulnerable and make everyone safe. Those who don't wear masks don't regard the efficacy of them... They don't regard the safety of others

@Banjo Shamen I will.respect that is your opinion. But here we will depart in so much as I believe I am following scientific opinion rather than politics. I will follow my belief and you can follow yours. It is about choice and I feel comfortable with mine. I wish you well.

There was a parliamentary inquiry yesterday. No minister could give a straight answer. Normally the Premier is goodt facing the public camera. This time he was avoiding looking at the person's asking the questions. That includes J. Mikakos. Who closed her inquiry to the public. They should resign. This would not could have been avoided. They did what ever they wanted. Avoiding the. Chief medical officers advice. And help offered by the MP and the ADF THEY LIED I'd like them to explain to the families why they were so negligent The families who baried and their loved ones. 19 deaths yesterday. More higher numbers to came.

Mark Bainbridge I think you’ve answered your own question. With no new measures to prevent transmission it will spread like wildfire.

Extract From Disease Mitigation Measures in the Control of Pandemic Influenza There are no historical observations or scientific studies that support the confinement by quarantine of groups of possibly infected people for extended periods in order to slow the spread of influenza. A World Health Organization (WHO) Writing Group, after reviewing the literature and considering contemporary international experience, concluded that “forced isolation and quarantine are ineffective and impractical.”[63] Despite this recommendation by experts, mandatory large-scale quarantine continues to be considered as an option by some authorities and government officials.[64] [65] The interest in quarantine reflects the views and conditions prevalent more than 50 years ago, when much less was known about the epidemiology of infectious diseases and when there was far less international and domestic travel in a less densely populated world. It is difficult to identify circumstances in the past half-century when large-scale quarantine has been effectively used in the control of any disease. The negative consequences of large-scale quarantine are so extreme (forced confinement of sick people with the well; complete restriction of movement of large populations; difficulty in getting critical supplies, medicines, and food to people inside the quarantine zone) that this mitigation measure should be eliminated from serious consideration.

Yes, it's strange. UK residents worrying about Spain. The daily amounth of covid-19 deaths in the UK per million inhabitants is much higher than that of Spain. Today on worldometers: Spain 26 on 47 million. UK 89 on 68 million. More than twice as many!

@@HvdHaghen The rate of increase in CASES in Spain is much higher than the UK. 65 per 100K population, compared to 14 per 100K for the UK.

It is true the number of clusters are increasing in Spain : a cluster in Spain is any group of more than 10 positive cases. In the Spanish news they say 25% of clusters are well over the 100 cases ...In the three main east northern regions the clusters are way higher in the thousands ! (Navarra, Aragon , Catalunya have experienced an enormous surge initially of asymptomatic cases but in Aragon : in the last 2weeks ,now entering the third week, The contagion is causing symptomatic cases with increasing hospitals admissions and ICU up to 50% capacity but most cases are young adults In the early 30ies !. What started as a cluster of infected fruit pickers( due to foreigners provided with substandard,very poor hygienic living conditions by the farmers )in the frontier between Aragon and Catalunya has progressed into asymptomatic cases and symptomatic cases mostly in young adults . Madrid has still high number of symptomatic cases as well while other areas have lower rates. In Aragon the Government advised back in mid July against travelling outside the region in order to control the contagion ,some of my friends cancelled their holidays to other parts of Spain but very sadly I have heard stories of other people from Aragon disobeying the advice and travelling to other regions :even from Spanish nurses ! Telling me that they were not prepared to cancel their family holidays in other regions because “we have to learn to live with this virus “! human nature remains very selfish and ignorance is among all stratus of society regardless of your profession.Sad times for my country of birth.

Surely you can't suspect every cough of being CV? If I have a cough I don't think anything of it. I often cough due to allergy. I'd only be concerned if I had a high temperature or other flu like symptoms.

Few videos ago he did mention a recent study about rashes as possible symptom of Covid-19. There's three types recognized so far: one is urticaria type rash, another is chicken pox type rash and third is "Covid fingers & toes". I can't remember which video it was so I could link it here, sorry...

Same in Germany but people carry their exemption cert with them

I always assume they have a mental disability or illness.

In Co-op supermarkets you hear a recorded message asking customers to show respect to anyone not wearing a mask. Meanwhile in our local newsagents, neither the shopkeepers nor the majority of their customers (who admittedly mostly pop in and out pretty quickly) are wearing them.

There are still people commentating that this is all fake and no worse than the flu or a bad cold. The worst decision they could have made was to reopen the pubs which were guaranteed to cause almost immediate community spread as had happened in Aberdeen. Hospital admissions are also now starting to increase up here as well.

That's odd isn't it?

Thanks for the thought =) Good luck elsewhere. At least Politicians in the next few decades will be of calibre and not populist fools, given we see the damage they can do.

(Sydney Australia) we have had our in laws in hospital here twice in the last fortnight. Reduced entrance points to the hospital and check in points asking why you are entering, taking your temperature and giving you a mask if you don't have one and signing in. All staff are wearing masks and those attending patients additional disposable aprons, gloves etc. Visitors are limited to 1 x visit per day only and it must be the same person who has signed initial paperwork. 2 x windows of visiting hours am and pm of 1 hour. 1 x lift only and 2 people max in the lift so long lineup, if you're lucky you can manage a 15 minute visit. Very strict.

@Samizdat Neomodernist I just have and new cases crept up to similar levels to the end of May but no worse than that, thus far. At present, mostly younger people are contracting the virus hence the lack of increased hospitalisations but if this spreads to over 50s it may become more serious. We just have to hope that this doesn't happen.

@Samizdat Neomodernist Things have certainly got worse for businesses and individuals affected by the cluster in Aberdeen and surrounding area and there are many additional smaller clusters appearing that are currently being managed by the contact tracing teams. The First Minister has repeatedly indicated her concerns about these recent outbreaks in the daily briefing, so I stand by my original comment.

​@Samizdat Neomodernist I agree that the situation in the UK is vastly improved over where we were several months ago but experience around the world shows that whenever a country lets its guard down the virus very quickly reasserts itself with eventual serious consequences for older people, those with comorbidities and those with low vitamin D levels. However, were it not for the asymptomatic spread and long lead-in time I doubt that COVID-19 would present such a threat as you generally could avoid anyone who had obviously contracted it, as you would someone suffering from a heavy cold or influenza. What is driving the current sporadic outbreaks that cause so much disruption are people ignoring the social distancing (and other) rules that prevents the virus having a bridge between them. The UK and regional governments are taking a preventitive strategy to avoid hospitals being overwhelmed like we see in some other countries. I follow the science rather than the media and Medcram has also proved helpful with explaining exactly how this virus works. Now that the medics understand it attacks the endothelium and causes micro-clots in a large minority of people, they can address this more effectively with blood thinners and/or drugs like Dexamethasone. However, until we receive a vaccine in a few months' time we will all have to live with the inconveniences a bit longer to protect those most at risk.

@Samizdat Neomodernist Here is one country taken at random that is seeing increased hospitalisations: www.france24.com/en/20200813-two-months-after-taming-infections-with-lockdown-spain-faces-new-covid-19-surge We will have to agree to disagree on most of your other points as I do not subscribe to conspiracy theories. However, I will speculate that the virus may have reached Europe much earlier than believed and more people have had the mild version of it than officially recorded leading to widespread T-cell immunity in some localities.

Dr. John has explained that multiple times on other videos.

@@jazzcatt Yes, I know. But sometimes the current video is the first video for someone. It sounded like, to me anyway, that if R < 1.0 then cases should be going down, contradicting the ONS data which has cases going up. Of course he meant 'new cases' but it didn't sound that way. Someone might be thinking, "total unresolved cases" are increasing which is a number we don't know because the UK doesn't seem to publish data on resolved cases. I just thought more clarity of language would help. It is not criticism. I make these same mistakes all the time and people come back and say "you said such and so!!" when I meant something else. Then I have to speak more precisely to clear things up.

11:11 you mean?

My 15 year old son went to Orthodontist last week, as his brace came loose. They are only doing emergencies. My son had to wait outside the building until he received a phone or text to come in. They checked his temperature, asked questions If he had a temperature or cough etc. It was safe, they are only allowing one patient in and out! (I am in the 🇬🇧)

@@essanjay8604 It's not extreme fear for me because I'm a scientist and I know that my dentist has poor ventilation in the room. Here in France the guidelines say you wear a mask that's all. I called and asked him. Anyway I'll go in September and see what it's like for myself

I also can't find statistics on the number of children murdered in abortion clinics. The ONS are very biased on what they want to report on!

Peter: "Public Health England estimates" 17,000 flu annually of the flu there. Seems a high estimate. For the USA, the annual count nears 20,000--with the worse recent year being 50,000 out of 300,000,000. You know how to do a simple, natural language query online? All I did was key in: 'how many people die of flu annually in uk' Google doesn't require cap letters or punctuation, just the question

Try NARIC website!

With all the masks and social distancing the number will be less than it would have been.

Yes this is the question I’m perplexed by.

I think the true cases number is higher than stated. If people get the virus mildly or asymptomatically, then they don't get tested. So the true CFR is lower - probably 0.5-0.7 %

@@fatbelly27 thanks, so that must mean that there has been more cases pro rata than near enough any other country then ? It would certainly make sense, but even where the *recorded* cases are much much higher than the UK the CFR appears to be much lower in countries like Mexico for example.

@Peter S ok I don't think the NHS is all that it's cracked up to be at all, but it would in no way even begin to explain the high CFR compared to other countries, where their health services have sometimes literally been non existent and have turned away patients due to service overwhelm. If you look up the stats on any live COVID-19 feed and look at the number of cases recorded against the number of deaths in many other countries we fare an average infection rate, but about quadruple the number of deaths, something is not right with the recording of the data surely ?

@Peter S It's already having a major effect on the economy and we are nowhere near controlling this virus. I agree all those factors apply. In particular 'age of cases.' We seem to have a policy of discharging ill people from hospital to care homes if there is a nurse based in the care home. The problem is in this case we were discharging highly infectious people into a setting of many tens of vulnerable older people and I think of the official figures 22000 of the 45000 deaths were in case homes. Many care homes now face bankruptcy because they no longer have paying clients.
