Covid-19 hasn’t gone away just because we have a vaccine – the death toll is as high as ever

Last Updated: December 10, 2020By Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,

 

The English lockdown turned out to be no good at all – didn’t it?

Daily Covid-19 statistics show another 16,578 cases today (December 10), with 533 deaths.

That means the number of deaths is higher than when England went into its second lockdown at the beginning of November.

The number of cases has fallen, but while it is half the peak (33,470, November 12), the number of deaths is comparable.

Much of the problem is the rampant corruption in Boris Johnson’s government, that has handed appointments to the unqualified and contracts to the incapable:

Meanwhile it has been revealed that a doctor who had studied coronaviruses like Covid-19 for 30 years was not contacted by the government when the pandemic began.

Dr David Matthews was part of the only UK team working on human coronaviruses when Covid-19 first surfaced in China.

Despite his expertise, the virologist said his advice was not sought – and he wasn’t invited to join the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE).

The response to the pandemic remains a national scandal. That won’t change, just because there’s a vaccine now.

And the British public – those who’ve had it so far – has been markedly underwhelmed by the jab.

After all the fuss about vaccinations starting, a 91-year-old man became a sudden celebrity – for being completely unimpressed.

Londoner Martin Kenyon said it was “very unexciting”.

He added: “I hope I’m not going to get the bloody bug now. I don’t intend to have it because I’ve got granddaughters. I intend to live a long time to enjoy their lives.”

And he said: “There’s no point in dying now when I’ve lived this long,”

Like a true Brit, he complained about the food, which he described as “a rather nasty lunch”.

One group that may be delighted to get the jab – but may have to wait a while to receive it – is students.

The question is: will they all have lost their minds by the time they get their freedom back?

Students have been talking about the mental health impact of the pandemic and you can read their stories here.

When they get out, they won’t be able to go far: Covid has collided with Brexit with the announcement that, from January 1, UK holidaymakers will be subject to the same travel rules as anybody else outside the European Union – meaning we won’t be allowed into the EU on holiday under current pandemic-related travel restrictions.

Non-essential travel is allowed from a small group of countries with lower levels of Covid cases including Australia, New Zealand and South Korea. There are no plans to allow the UK – whose infection rates have been a national embarrassment, if not disaster, since March.

    People are stupid, i’m sorry but it’s true. I’ve seen many comments and witnessed the behaviour of people, when I was fortunate enough to get a job in a supermarket, after my entire industry was shut down. People don’t care. There was house parties, street parties, sex parties, pub lock-ins. People don’t want to modify their behaviour. I’ve seen people cough into their hands and touch things, I’ve seen people picking their noses, blowing them on filthy snot-rags and touch things, people refusing to wear masks, waving them around, on public transport… The list is quite exhaustive. A vaccine isn’t a cure. If you catch SARS-CoV-2, a vaccine won’t help. The virus don’t care if you’re a student, a politician, an actor, what day it is, what time of day it is, whether you have to work, or not. People seems to know better what to do, during the Great Plague! This idea that people will see their relatives, on Christmas Day and beyond, anyway, is foolhardy. The virus doesn’t take time off, it doesn’t respect Holy places. Anybody can catch it and an ex colleague’s girlfriend’s best friend caught it and died, at the age of 21, with no underlying health issues. People don’t care! Media don’t help, nor do political commentators, or many in the House. I despair!
