Then we can tighten up again.
The thing is getting herd immunity as fast as we can without overloading the health services.
There is no real prospect of a vaccine soon despite trials, so take precautions and get back to work without fear and help to get the economy back on track.
Young, fit, HEALTHY people have very little to worry about.
Fit young people are dying because of this, so that's not really true.

Do you know the medical background of anyone at all?
The fact is that you don't, so you can't say what is true or not, only a doctor can do that (and we know that grieving families say he/she was fit as a fiddle but they are not doctors with access to medical records either).

The other fact is that those with a weak immune system, and this applies to older people, are most at risk.
Then there are those with other medical complications.
These people could die by any other means, for example, the flu.
This coronavirus thing is just another thing which might affect those people.

By the way I am in the moderate risk group on two accounts.
I take precautions and so should everyone else, but young, fit, HEALTHY people have very little to worry about and if they also take simple precautions then the chance of them catching the virus and suffering from it is drastically reduced.

Slowed right down over the past few days.
Apparently figures at the weekend are lower for some reason, maybe the way they collate them.


What was that you said again?

True, but they do look like slowing.

There is only an increase of 5 over the past 24 hours.

Current figures for the City of Sunderland are 1,098 cases.

It is slowing down, we all know there's a lag because they need to add in the ones from the ons.

There'll be an acceptable death limit soon enough
