STORY:
Data has revealed close to 30 areas of England which are being closely monitored by the government as potential coronavirus hotspots.
Paul Emerson:
Cases, cases, cases sick to death of hearing that word. If the government and media used 'positive tests' instead it would help stop the hysteria over cases. Cases gives the impression of someone ill as opposed to most having no illness or symptoms. Positive tests are higher because we are testing more people and tracking and tracing people to get them to have tests. Scotland has had no deaths for 25 days but hundreds and hundreds of positive tests. Last week the ONS estimated 3700 people are catching the virus each day down from 4200 the week before.
Glenda Hall:
Absolutely right I am absolutely fed up of people talking up a second wave If significant testing had been done from March we would have a direct comparison to figures today As it is the experts are interpreting the figures in a way that induces hysteria and anxiety Mandarory wearing of masks only serves to reinforce this anxiety No deaths in Sunderland for 42 days Any cases are not serious enough to be hospitalised and many have no symptoms at all I do not know anyone who has died of the virus My 90 year old Mother bedridden with dementia has also avoided the virus. Hospitals are still failing to treat people with other illnesses while hospital beds are empty!
Joanne Parker:
Paul Emerson, I couldn't have said it better myself I'm sick of all the scaremongering and the sheeple falling for it.
Neil Hutchinson:
The death rate has dropped dramatically but positive tests have risen maybe we are achieving herd immunity, the pubs are packed, beaches packed but the death rate now is very low, have we already had the "second wave "as a lot of people were ill with something they had never experienced before around the turn of the year?
Lee Miller:
Cases mean nothing of they remain just cases and not hospital admissions or deaths. I would expect our world class test and track system to pick up cases.
David Duggan:
The whole “plandemic” is hilarious, nothing short of a pantomime.
Terry Scales:
The government is using the virus to an advantage now to control us.
