Is this still necessary?
Covid doesn’t appear to be killing in the numbers it was. For example, back on April 9 2020 we experienced 5865 new Covid cases and 1152 deaths. August 27 2020 we experienced 1522 new cases and 12 deaths. So the proportion of people dying from Covid has dropped from 20 percent to <0.1 percent. Does this indicate that it is less lethal?

I think it’s because of social distancing and the fact that people haven’t really got back to work yet, plus schools not back either. I’m guessing there’ll be an upsurge two to three weeks after school returns. Less chance as well to interact outdoors as the weather becomes colder.

I’m mostly concerned with the infections’ Severity Catherine . My reading of the stats suggest one is much much less likely to die from Covid than in April but I can’t see any other explanation for this other than the disease is changing in terms of severity.

The government won’t backtrack. The fallout in unemployment, no facilities for other illnesses in hospitals and homelessness will be terrible. No alternative opinions allowed on the BBC, Sky, Channel 4 and in most newspapers. No mention on the news of the march in London today….

Indeed. I just wish I could find an explanation as to whether the disease IS reducing in its deadliness or not. The stats suggest it is to me.
