A month after the beaches opened 09:40 - Jul 16 with 5111 views | GlasgowBlue | And nearly two weeks after the pubs did the same, we’ve not seen any signs of a second spike. Infections and deaths are down each day. There is so much about this virus we don’t understand but I’m surprised that there hasn’t been even a small increase in infections and deaths. Saars ran from Nov 2002 and was pretty much gone by June 2003 with a small number of cases after and Completely disappeared in 2004. No second wave. COVID is 70% same structure. Could we see the same? Or am I being too optimistic? |  |

A month after the beaches opened on 13:53 - Jul 16 by Mullet | Yeah, as you and GB say it's not good is it? I went out to eat last weekend and it felt OK, but there seemed to be a lot of people who had gone back to normal. As if the whole thing was over and others showing various levels of caution. That in itself isn't very good is it? |
It isn’t, I think we have to settle in for the long haul. As you say, unfortunately some seem to have gained an understanding that it’s all over when the evidence from overseas is that we’re some way away. It’s going to be a long winter. |  |

Nobel Laureate, and hugely scathing of Neil Fergusons calculations with all of this. I mean, we've all got opinions on this, but Levitt did strike a chord with me. |
How is he a crank? He has kept me sane during this pandemic and seems qualified enough? |  |

Mullet has put two links up there in this thread. There are hundreds more that reveal the real motivation behind his ‘advice’ |  | |  |
