    But we don't really know if the threat is small.

    There will be a mass killing pandemic. Not this one. This is nature’s way of culling and humans have no predators besides microbes. Better to be exposed to as many minor threats like this one to be better able to arm our immune system from the much bigger threats now that the Chinese wet markets have reopened.

    7 in 100 thousand deaths after exposure. And most only presumed to be from c-19!!!
    Yes a very small threat and smoking, drinking and auto accidents will claim more. Cancer and heart disease especially will claim more in orders of magnitude. So let’s get things in perspective!

    The question still remains. Some places enforce face masks, a limited number of people in one spot, and quarantine. We don't yet know how much of an effect these things will have.
    Again ... we don't yet know. What you've written is not much more than speculation because there are a number of variables that are still not properly recorded. I honestly do not think they can be recorded properly because there is no set standard. Take the case with Germany. The laws are fairly set in stone. But as of three weeks ago they have allowed us (Sweden) inside their borders - we, who have nearly no restrictions. In fact, the only restriction that is law is access to hospitals. So ..... how will Germany catch-up on their data considering that foreign nationals are now free to roam the streets of their cities? Will a spike in the inflicted be attributed to us? What about a lull? Will that be attributed to us? This is not a strict laboratory experiment.

    Don’t ever underestimate Dutch girls. They don’t put up with anything! They test their guys hard and rough but if anything happens to their kids it’s a contest to see who gets there first. If it is them they will deal with it mercilessly and without a trace. What happens in the canals stays in the canals.

    LOL... Sadiq Khan is moaning like a baby because no one in the Gov wants to talk to him or tell him any of their plans... not even invited him to the Gov's Cobra meetings...

    The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has reacted with fury and claimed he was excluded from talks about any "quarantine ring" in London.

    He said: "Our surprise is such that far reaching contingency plans have been discussed and tested without the involvement of London's government.

    "This is clearly totally unacceptable and an affront to London and Londoners.

    "We are accountable to nine million Londoners and have a duty to represent their views and best interests.

    "We also know our communities and their needs far better than national Government."

    Sadiq Khan also pointed out that it has been 12 weeks since he was invited to a Cobra meeting and warned against "riding roughshod over democratically elected representatives".
