Guest Ingo Sundowner Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 ... will this madness go on? I just want to go in my motorhome, start it up, get provisions and set off for a few months. Since voices grow louder that this virus isn't what its made out to be. According to my own maths, the mortality rate has never been higher than 0.01%. A "good flu epidemic" over a winter is probably worse than this virus. I personally go for get out and do what you enjoy rather than irrational fear. Anyone thinking the same? In terms of driving on?

Steve H Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Ummm - I guess the 46,000 people who have died were the 0.01% you calculate. I wonder how many of them thought 'What's the chance of me catching that?". So how lucky do you feel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adiebt Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Some have called it “ The shamdemic “ I’ve got to say I’m very very dubious about its danger to the general population. With hindsight ( a precious gift I know ) the vulnerable should of shielded and the rest of the population get on with their lives until it died away or a miracle vaccine was found. We are away in the van for two weeks after Saturday and we will endeavor to have a “ normal “ holiday . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many of them thought 'What's the chance of me catching that?". So how lucky do you feel? Very lucky. But they admitted to having counted just about any death and reduced it by 5,000. But, that aside, being 66 and having smoked for over 50 of those, i guess I'm in with a good chance. Last time i looked, old people always died before the young ones. I think its called nature :-> :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not on FB which is a great source of false information, so it can't be there. I take the virus seriously - we had a very sick 42 year old daughter who caught covid whilst treating patients in ICU - but I am open to persuasion ....... provided it is expert advice/opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weldted Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Quite simple put 10000 people in a stadium you pick the 0.01% that’s going to die then you can go on your holiday and not worry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to go in my motorhome, start it up, get provisions and set off for a few months. Is there anything stopping you? According to my own maths, the mortality rate has never been higher than 0.01%. A "good flu epidemic" over a winter is probably worse than this virus. The last estimate by ONS was that 3.5m had actually caught CV-19, looking at the revised deaths at that time around 35,000 had died. So that's around 10 times your mortality rate, and those deaths came about despite the most severe restrictions I've known in my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barryd999 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 There is nothing stopping you going away in your motorhome. We are away in ours right now. Sadly on the Yorkshire Coast where the weather has been totally sh1t. As far as I am aware though Europe is open so go if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously now is there nobody on here that actually has doubts about the whole thing? I have no doubts Plus, a friend's son, who is a doctor, caught Covid while at work in his hospital. He's now recovered and is back at work - but he didn't enjoy the experience. But hey, if you don't think it's real, why ask on here? Just have the courage of your convictions and go. If you don't come across anyone else on your travels who is infected, you'll be fine. If you do, with your stated medical history, your chances of recovery are much reduced. What's your problem, you're free to do as you choose, and you say you feel lucky, so, off you go! Simples. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically which voices? Ah, ok. You wont hear them on the BBC. You'd actually have to look elsewhere. But try London, Dublin, Madrid and Berlin for a start? If the " voices " you are referring to are not on mainstream media - I assume they are on " social media " ( in the places you mention) - which is as reliable as a bloke down the pub.. I have two concerns if I went away - I might catch it - and if I do catch it, I might give it to someone else. :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
