This paragraph was released by SAGE who also want the schools left open.

Read the paragraph carefully and hypothesise why more 20-40 year old females are being admitted with Covid

“ He also warned that the virus was "running riot" across all age groups, with up to four times more women aged between 20 and 40 being admitted to hospital with Covid-19 than men in the same age bracket.”

It couldn’t perhaps be that children who have been all passing it to each other asymptomatically have passed it onto mums who then spend time nattering to other mums at schools across the country? This sounds a perfectly feasible reason to me for it to have been passed around that age group but patently not obvious to those who want schools to stay open.

So let’s lockdown the money generating portion of the population and let the little muck spreaders carry on passing it about, bless ‘em.

Just to give you info from someone on the ground as it were.
Australia population 25 million. Each state is running its own game when it comes to COVID action but overall, all states did come to the same conclusions.
They closed their borders.The larger states Victoria, NSW and Queensland all went into a hard lockdown.
Victoria due to a bungle in overseas admission quaraintine ended up being the last state to get a handle on things but now after a 3 MONTH Lockdown are having doughnut days that is 0 new cases, 0 deaths from CV19.
Tis virus will not go away of its own accord. You either let a certain proportion of your population die until you find a vaccine or you lockdown.
When the number of deaths and new infections get low enough you can then identify infection sources.
Up to you guys, we fought a war 1939-45 harder than this and as a sickly child who was 3 when it ended, living in Upper Norwood, I thank my country of birth for being 78 and still rattling along.
Summers over, lockdown until you win through.

There is a big difference in the way countries gather their data, and how they manipulate that into statistics.
Australia recorded no new CV19 infections today, but then who did they test, and what numbers ?

Clearly the track-and-trace stystem in the UK needs to be made fit for purpose, as it clearly seems to be having minimal effect.

Chris Whitty needs an enema, cos he is so full of 5hlt. The "We just have to make up measures as we go along" line was so disheartening from a Professor.

Any measures previously introduced have been done too late, resulting in loads of deaths. Now the rate of infections is increasing and deaths are only at a plateau at the moment because all the really old and sick people are dead already.

At least wetherspoons are selling Real Ale up until lockdown for only 99p a pint. It's nice to know someone is learning how to cope better with the disease.

Alternatively C19 has taken the older ones who were weak and to survive needs new hosts. Maybe this age in females is perfect for it. Still they must have underlying health issues so was due to die anyway.
Time will tell if your school gate theory is correct as we've had a week off from school so there should be a big dip lasting a week in a few weeks. That's will be actual catergoric evidence of the muck spreader theory. If not then it really is time to get concerned as these broads could start dying in numbers. Maybe the virus is using another angle to get rid of the population. Long covid could also include infertility, who knows yet but by just letting it spread we will certainly find out!

Away from the arguments about the best collective response to this crisis, I saw something interesting on TV this evening which encouraged me to look deeper.

It seems that people with low levels of Vitamin D stand a 50% higher chance of catching a cold than those with adequate levels. Colds are coronaviruses. They are worse in winter when our Vitamin D levels are lower, due to decreased sunlight and less time outdoors. My own empirical experience suggests that people in the tropics suffer with colds less than us.

So I did some Googling and there is quite a lot which supports the hypothesis that low levels of Vitamin D may contribute to the surge in Covid 19. Do some yourself. You could start here:- [Link]

I will be buying Vitamin D supplement tomorrow. I have up to this moment always regarded supplements as a waste of money if you ate a balanced diet.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

I have prescribed vit D due to my RA.
Every cloud and all.

I'm not allowed to go, it's released after lockdown, so they will have to watch it without me.
