Is anyone becoming suspicious?

I am not. I am referring to increased posts on a Covid-19 Facebook group and peoples comments on posts, news links and news websites

I'm unsure if people are just getting twitchy or they genuinely believe this isn't a real thing??

@NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite

If it’s as contagious as they say it is I really need not worry about having to go onto to a covid Ward, when I’m just as likely to catch it in my local supermarket.

I understand perfectly thank you, i understand that this government has pretty much been pissing in the wind. Their main aim was to protect the NHS and not have hospitals at capacity which they have succeeded in doing. I believe there is a virus but If it’s true what they say and survival rate is roughly about 97% unless vulnerable or have underlying health issues then why an unlawful lockdown?? There is a much bigger agenda and if you don’t think there is and you believe the government only have our best interests at heart that’s up to you.

A survival rate of 97% means a mortality rate of 3%. A normal flu has a mortality rate of 0.1%. COVID is 30 times more deadly.

In certain groups it's much, much higher.

If that doesn't worry you, go out and work on a COVID ward without PPE.

Looking at worldometer today, it looks like 14 percent of those with covid in the UK have died, so a 86 percent survival rate. Looking at world totals it is more like 7 percent of people with it die. Without lockdown actual cases and deaths would both be higher. The numbers we are seeing now are as a result of 2 - 3 months spread without lockdown - pre lockdown - that is evidence of its contagion risk. Each person passes it to 2 others without social distancing - ie if there had not been lockdown there would have been significantly higher numbers.

The survival rate is over 99%. That's what any study that accounts for the vast number of uncounted cases concludes. That's what the German study which tested people for antibodies concluded.

This has been a massive overreaction. And I say that as someone who has been very concerned about this since January and was very worried at first.we know more now.. Its time to get back to normal (with masks, social distancing etc) and end these economy and life destroying lockdowns.

That's what the German study which tested people for antibodies concluded it is difficult to comment definitely without seeing the studies you are looking at, when they were written, about which countries they were written as the situation varies hugely from country to country for a multitude of reasons and so on - can you link the studies?

I believe the virus is real, but man made in a lab I am not sure if you are still reading, but I have attached a video which you may find interesting about this. The scientists from South Korea and Hong Kong have spent a great deal of time warning the west in January to take precautions in relation to covid 19. They are experts in the wild animal/human virus jump, they found thednaof this virus in Januaryand confirmed it was as a result of animal/human jump. They went to some lengths to get the west to listen to them and take the virus seriously January - March, and I do think that if the virus had come from a lab they would have presented the science in a different way. Instead they have been at pains to explain about the wild animal/human leap and its dangers now and in the future. They are saying that every 5 or 6 years there is a virus from an animal which is a threat to humans and it will continue to happen and that how the viruses behave is unpredictable, and that at the heart of the problem there is the wild animal illegal trade which needs to be controlled. This is an interview with Prof Gabriel Leung back at the beginning of March, well before many countries were taking action, and has footage from the wild animal markets. The illegal trafficking of wild animals is still an issue today.
