During H3N2 pandemic of 1968-1970 they managed to hold the Woodstock and Isle of Wight festivals.
I don't think I would use Woodstock as an example of something run either smoothly or very well or with any hint of health and safety.

Correct, it’s not about the infection rate, it’s about the rate it is rising.I would say wait until it's not increasing at the very least?
There is no magic number - I think if the number wasn't going up, this would've gone ahead, and understandably so. It's merely a precaution, which I don't blame any governing authority for deciding upon.
Just my feeling.

Plus Quill, they had vaccine after 4 months of the initial Chinese/Hong Kong outbreak! (pre Woodstock). I seem to remember one or two members of my family getting the slightly nastier return of this flu around 1970ish
Though you wish you had been there. And I O W 1970.
Doesn't take many quadruplings to give cause for concern.The Director of Public Health for Hull's just been on RH, she sounds rather dim.
It's all well and good saying the infection rate has gone from 4.2 per 100,000, to 15.3 per 100,000. But in a place the size of Hull, it means it's gone from barely anyone being infected, to 30 odd people being inflected, it's hardly a zombie apocalypse.
But it’s only increasing because we are testing more.... the number of cases is still the same, we are just finding more. Same riskI would say wait until it's not increasing at the very least?

Actually, that's wrong as the number of cases per 100 tests has risen sharply.
but isn’t that proportionate to the number of tests in the area? That’s what they are not telling us - the number of positives, but not the number of tests in a particular area.
It’s a farce
1,000,000% agree, nanny state gone totally loony!Beg to differ, infection rate is roughly a miserly 20 per 100,00, do we have to wait until it's zero, what is the magic number ?
If people don't want to go that's fine but let the rest of us make up our own minds.
What is?
To repeat. The number of cases (positive) per 100 tests has risen. It doesn't matter how many tests were done; the infection rate is rising.
Loads more people have the virus but less are dying of it ????
Hard to say at this point. Deaths tended to be a number of weeks later. Also you would need to understand the age breakdown of those tested given the different level of morbidity based on age.Loads more people have the virus but less are dying of it ????
Because younger people are getting it..if I get it I'm fcukedLoads more people have the virus but less are dying of it ????
