>>18476830 Britain may well repeat its lockdown blunders sooner than anyone thinks LB
The 'establishment' are obsessed with so called 'bird flu' here. Always trying to make something of it..
Back to Convid though, I have yet to see anyone of any meaning mention the governments webpage about High Consequence Infectious Diseases.
Here is the page, https://www.gov.uk/guidance/high-consequence-infectious-diseases-hcid
Ironically it lists at the top on the search term 'covid 19 government downgrade'.
Guidance and information about high consequence infectious diseases and their management in England.

Definition of HCID
In the UK, a high consequence infectious disease (HCID) is defined according to the following criteria:
-
acute infectious disease
-
typically has a high case-fatality rate
-
may not have effective prophylaxis or treatment
-
often difficult to recognise and detect rapidly
-
ability to spread in the community and within healthcare settings
-
requires an enhanced individual, population and system response to ensure it is managed effectively, efficiently and safely
Classification of HCIDs
HCIDs are further divided into contact and airborne groups:
-
contact HCIDs are usually spread by direct contact with an infected patient or infected fluids, tissues and other materials, or by indirect contact with contaminated materials and fomites
-
airborne HCIDs are spread by respiratory droplets or aerosol transmission, in addition to contact routes of transmission
There's a nice list of the HCID's that the government categorise as dangerous, probably all patented by biolabs somewhere along the line and the the attached image describing Covid 19.
'As of 19 March 2020, COVID-19 is no longer considered to be an HCID in the UK..
They have determined that several features have now changed; in particular, more information is available about mortality rates (low overall)..'
19th March 2020 was only a few days before the government imposed the first lockdown here.
In light of the information being released that has exposed the likes of Matt Hancock and the way they planned to 'scare the public into submission' etc, it is interesting that the government thought that the overall mortality risk was low from the beginning but kept very quite about it.
