The most sensible thing for the club to do would be to close all sites at least for the remainder of the year.

They should have done that some time ago.

"One in three people who have Coronavirus have no symptoms and will be spreading it without realising it" (Government website).

This of course includes caravanners and motorhomers who have insisted on their right to freedom and have continued to travel from place to place.

I can fully understand people wanting to travel to see loved ones and to some extent that can be forgiven. Anyone planning to travel more than very locally simply for self gratification should really just stay home and stay safe.

things can only get better!

In the by and by after they likely get worse I think.

Quite possibly, the biggest threat is that CV19 is allowed to become endemic and regularly mutates to the point where we have no active defence against it. Nightmare ‘Doomsday’ scenario, millions of deaths until it burns itself outside, but I defy anyone to prove it couldn’t happen! The young and fittest could inherit the earth,

Yes, constantly present, highly contagious and lethal to many.

If you want to use that description fine. It already fits that description. It's a corona virus as is the flu with which we already live. As with the flu it is extremely unlikely that vaccines will become ineffective against it but may need to be adjusted regularly to combat mutations. Are you aware that the Oxford Astra Z vaccine was designed within 48 hours of the genome being read. The biggest danger I see from CV19 is its ability to readily jump the species barrier.

I guess it does fit that description, but ‘endemic’ suggests something more persistent than a transitory disease, something more like Malaria which kills 400k annually or Smallpox in the period when it was a death sentence for many. I agree completely about jumping the species barrier. That’s where it came from as did SARS, MERS, Ebola etc. All is recent history so quite likely the next example is just around the corner. Our close relationship with animals via the food chain or pets renders us extremely vulnerable. I was aware that the Oxford vaccine was based on a platform previously created for another coronavirus - our good fortune!

Yes. Your first definition is not entirely correct, your second is. Of course flu is in that sense endemic. Every year worldwide, there are an estimated 1 billion cases, 3-5 million severe cases, and 290,000-650,000 deaths. Hopefully we will get CV19 down to similar levels or less, but it definitely here to stay.
