This whole video could have been titled "We know nothing new". Wasted my time. Pointless video

3 minute video saying "we have no idea how this virus works" 🤷‍♂️

The extent of covid-19 seems to change more often than that of a liar's story.

Going to the BBC for knowledge is like going to Aldi for scaffolding.

I kid you not, I got covid 19 when I was 19 years old. I don't know how I recovered when I wasn't healthy at all. I would eat junk food everyday and pretty much sit down most of the day.

This woman would make a fantastic newsround reporter!

Dr John Campbell is waiting to talk, Rachel.

Thanks, BBC. The truth is that for anyone under 40 the risks from this virus are very small. Yet I read today that more than 9 million people have been furloughed in the UK at an astronomical cost. To no avail: millions of jobs will shortly be lost. If only older people could have been shielded safely from the start and the rest left to go about their normal lives with sensible precautions how much better would it have been for all.

Haha, so in short we really still know nothing 👍

She didn't talk scientifically in anything literally , just giving examples.

[stephaniewhite]

Play school propaganda video. She should be holding Humpty & Jemima.

And... Are the tests any good?! Flooding the market with poor quality tests ruins all of this!

All the people around me are tested positive with covid, but im the only one who's isn't positive. They got reinfected twice, right now too. But even still im still not positive and not showing any symptoms.

*Sheeple need to wake up pretty soon and understand the seriousness of what is going on.*
*Wake up and fight back.*

This video is all about to tell us we still know nothing....😆😆😆

[greenfox]

Why is she talking like a nursery school teacher? I wonder is this how she talks, or just how she talks to the general public ...

[nemeczek]

Immunity is not hereditary. For example, if the Queen has immunity, it does not mean Prince Andrew does.

[davidmarjason]

Its supoose to be a yes or no answer but why turn it into a secondary school lesson?

[borisjohnson]

How about you explain panodrama and why you are fabricating sexual allegations against innocent people?

This video's good, Although I studied in senior high school
