As John Lennon once sang, "Living is easy with eye's closed, misunderstanding all you see". Yes being ignorant to the dangers might seem a simple easy way to lead your life, but it will increase your risk of catching, dying or getting long term covid effects. It will also increase your chance of passing that on. The ONLY reason we don't have 300k+ deaths is because the government and scientists told us to fear this.
Who's it determined by then? You?
I meant your post about people loosing on average one year to covidHave a read about people's mental health, the economic suffering and also people suffering other medical conditions it will give you a different aspect if nothing else.
Oh you don't care about the other stuff cool, have a read on the fact that covid is taking on average 1 year from people who sadly pass away from it... It will give you a different aspect if nothing else.
Alvez are you trying to claim that a) the spread of the disease is not exponential without control measures, b) that the NHS has a finite capacity, which once exceeded increases risk of mortality, c) that the lockdown and control measures we have endured for 8 months have had an insignificant impact in the mortality rate? 300K+ was a finger in the air, but over a long enough time span without any control measures would be met.
that's not a fact, there simply isn't enough quality and complete data to claim that as a fact, FACT
There is data that at least 40k people have died, and the death rates during lockdown and pre-post lockdown show that without controls the death rate dramatically increases. So, yes, there is evidence that without effort the deaths would increase exponentially, 300K is a pretty conservative estimate if you just let the disease run rampant with zero effort to control, because we would breach hospital capacity, and drugs, plasma and every other medicinal treatment would run out. The data while being incomplete shows the minimum deaths would be much much worse than we have seen.There is literally 0 data for your claims, fact.
It's not though is it. There is evidence of 40K+ deaths with controls in place
Read the article Smog Chorus, it doesn't address the central point I made, which was the question : "What would have happened with no lock down?" That is the comparison that you would have to make. The graphs scale is wrong to clearly see the effect that lockdown had.
