A national lockdown, properly controlled this time. To try and get on top if it. With an exit plan this time.
For all age groups? For fit and healthy young people that have next to no risk from it?
What do you mean no risk? We've still got a lot to learn about this nasty virus.
The problem with dividing via age groups is they can still spread it. They can still die of it too come to think of it. I get your point though.
If you lockdown this country again in the depths of winter you will create a social and economic disaster. More jobs and livelihoods will be lost when we are already in recession. Repossessions will rise with the inability to pay mortgages. Children’s already curtailed education will be further neglected. Mental health issues will rocket with the lack of daylight hours and the ability to use outside spaces and gardens hindered by the weather.
Yes, because they're potentially carriers who won't have symptoms but will pass it on - it's selfish, arrogant attitudes like this that have caused this latest increase
Glad you got the treatment you wife needs that’s great to hear
I meant locking down now. When cases are rising. To stop deaths rising in correspondence
TBF I was asking for proof lockdown was causing more deaths. Haven't seen that. Also I would hope to see proof it's causing more deaths than it's preventing.
Give him a chance. I've asked for the evidence. Let's see what it is.
Well if it’s selfish and arrogant to want to see people safe in what’s left of their jobs then I’m guilty. If it’s selfish and arrogant to want people to be able to keep a roof over their families heads then I’m guilty. If it’s selfish and arrogant to want to stop an explosion in untreated cancers then I’m guilty. If it’s selfish and arrogant to want suicides, loneliness and mental health issues to be kept to a minimum then I’m guilty. And if it’s selfish and arrogant to want people to be able to live their lives free of state imposed restrictions to combat a virus that kills a very small, vulnerable percentage of those that it infects then I’m guilty. But mark my words your lockdown cure will have consequences that are far worse than the disease itself. Over and out. Off to be selfish and arrogant.
If you still have old/infirm parents or grandparents think of them. If you do not then think of all of the people who have old/infirm parents and grandparents. If those older/infirm people catch it you are probably signing their death warrants.
That’s why older people and people with underlying health issues should be isolated when the figures suggest it’s necessary. That is a million miles away from a National lockdown.
