Yes its wise enough as the economy has to move and they need to get busineses back up and running. As long as they still keep theit social distances. It could be years before a vacine is found.yes its difficult but we have to.move on |

Depends entirely on the situation in any particular country. Are Ireland and the UK ready to reopen? Course not, things are improving but we're not at that point yet. The US is still hitting huge numbers of deaths and the White House has doubled their previous estimates of death because states are reopening too quickly.
Patience and caution are the only things that will prevent more deaths and a second lockdown. |

Yes, there could potentially be more deaths in the long run if a country's economy tanks too far and also deaths from mental health issues, lack of access to healthcare and from other problems such as domestic violence.
Plus we are already seeing social unrest and protest amongst citizens in Germany, Italy and Spain. |

Social distancing and hand washing will keep the virus infections to manageable levels. So that test track and trace can be used.
The country needs to get back working before people decide to do their own thing. |

I live in Norway, people here have followed the advice, they went hard and early with a lockdown, and life is slowly returning back to normal. Schools are open, nurseries are open, and the world is still turning |

The "easing" of the lockdown in Spain and Italy still leaves it stricter than ours ever was. Such as exercise at different times for different ages limited to one or two hours. Face masks compulsory in some countries. We have had it soft compared to some.... |

"Some countries are showing signs of easing their lockdowns.
With no vaccine in sight as yet, do you believe this is a wise move or not?
Let the discussion begin
 "
They are easing their lock downs but will still have far more restrictions than we currently have. People believe what they want to believe, sadly, and will use this as an excuse to say the pubs should be opened etc. |

"Government can only afford this for a few months after that no choice things will start easing this Sunday with pubs reopening later in the summer probably late June "
Zero chance of pubs reopening in late June! Late December more likely unless we want wave 2 in July. What's so important about pubs anyway? Lives must be saved - that's all that realistically matters . We've lost far to many already |

It's not so much the pubs but the whole socialising thing.

"I think we need another 3 weeks or so before relaxing anything else, we have to be sure that the numbers of deaths and infections continue to decline "
We don’t know of course but it looks like another 3 weeks lockdown before the 1st lifting of restrictions. Let’s not forget also that there are 1.4 ‘shielded’ people who have at least 6 more weeks of their 12 to go. |

To get people back to work so the economy improved they need pupils back to school - phased or otherwise. There won’t be any social distancing there.
It’s inevitable that restrictions will be relaxed. Time will tell whether it was right to do it now or not. |

really I despair of some of the mentality on here. Yes I lost family to it and a friends wife was pretty sick from it but thankfully getting better. Maybe it would have helped if I told or tell them to man up. Class act. |

Some of us are not earning now and fallen thru the governments assistance. Some people working for the civil service for example have reasonably safe jobs whereas others may lose their livelihoods. I am not belittling the people suffering from the effects of the virus but at some point we need to work. Especially as the virus seems to be going nowhere.
I'm sorry if this upsets people |

The economy does need to be considered, at some point it's possible that more people will die as a result of austerity/poverty/mental health/social issues/denial of healthcare etc than from corona. |

It’s always good to remember at times like these that austerity was an ideological choice, not an inevitability.
I agree that the economy will have to get back on track somehow but what I disagree with is people who say just because we are opening some workplaces we should open pubs and the like too. |

people's opinions can't open anything that is down to the government people can choose whether or not they are prepared to use businesses that are given permission to open |

People read too much into other people's opinions its the government that decide and like it or not money will play a big part in when businesses are allowed to reopen whether they factories gyms or pubs and restaurants but being confined to the house won't last much longer small outside gatherings will be allowed sooner rather than later as will family reunions where no vulnerable people are involved |

There's still an unknown level of infection amongst the people here. We should test enough of the public randomly, to get a solid understanding of how bad or good things are. Only really from that point should we be able to decide when and what are our steps to progress.
Statistical power should decide the minimum amount of people to be randomly tested in the country, with representative samples used. It's probably a low number of thousands. We'd also start to see more clearly where we'd need to focus our attention and resources, via repeated testing of representative samples.
There are different costs of keeping the lockdown per week, if we remain closed or have to have further periods of successive lockdowns. |

So you'd be prepared to let between 500,000 to 650,000 people die, just so you could go to the pub? Nice.  |

The article was from Fox News who are complete liars. They have also contributed to the US death toll by insisting for months the virus was just the flu, they even had a on screen counter saying it's killed 0 Americans and down playing it. They have blood on their hands as does the twat in the White House. Plus no NHS system and you get the worst outbreak of anywhere.
The economy is severely screwed now that's going to happen regardless now.
We can rebuild an economy later, we can't rebuild loved ones.
High time we put people before money for a change.

no not so I can go to the pub (I don’t drink) but so we can get the economy moving again.
At least this many people die on a yearly basis anyway - it’s possible this will lead to more, time will tell - people die of things every single day (cancer alone accounts on average for 450 a day - some of these preventable) does it suck - yes of cause - but that does not mean you cripple the rest of the country for too long ... |

Then imagine a virus with no cure killing people on top of those deaths. If we open up too soon it will spread again and we'll run out of hospital beds. |

Well in that case, what are we worrying about.
(Said in the voice of Basil Faulty)
Lets all stop being silly by staying indoors, as that amount of people die every year. Splendid!
Lets stop all of this social distancing, as you claim that amount of people die every year. So what do we need to worry about.
After all we only have to worry about the economy!!! |

You can get HPV, which can develop into cancer. You can get it through oral sex, full sex. It can lead to throat cancer, cancer of the ovaries, etc.
So to answer your question, yes it is possible. |

We have to find a balance,we need an economy because otherwise the country will have know NHS,no state pensions no dole etc.This is so hard the government is damned whatever it does,but we have to have some normality otherwise deaths through cancer,diabetes,heart problems etc will rise and covid deaths will be a drop in the ocean.
I would not like to have to make these decisions and sympathise with the people that do. |

"for those people who want everything lifted... lets me ask you the question dr. fauci asked yesterday in a tv interview...
"how much death and suffering are you prepared to accept to get back to the normal you want""
interesting to see how callous some of you would be?
1%
So you'd be prepared to let between 500,000 to 650,000 people die, just so you could go to the pub? Nice.
no not so I can go to the pub (I don’t drink) but so we can get the economy moving again.
At least this many people die on a yearly basis anyway - it’s possible this will lead to more, time will tell - people die of things every single day (cancer alone accounts on average for 450 a day - some of these preventable) does it suck - yes of cause - but that does not mean you cripple the rest of the country for too long ...
Can you avoid getting cancer by socially isolating?
You can get HPV, which can develop into cancer. You can get it through oral sex, full sex. It can lead to throat cancer, cancer of the ovaries, etc.
So to answer your question, yes it is possible. "
I know that some cancers can develop from things like that but that wasn’t what the question was getting at.
What I mean is would socially isolating yourself give you the same safety from cancer as it does from Covid 19? |

Let me ask you how many people you are prepared to see lose their jobs. 1 million, 2 million, 5 million? Do you realise that high unemployment figures lead to more health problems ans earlier deaths? |

Cancer isn't contagious and can be treated through early detection. If we don't keep lockdown in place at least it until the end of May, you wouldn't want cancer and the virus as that will significantly worsen your chances of survival. Now think of that on a country wide scale it could be 450+ more preventable deaths a day. We have lost 29,000 people and counting. We can't be complacent about this. How many people have to die before people finally reliase or care that this is the biggest emergency since WW2. |

this is up to the government not individuals we can argue all day but this weekend the government is releasing its plan to reopen the economy some of which will start straight after the weekend |

and that answer showed that for some cancers yes it could ... I never suggested that social distancing could stop cancers just that some are preventable - you could outright ban smoking - or fast food. There are other ways that put restrictions on people ... and just like you can choose not to smoke going forwards you can choose not to go out ... not to go to pubs ... not to go on meets .. |

Any relaxation in the lockdown has to be gradual. Mainly so if any particular action causes a spike in infections we can lock it back down again. Garden centres will be open soon, possibly the weekend. As some said before have been told golf courses possibly 3 weeks. Pubs are working on opening in September but people i know working in the industry and not overly optimistic about them opening then. |

Oh but it’s not about them, it’s about the economy, they’re being selfless
The economy does need to be considered, at some point it's possible that more people will die as a result of austerity/poverty/mental health/social issues/denial of healthcare etc than from corona.
It’s always good to remember at times like these that austerity was an ideological choice, not an inevitability.
I agree that the economy will have to get back on track somehow but what I disagree with is people who say just because we are opening some workplaces we should open pubs and the like too."
True, the ability to mitigate the risk of infection does determine which businesses and industries could reopen soonest and to what extent. |

"Plus we are already seeing social unrest and protest amongst citizens in Germany, Italy and Spain.

Yes, there's been vocal criticism in Spain and in Germany cops have been pelted with rocks
Do you have links to articles?
Here's one.

Anything since 12th April because that seems like an isolated incident?"
To be honest, I've not really searched actively for news from other countries so it could be.
I do know that people have become more vocal about wanting restrictions eased. |

Lockdown will end when the government has all the track/trace and control measures in place. They have all the excuses now to do it, it will stay in place forever the new normal or new order? |

You used cancer as a comparison though, which was foolish. If you could prevent cancer through social distancing then we'd have been socially distancing since we found out. At least 30% of cancers are just sheer bad luck though, and another 30% are genetic. Cancer simply isn't comparable to Covid 19 as there's no simple way to stop yourself getting it.
The problem we have is that Covid 19 is novel, we don't know enough about it to make any real pronouncements. Normally healthy people are dying from it when some 100 year olds are living. People can seem to be on the mend and two hours later they are on a ventilator or dead.
You cannot take calculated risks about something we don't have enough knowledge about. |

I couldn't find any, just so you know.
There will always be people who are vocal, there are people who believe the world is flat after all. |

I think we need to relax the lockdown .. not to be so strict on who goes out etc .. sounds a bit mean but it should really then be up to the individual .. if you are at risk .. stay home and if you aren't you can go out for more than an hour a day ..
Don't open pubs, restaurants, cinemas, cafes, etc and all businesses, etc need to be on 24hr a day working 2 shift patterns days/nights .. create double the work of course and need 24 hr public transport etc .. but social distancing is then possible.. buildings are only 50% full at any time .. anyone who can work from home needs to keep doing this for a bit longer.
Mums and dads need to plan how they work to make sure children are still cared for .. schools should go back in September .. and after all this ends nothing should be the same as it was as far as home/worklife balance etc ..

How many - let's say under 50 year old people have died of covid-19 in the UK? |
Reply privately, Reply in forum +quote

Well in the Scottish briefing Nicola S said they are less badly affected than the rest of uk but don’t expect to lessen restrictions within the next 3 weeks, but are looking at how to get folk to work and school and limited socialising in June.
So don’t expect Boris to lessen things off just yet, unless he chooses to ignore “the science” in favour of the economy. |

I can’t find statistics for under 50s in particular but up until April 24th there were 3,357 deaths of people under 65, that’s about 12.25% of all deaths up to that point in England and Wales. |

Younger people may not die but a lot will be left with life changing organ damage. I know a couple of people both around 40 who thankfully survived but are left with very damaged kidneys. One needs a transplant

They won't get a transplant if there is no economy left to pay for the NHS. |

I agree. I think it scared him being ill. He wants as few people as possible to have to go through the same thing so he will be cautious. I'm hoping for another 3 weeks 'lockdown' and then start gradually opening it up after that. |

No, you aren't. I'm saying it's a bad thing that 30,000+ people have died, you're saying it's good that 65,000,000 haven't.
There are more than 30,000 people's friends and families who don't get to focus on the positives I'm afraid.
How many would need to die before we stop living in the sunlit uplands where everyone is happy?

Oh, well that means no one else could possible have a different outcome then.
I mean ... that’s exactly their point. getting it has all sorts of outcomes - the majority still will come out the other side unaffected. It’s not all doom and gloom ..
It is for the people who die, and their family and friends.
Luckily that’s the minority of cases so as I said ... it’s not all doom and gloom ..
It is for more than 30,000 people and their family and friends but then I suppose "you're alright Jack".
Not just me but also the other 99.96% of the population who haven’t died from it either "
you are leaning very close to "let all the old and those with pre existing conditions" fend for themselves... cause i am alright!!!
i don't think that is a line you really want to be treading.....
as others have said... easy to say that when its not your family....
say that to someone who have lost family and see the reaction you get....... |

No, you aren't. I'm saying it's a bad thing that 30,000+ people have died, you're saying it's good that 65,000,000 haven't.
There are more than 30,000 people's friends and families who don't get to focus on the positives I'm afraid.
How many would need to die before we stop living in the sunlit uplands where everyone is happy?
So it’s not a good thing that 65million+ people have not died then ? It’s not a thing to be positive about? Just because some people are going to be sad does not mean we all have to be. There is doom and gloom ... but it’s not all doom and gloom ... not by a long shot ..
How many dead would it take for you to be sad?"
People die every day, and still will after. Yes, it sad more people have died because of Covid-19 but those people probably would have died at some point weather today, next week or next month if you are in a high risk group. |

Of course it's very sad, but this virus is not going away, it cant be cured by drugs or a vaccine yet, we can only treat those with it as best as we can and at the same time keep the economy alive to earn the money to pay for that treatment, |

because you came out the other side in not bad health... it doesn't mean everyone else does!
I know i have lost 3 people i know so far.... 1 nurse who was treating people who had it... who gave up their lives looking are people as blase as you seem to be!
so this is the question i have been asking people all day since dr fauci asked the question last night..
"who many people are you prepared to let die so you can get back to your normal"....
put a number on it! I'm interested..... |

No idea .. I’m certainly not sad about it at the moment .. as I’ve said earlier in the thread, people die every day, that does not make me sad either - it’s all part of being alive - but i will most definitely always see a death rate as low as it currently is during a pandemic situation as a very positive thing.
Even with all deaths that have affected me personally, I don feel sad about them - I miss the people that have gone - but I am happy for the time I had. |

I'll turn that question around .
How many peoples lives would you liked to be destroyed because of unemployment and losing their homes.
Before you can say ok let's get back to normal now. |

He didnt ask me a question.
He was asking someone else.
I'll answer it though... which ever figure will be the lowest out of the 2 scenarios.
I truly believe more lifes will be destroyed and/or suffering world wide from having the world shut down then what would come from covid.
Its that simple really.
Both will cause huge suffering and its about choosing the one which will cause least.
And i think overall the closing down worlds econmy will cause more suffering on a global scale.

It's funny to see the right wingers are the ones who all of a sudden care about mental health and poor people now that corona has shut down the economy, these are the same people that dont give a shite 99% of the time and would happily cut services to those in need to save a few pennies on their taxes.
Anyone supporting the right who's crying crocodile tears about mental health now and claiming to worry about the unemployed are disingenuous sociopaths. They didnt care about the vulnerable before, they dont care now. And they are quite happy to see people die in the tens of thousands as long as they get what they want.
And the point they try and make about more people dying because of lockdown than of the virus is exactly as ridiculous and false as you'd expect. 42,000 more people in the UK have died than usual since mid March. And that number will increase if restrictions are lifted too early. |

Your staticts mabey correct, but unfortunately unless some radical and overwhelming changes are made to our government i can't see any u-turn happening soon.
Just need to accept the government and experts decision when it happens and get on with it. |

We have never been in total lockdown.
Spain Italy and France were much stricter than we are at moment.
Too many people are on the roads at moment. I’m getting buses to work and people still using them when not essential travel. People seem to think a trip to the seaside or a visit to the lakes etc is essential travel. Lots of people out at weekends or sunny weather too.
A lot of people can work from home depending on their jobs.
Pubs will be one of the last places to reopen.
I will be very surprised if any restrictions are lifted till end of May. They should of been tighter at the beginning of lockdown. |

roads are busier everywhere in our home town most businesses have opened back up so lots more people travelling to and from work including more folks using public transport |

So much assumption in your post.
How do you know whos "right wing" or not?
How do you know these people didn't care about people with mental health or the poor?
How do you know they don't "give a shit 99% of the time and are happy for services to be cut to save pennys"?
How do you know these people are "disingenuous sociopaths"
Stop assuming what people are and what people arnt just because their view is different than yours and can see the damage from having the world locked down will result in more overal suffering than the actualy covid virus.
What i find "disengenious" is people that say every human life matters, so we need to stay in lock down to safe lifes, and yet they are only looking at the UK.
There is many country's (especially the poorer country's) that don't have furlough schemes in place, so getting zero income whilst in lock down.
The overall deaths/suffering GLOBALLY will be far more worse than the virus.
Or is it a case of "im alright jack" (for the UK) but fuck the rest of the world.
The very same thing you are accusing the people that want to end lock down of...
"Your healthy,your fine but think of the elderly, your selfish youre going to kill people ...ect ect"
Well reverse psychology will say the ones that want lock down to continue just because your doing ok on furlough or with savimgs are the selfish ones because if EVERY LIFE MATTERS that means every single living human being not just those in the UK.

Lots of people returned to work this week, slowly easing us out more and more is the best course of action and we can learn how to live with covid-19 |

I want the restrictions eased when it sensible to do it. I was redeployed and now going to work looking after the elderly. Have to get a bus as live in the opposite side to where I work.
I’m also classed as vulnerable as I have underlying health issues.
Every life does matter but if it eases too soon there will be a lot less lives. Unless vaccine comes sooner than later then it’s a different story.
Spain and Italy have just allowed people out recently for exercise. They seemed to be able to handle it much easier than we are. Also the French are coping with lockdown better and not heard of much trouble over there. How often do they have people striking normally when life goes on normally.
But people have different views and opinions and unless it happens to someone you know or even worse a loved one then some people will not take how serious this can effect them. |

Why are so many people obsessed with a vaccine, do they see it as a silver bullet ? Have they done any research into vaccines ? Lets look at one Vaccine from the swine flu epidemic a few years ago. it was called Pandemrix and manufactured by GSK ( Sir Patrick Vallance was a director of GSK, after the swine flu vaccination, but surely will know about it )Any way this vaccine was given to 6 million people, then withdrawn hastily, due to an upsurge in Narcolepsy throughout Europe, some media called it an epidemic, It has been proven in court that the Narcolepsy was caused by the vaccine, GSK admitted failing to carry out the correct safety checks, all Big Pharma are indemnified against any illness injury or death from there products. Any compensation paid out is paid by the British Government from tax payers money. That's just one snippet about one drug. My philosophy is Vaccines are made for profit and not people. And just remember the people that are selling you the panic, are also selling you the vaccine. |

Covid has no recognised cure. Can kill anyone from young children to the very old. Someone with lots of health issues to someone fit and healthy. It’s just luck wether you live or die if it hits you hard and you need a ventilator.
Yes people will get wealthy when they find a cure. And unfortunately most medications have some kind of side effect or some people have allergies to what goes in them.

yep and i think the last known case if that was sometine in the 80s only took them a few hundred years.i know peeps are trying to be positive but if they think that this can be wiped out and everyone will be protected in a few months there will be a lot of dissapointment.like someone else said above its something thats gona be around for years so we find a way to live with it being out there or we stay locked indoors for evermore |

"It's funny to see the right wingers are the ones who all of a sudden care about mental health and poor people now that corona has shut down the economy, these are the same people that dont give a shite 99% of the time and would happily cut services to those in need to save a few pennies on their taxes.
Anyone supporting the right who's crying crocodile tears about mental health now and claiming to worry about the unemployed are disingenuous sociopaths. They didnt care about the vulnerable before, they dont care now. And they are quite happy to see people die in the tens of thousands as long as they get what they want.
And the point they try and make about more people dying because of lockdown than of the virus is exactly as ridiculous and false as you'd expect. 42,000 more people in the UK have died than usual since mid March. And that number will increase if restrictions are lifted too early"
"
So much assumption in your post.
How do you know whos "right wing" or not?"
Simple, do they support right wing ideas like small government and brexit. Do they support right wing politicians like the Tories or Republicans. Do they care little about strangers dying and do they make up lies and disregard facts. All hallmarks of the right wing.
"How do you know these people didn't care about people with mental health or the poor?"
Because I'm specifically talking about the right wing and conservatives dont care. They whine for decades on end about how expensive and damaging to the economy it is to care about others.
"
How do you know they don't "give a shit 99% of the time and are happy for services to be cut to save pennys"?
How do you know these people are "disingenuous sociopaths" "
Because they're conservatives. Cutting services to lower taxes is one of their key beliefs.
"Stop assuming what people are and what people arnt just because their view is different than yours and can see the damage from having the world locked down will result in more overal suffering than the actualy covid virus.
"
Remember when I said disingenuous and making up falsehoods was a characteristic of the right? Heres an example right here. You say that the lockdown causes more suffering but there are no facts whatsoever to back this up. 42,000 extra people are dead. And that's just so far. That's 42,000 extra families who had to bury someone. That's far more suffering than the lockdown.
"What i find "disengenious" is people that say every human life matters, so we need to stay in lock down to safe lifes, and yet they are only looking at the UK.
There is many country's (especially the poorer country's) that don't have furlough schemes in place, so getting zero income whilst in lock down.
"
No countries income has been reduced to zero. Youre being dishonest again. In fact the IMF has offered over a trillion in funding to help smaller countries.
But again, these are the same countries that right wingers complain about sending foreign aid to every single year. Because again, they dont really care. Not to mention that while the lockdown is hurting their economy having the disease wipe out hundreds of thousands in small economies will devastate them for years in ways that will take decades to recover from.
But dont take my word for it Rabah Arezki, chief economist for the Middle East and North Africa at the World Bank says the exact same.
" The overall deaths/suffering GLOBALLY will be far more worse than the virus"
You've offered no facts or even theories as to why this statement is true. You've just picked it out of your ass. Show me a credible source that says lockdown will result in more deaths globally than the virus. And no one considers alt right "news"sites as credible.
" is it a case of "im alright jack" (for the UK) but fuck the rest of the world.
The very same thing you are accusing the people that want to end lock down of...
"Your healthy,your fine but think of the elderly, your selfish youre going to kill people ...ect ect"
You made up a lie about lockdown causing more deaths and you think that dishonesty gives you the moral high ground? What an alt right thing to do.
" Well reverse psychology will say the ones that want lock down to continue just because your doing ok on furlough or with savimgs are the selfish ones because if EVERY LIFE MATTERS that means every single living human being not just those in the UK.
"
That's not what reverse psychology is. Not even close.
Nowhere in your rambling, dribbling right wing rant did you ever use a fact or even a coherent thought. Lockdown doesnt result in more deaths. The absolute basic level of economic facts would show you that mass die offs are bad for an economy in the short and long term.
Now, maybe youre new to being a disingenuous sociopath who will happily advocate for people dying so your not mildly inconvenienced so really theres 2 ways to reply:
1. You've been called out for the fact that you have nothing to back up your argument. No facts, no figures, no history, nothing. Knowing this you can proclaim that debating someone who will use facts is a waste of time and throw your toys out of the pram and say this discussion isnt worth your time anymore. You know,typical right wing stuff.
2. Continue to dig a hole and double down on your nonsense and complain that theres a conspiracy of worldwide leaders, health experts and media who secretly want to damage the economy for unknown reasons and that's why you cant show us any facts from credible resources. You know, typical alt right wing stuff. |

"Why are so many people obsessed with a vaccine, do they see it as a silver bullet ? Have they done any research into vaccines ? Lets look at one Vaccine from the swine flu epidemic a few years ago. it was called Pandemrix and manufactured by GSK ( Sir Patrick Vallance was a director of GSK, after the swine flu vaccination, but surely will know about it )Any way this vaccine was given to 6 million people, then withdrawn hastily, due to an upsurge in Narcolepsy throughout Europe, some media called it an epidemic, It has been proven in court that the Narcolepsy was caused by the vaccine, GSK admitted failing to carry out the correct safety checks, all Big Pharma are indemnified against any illness injury or death from there products. Any compensation paid out is paid by the British Government from tax payers money. That's just one snippet about one drug. My philosophy is Vaccines are made for profit and not people. And just remember the people that are selling you the panic, are also selling you the vaccine.
Covid has no recognised cure. Can kill anyone from young children to the very old. Someone with lots of health issues to someone fit and healthy. It’s just luck wether you live or die if it hits you hard and you need a ventilator.
Yes people will get wealthy when they find a cure. And unfortunately most medications have some kind of side effect or some people have allergies to what goes in them.
"
Not quite true. Underlying health issues, age and general fitness (obesity mainly) are very significant factors in survival rates.
For example only around 350 under 45s have passed away, that equates to around 1% of the current total. |

Vaccine is part of the armoury, will take ages to implement but ultimately it’s really the only weapon. Too many people have opinions on social media, we have to be led by good science, unlike the USA |

Because a vaccine will save millions of lives. The rest of the world knows that medicines have side effects and sometimes they can be very unfortunate. It's not a surprise to know that a vaccine might cause some problems.
But the pandemrix has not been proven to have caused narcolepsy. The CDC, Stanford University and others say the h1n1 virus is the cause of the increase cases of narcolepsy.
It's also worth noting that the cases of narcolepsy can be measured in the dozens and not millions.
Being anti vax is dumb. |

Hmmm that's a new "fact"
And the number will ALWAYS increase, you can't reduce a cumulative total"
Hmmm you put fact in quotes. Almost like you're trying to imply it's not true without actually trying to refute it. The figures for excess deaths are coming direct from the NHS.
the cumulative number for EXCESS deaths can only get higher if the virus continues killing more and more people than would normally die. |

You'd have thought fabbers would be brave, hardy souls that would be happy to take a bit of a risk and test the waters a bit wouldn't you ?
I mean a lot of us have sex with other people and most vow how careful they are about full swap and using rubbers. So we know how to take responsibility But even so there is a risk of getting STi, many of which kill and are far more debilitating and crippling yet here we are quivering and shaking about a 1% mortality thing. We have become too risk averse. Life is too short and at my age life is going by faster and faster.
The Virus has been subdued and shown to be controlled if we all act responsibly.
Acting responsibly is something most Fabswingers can do. I do miss meeting people for naughty fun but I do see a return to other stuff as slightly more of a priority so will be in no rush to meet.

A lot of people still pay good money to go on holiday to places where malaria is rife. Malaria has and will continue to kill more people than covid-19 ever will.
Lots of Mr Mainwarings need to be told not to panic so much! |

In the whole of 2018 there were 405,000 deaths from Malaria. Covid, without lockdown, would be already be close to that number in 5 months.
There are also vaccines and treatments available for malaria so your point is wrong on every level. You might be more Basil Fawlty than anyone else. |

In my opinion evey country should stay locked down until the last country is ready. This gives an even fair playing field for all.
I don't care if Wuhan is recovered, out of respect they should stay locked down as should Spain Italy and Germany.
Just because they're kicking up a bit of fuss it shouldn't influence us.

That's stupid. No one in Europe closed down when China did. No one else in Europe closed down when Italy did. Why would anyone stay closed down unnecessarily if they are meeting the criteria to start to reopen. |
