I’ll kick things off with COVID-19, is it getting a bit much now? Should we return to normal? |

I think to return to normal is asking for trouble.
There seems to be a large group of people who think we returned to normal long ago.
I agree that for the majority of people only have a mild illness and recover well but the fact that nobody knows if they will be one of the lucky ones,the risk is still to great.... |

For some of us, there's no 'should' about it. Some of us have a good chance of dying if we get this virus - and it's not controlled yet. Over 100+ people are still dying every day.
I understand people's need to get a little bit of normality back, but we can't just all act like this isn't happening. Things have to be done in a sensible way. |

I understand where you are coming from.
But people gave to work to keep the roof over their heads. |

Over a hundred dying from covid-19 yes, but death rates above the normal are now climbing. They are putting it down to people dying now of other things because the NHS shut down. You can't win people will die, just not sure of what. |

Would you not say people who’re at risk from the virus are also at risk of other illnesses such as a cold?
Illnesses which we take for the norm but have similar symptoms and consequences to the coronavirus?
I’m neither saying I’m for or against, I’m more intrigued to other people’s opinions. |

"Definitely back to normal with those most at risk deciding what precautions they are going to take , think we all now know if we are in the at extra risk group "
There are still unknowns, such as viral sepsis, meningitis, encephalitis. |

Not as it was before at the moment. People have to get back to work, where it is safe to do so. I agree with opening up places ,but people still need to remember the virus is still out there, so continue to follow the guidelines  |

In my opinion, no it’s too soon. The infection and death rates are still too high.
This virus is not just killing and permanently disabling old and sick people, it’s having a devastating effect on the young, fit and healthy too. My sister works with a lady who was very badly affected by the virus. She spent 4 weeks in ICU on a ventilator and had only just been discharged from hospital, 6 weeks after she went in. She has been left with such serious lung damage which means she may not be able to return to work in the future. She is in her 40’s, very fit and active with no underlying health conditions |

Interesting points here.
I wonder how this will change the future ie airports, transport, large gatherings for shows etc etc.
Everyone should generally be washing their hands and upholding a high level of person hygiene anyway (clearly some don’t) however children/teenagers of today will have it almost instilled into their everyday life to uphold it. Which will be good! Do you think that will have a negative effect on the strength of their immune systems?? |

I agree. We're rushing too quickly, with too many major changes simultaneously or almost immediately. And many people are blinded in thinking it's a quick bug that affects very vulnerable people.
If things get worse, we'll be unsure which changes had the worst effects, so will not be clear which to stop and later on to reopen.
The young seemingly get a higher level of asymptomatic infection but can easily pass it on to anyonem. That concerns me, lots of active, freespirited younger people who look healthy but aren't, who are socially gregarious and don't see their vulnerability etc. They are the most likely to want to party and not to stay home now freedom is opening up. |

You're getting a free pass to enjoy your life for a while during the safest time of the year because more than likely there will be more social restrictions come winter and colder weather so enjoy life while you can because it's too precious to waste.
Or keep yourself locked up if you choose, it's a free(ish) country. |
