Are you cool with mass deaths and thousands being buried together in mass graves? Because that's what it will look like if the health service is overwhelmed.

So they can keep us inside while Bill Gates installs more 5G towers?

Or, to reduce the spread of the virus enough to allow the NHS to continue to function.

You decide.

Letting the kids go to school defeats the object of lockdown. Young kids don’t social distance and barely wash their hands. We will be doing the lock down Hokey Cokey all through 2021 too the way it’s going.

I understand the logic behind a lock down, but then it's gotta be done properly. If schools remain open then it kind of defeats the purpose. Instead of the parents getting it while going to the pub, the kids will just now bring it home from school. One school near me has now had 5 teachers ill in one week and all their pupils isolating. 5 classes with some kids testing positive and carrying it home to parents etc. Think if it's lockdown it needs to be a proper lockdown

To anyone who isn’t capable of understanding simple numbers, the average age of death is higher than the national average (for everything else) therefore the average person will die of old age before they die of covid

On 11 August 2020 the Independent reported that 620 NHS and care workers died as a result of Covid-19.

How many of those workers do you think were over 81?

"Areema Nasreen, a 36-year-old NHS nurse from Walsall in the West Midlands, who was believed to have had no underlying health issues, died shortly after midnight on Thursday in intensive care at Walsall Manor hospital, where she had worked for 16 years"

Aimee O’Rourke in her 30s, mother of three, a NHS employee died of Covid-19. Shall we leave more children without mothers because it's bothersome to wear a mask?

It’s not just about deaths though is it, it’s all those that get sick with it, the need of intensive clinical beds to deal with the thousands in hospital; that’s on top of having to deal with the usual illnesses that need treatment.

Simple scenario, if we just let it run it’s course and the hospitals get full and over capacity, individuals from a car crash or a house fire would unlikely be able to be treated fully as all the icu beds are overwhelmed with covid patients.

Which means that for every person who died at the age of 75 someone died at the age of 87?

For those who don’t understand basic maths that means they would be losing 4.6 years of life.

Of course it's a conspiracy.

All the governments decided to simultaneously trash their economies as a practical joke.

Trump and Johnson thought it would be a good udea to open themselves up to criticism on poor handling of a virus that doesn't exist. Polical suicide for the same practical joke.

I agree with you! I suggested this to someone who I know who is a 'denier' and they said that wouldn't be fair! flippin cheek of it .

My take is if you deny there's a virus that has the potential to kill people , you refuse to protect yourself and everyone else from it and then get ill ? you then must waive your rights to free NHS help and if you need hospital treatment you pay for it yourself with no subsidy .. additionally, you get no help from the government even if your business goes down the tubes either ..

The bulletin earlier made it crystal clear, or I thought it had, quick recap for those who find this difficult to grasp;

Infection rate up

Death rate up

Hospital beds down

NHS nurses doctors, not enough due to illness

Result - all the ‘this is a conspiracy against poor old me cos I won’t get it’ won’t get access to the nhs for any routine treatment or any emergency treatment they may need. This isn’t just about Covid, it’s about everyday life and the frailties of your health.

Exactly. Lockdown happened. What part of explosive growth of a disease do you not understand. We were one week away from the mass graves. This time we may very well be too late.

I really truly dont believe we were. Mass graves will never be a thing.

So the mass graves in Brazil were trick photography? Sneaky...

We arent Brazil. Calling it mass graves sensationalises images of digging a pit and tossing people in, we dont our dead like that.

Even that is still more respectful than thè mass grave fear put out to scare people. I dont doubt the system will be/is put under strain but to use shocking imagery and scare tactics on people is cruel..

"What and why are we locking down for

Please don’t say killer the virus or slow it

Or protect beds , surely we must of learn something, this is ground hog day"

Answers to your questions;

Q) What and why are we locking down for?

A) There's going to be an alien invasion, it's best if we stay indoors. They drink our earwax.

Q) Please don’t say killer the virus or slow it.

A) Lockdown protects us while we're at home. Aliens can't use doorknobs, they don't have opposable thumbs.

Q) Or protect beds

A) We ARE protecting beds. We need them to hide under in case the aliens develop opposable thumbs.

Hope that helps.

Are you cool with mass deaths and thousands being buried together in mass graves? Because that's what it will look like if the health service is overwhelmed.

Slight exaggeration, didnt they say that first time round and we never got nearly that bad, yes, yes *lockdown happened but still.

The rules on funerals are not due to volumes of people dying, but to minimise gatherings of people from different households. As awful as it is, that's the reason.

And what, if not lockdown, prevents us from becoming like Brazil?

Brazil has mass graves because their president Jair Bolsonaro, was a covid denier like many of the people on this forum.

To summarise...

Brazil has mass graves because they didn't have lockdown.

We don't have mass graves because we had lockdown.

Conclusion: We shouldn't have lockdown but still not expect mass graves?
