Has anyone changed their sceptical opinions on covid?

By *ools and the brain OP Couple over a year ago

couple, us we him her.

Obviously we have had many threads started or contributed to by covid sceptic's.

Let's not go down the conspiracy theory discussion again.

What I would like to know, if anyone is brave enough to come forward and admit that they have changed their minds completely and now understand the danger of covid?

Alternatively has anyone gone the other way?

A friend of mine is in his 60s and has bad copd,his wife was given a year to live a while ago and they both tested positive for covid 10 days ago. They were both slightly ill for a couple of days and now feel fine. I’m not sure why but one thing I do know is the media and government are blowing this virus out of all proportion! Something is not right. Obviously people are dying but are they dying with covid or from covid?

people are dying with covid not as many are dying from covid as they make you believe.

also virus does exist but indeed blown out of proportion by the media and governement. it might sound harsh but we are supposed to die we are creepling the economy, the future and life of young peoples to try and save peoples that have already lived their life. i would be happy to pass if i ever get to 80+ death is part of life and can not be stopped fact.

It’s good your friends pulled through, there is no rhyme or reason why some get it worst than others.

I’ll give you an example... last Thursday a family friend felt exhausted, had his usual weekly test at work and it came back positive. Friday at home isolating complete lack of energy, by Saturday he was struggling to breathe, transferred to hospital Saturday evening straight into ICU. Got his blood pressure and breathing under control, 24 hrs later Sunday evening transferred to a ward, talking, eating still feeling tired but everything else under control. He died 4 hours later from a heart attack, early hours of Monday.

So in my opinion not blown out of proportion at all, it’s out there, did he he die of covid or because of covid? you don’t know when it is going to strike or how it will effect you so do the one thing being asked and stay home where you have no valid reason to go out.

Have never liked this death 28 days after a positive test criteria, and the complete lack of transparency from the government. So you could get run over leaving the test centre does that count in the figure? Who knows

Does it exist yes, do I know anyone who has had it and known they had it at the time, no. So personally I have not seen first hand the impact of it.

The key to this is the narrative... for nearly a year now the “cautious” have been talking about what could happen, the risk, the seriousness of the situation and most importantly the potential for a disastrous outcome.

The detractors have played the dumb it down card, rubbishing the science, the risk, the chance of infection etc.

But here we are... the worst outcome has started, it’s costing us 1,000 lives plus a day and age etc no longer applies, if you’re in hospital it’s a game of chance if you can get enough treatment to survive.

From Covid... with Covid... excuse me but shut the fuck up with that ridiculous line. 28, 34, 42, 44, 45, 47, 58, 62, 67, 72, 72, 75... that’s the ages of those who died on my last ward shift, the virus killed them all, it’s not even a discussion, there’s fkn grey area. I’m glad if one of you is happy to die age 80, I’m not so sure you’d be so happy to see your kids or grandkids pass away though.

We have plenty of young, fit and healthy people come into us heading towards death... they have an advantage, they are strong enough to survive through the ordeal we go through to save their lives... they are far from invulnerable, the weeks ahead will have awful outcomes for many of them and their families.

I can also put my hands up to similar thinking and a change.

Even though I work first hand with devastating effects of lockdown I now accept given the last 6 months and the shit state of affairs these last few weeks we have no choice but to lockdown. K also think we have done it far to late sadly.

No, my opinion is the same, have taken this virus very seriously from the start. Due to a very ill family member. Sadly lost that family member when she caught covid from being in hospital. Died alone without family by her side. Alough she was ill, her life was cut short by covid.

It's difficult to avoid reacting to personal experience but if you shut all that out and look at the vast amounts of available high level data in the public domain from highly reputable sources such as WHO, ONS etc you don't really need to be a professional data analyst to see that it is reasonably serious (as in the 1918 flu epidemic was probably around 250 times more serious (medically speaking and that was really tame compared to black death that killed 60% of the population!) but on the other hand there have been statistically significant changes in death rates), but the response has been inappropriate and in times to come I'm fairly sure this will be textbook stuff on how NOT to respond to a crisis and remembered as a financial and governmental disaster, not a medical one. However, that doesn't count as a reason not to stay within the law! Looking on the bright side our children may not be as wealthy and privileged as we were (on average), but at least they'll be alive and healthy - which is not something you could have said with any certainty in 1918 and you'd have been mad to even hope for that in 1535!

My point wasn't to do with an out break on a plane, it was to take a situation and place it into perspective, because going from slowing the spread to increasing the spread could have myself and others wonder is social distancing and wearing a mask worth it.

You’re talking about three completely different ages though. Perhaps if you want to compare the three events look at survival rates for the times. The easiest comparison is welfare, we have casualties for medival, ww1 and current conflicts...

1:1 was the ratio of dead to wounded in medieval conflicts, 1:12 for ww1 Tommy’s and 1:250 in modern warfare... medical advances, facilities etc have massively improved and altered likely outcomes. It’s the same for treating pandemic patients in each age.

There’s a very strong case that covid-19 is more devastating than the previous two events, it has global reach which the others didn’t, it is far from over and when eventually we have enough data and insight to see it’s impact on the poorest nations in the world we may then understand it’s true scale.

Without our medicine... we’d have over 250,000 deaths by now with no sign of the virus easing up. We don’t know how future mutations will affect our fatality rates or indeed vacinne hopes so I think we are wise not to dumb down covid-19 just yet.

The thing that now concerns me more is the fact about the Pfizer vaccine. The manufacturer and the uk government hailed it as a breakthrough and gave specific information in it's regard. Storage, delivery and administration.

However, the government has gone against the instructions from the manufacturer and against the advice of the WHO and took the 2nd injection from 3 weeks to 12 weeks. If either the manufacturer or the WHO had backed that decision, I'd be content but they definitely haven't. So, no Pfizer jab for me.

Good points but both those pandemics were global, the entire world population is pretty much immune to both now.

re the last para actually 1.9 million have already died with (not necessarily of) it. If you only meant UK then that's a hard number to believe given that there are only 3M confirmed cases and the vast majority never get anywhere near a hospital! Data is pretty poor though, apparently 1.5M of our cases are still active, which cannot possibly be true in reality so you'd have to assume that probably just means that they've not been tested since. Obviously there's also the vast army who have had it but were never tested, pretty sure that includes me.

"Good points but both those pandemics were global, the entire world population is pretty much immune to both now.

The world population is not immune to either H1N1 influenza (the 1918 pandemic strain) or Yersinia pestis (the causal organism of the Black Death aka bubonic plague).

H1N1 flu went pandemic in 2009/10 (remember swine flu?) and the high rate of mutation in influenza viruses mean that once a flu season is over, the next one will involve sufficiently different genetic variants that we are just as susceptible again. That's why the flu vaccine is amended every year.

Yersinia pestis is a bacterial infection. It is still prevalent in Central Europe/Eurasia, parts of Africa including Madagascar and in North America. There are two main reasons far fewer people die of it. The first is simple - antibiotics. If we'd had antibiotics in the 1300s and 1600s, there'd have been no global pandemic at all. The second is that ecosystem loss around the world has lead to a decline in the animal species that host the fleas which carry the disease.

"Good points but both those pandemics were global, the entire world population is pretty much immune to both now.

We’ve had 250k critical care covid admissions in the U.K. during this pandemic.

The point I was making is even in 1918 we would have lost the majority of these. Ventilation, steroids, blood therapy etc was not an option then.

I think it’s the great failure of any of these posts is the lack of understanding surrounding “those who live”, the effort expended keeping them alive, their long term issues which will be there for the remainder of their lives.

It’s the same as say Afghanistan... a mere 400 odd KIA’s for the British army but the conflict created more limbless British soldiers than the entirety of the Battle of the Somme.

Using death tolls in isolation tells us nothing of the seriousness of the virus, it also disguises the true potential for disaster should the medical intervention we offer be compromised.

I believe there was a virus but it's not as infectious as they say and dangerous to elderly and people with underlying health problems.

Well it may be that they're running out of nurses as they've all left to join agencies where they get more money and can control their working hours and avoid being overworked due to the H&S working hours law loophole that allows employers to beast anyone in a job that requires 24hr operation.

That's a bit speculative but if it's happened in one hospital as I've been told....

So much smoke and mirrors involved - e.g. statements like "40% of the people in hospital have C19" might mean that the hospital is being overrun with them, or it might mean that they've cancelled every routine admission and the hospital is actually almost empty! You need to look really carefully at the wording of everything the CMO, Govt, etc say these days, almost all of it could be interpreted 2 ways. And if politicians are not being explicit then you can generally be fairly sure that the less obvious interpretation is closer to the truth.

Don't know why people have to be nasty. In the first wave I was quite sceptical as never knew anyone or even anyone who knew anyone who had it and wasn't so slavish about it but this time round it seems lots of people I know have been affected somehow and I've become a lot more careful and worried about it so yes I've definitely changed my mind and behaviour in this wave xx

I think it’s a case that thanks to restrictions we have slowed transmission and given time such some who would otherwise have otherwise died will get the vaccine and be protected.. sadly recent events means this numbers ultimately saved from death or serious injury is now going to be far fewer than it could have been

You were sceptical and remain sceptical, in other words?

Likewise flight man, who remains sceptical because people sit near to each other on the flight, despite having to wear masks as they would in public places on the ground and mandatory negative test results needed before flying etc.

The black death (bubonic plague) that killed 60% population still exists but thanks to modern medicine (antibiotics), deaths would be minimal nowadays. This would back up your warfare survival rates. It is very hard to compare previous outbreaks from history.

Some people think that some with underlying health conditions that get covid die and covid is put on the death certificate as a matter of convenience

Thus insinuating the covid figures are an untrue figure..

I think lots of people with underlying health conditions could go on living for years/decades so I think covid on the death certificate is a valid consideration

The government doesn't force people to smoke nor drink alcohol even though both are very dangerous at this time they both provide a health warning and eventually will kill but would it stop a person smoking or drinking alcohol some people don't even when they know they have a illness which is killing them

Not in regards to covid although more so with the vaccine

As it was first being discussed i was very skeptical and thought I'd rather wait and see the effects of the vaccine on others as I didn't trust such a short trial phase

However as any good professional healthcare worker would do, i did my research and concluded that I'm happy with the process and was extremely impressed with the design of the vaccine (RNA).

It affects the strongest part of the human body the immune system that helps fight off bacteria I myself am very healthy and I can go without any colds or flu for several years but when I do get a cold I get the full package for weeks or months and I still find inner strength to continue this virus began around September 2019 because just like myself and many others we felt very ill flu like symptoms mine lasted a month was ok few days then boom caught again my immune is a healthy one and a lot counts on what you eat rich foods herbs and spices have loads of purpose for the health benefits remember before medication we have now people didn't have that and through generations people are still doing it it's knowledge

Your right that a lot depends on your lifestyle and what you eat and such, but some viruses/diseases don't recognise lifestyle choices, think polio, smallpox, chickenpox among others that attacked all lifestyles and were only all but eradicated by mass immunisation. True covid so far mostly only effects the most vulnerable, but it is mutating at such speed and who knows what it will further bring, that the only answer again I think is mass immunisation

I understand what you're saying but just like a majority of the population is on medication all these have long term illnesses which also kill so why it's controlling the symptoms of the illness it's creating another illness which can be far greater and eventually the body only relying on medication otherwise the individual dies many serious illnesses were created by medicine and passed on through generations that's why some are born with issues it's a known fact that medication damage the human body some people don't realise they don't need to continue taking them but have they tried without and without doctors permission

Yeah the avoidance of taking any type of medication would be great but in this day and age not avoidable and I think mass vaccination has protected more lives than it has destroyed. Unfortunately over periods of time in our history, for millenniums peoples immune systems have been destroyed and I don't think this has soley been the cause of medication

The pharmaceutical industry is a billion or even trillion pound market if people weren't made to continue taking medication when it was unnecessary without knowing it wouldn't be as huge as it is yet it causes more deaths then those who have an addiction to drugs alcohol or smoking and things like turmeric which has huge medical purposes when found was used by hospitals in surgery on a patient it's not just a anti-inflammatory but a very useful herb that the human body needs as for lifestyle of the human population it's all about balance knowing your balance as just like anything it's going to make you unwell it's having the correct proportion people lack knowledge not all but many and need to look back to understand rather than what's Infront

Yeah a natural remedy and things like tumeric are great, but some of these natural remedies need to be taken in such huge amounts that the benefits are not always seen. It would be great if everyone could stick to natural remedies other than a doctors medication but in this day and age the doctors remedy is often unavoidable. True pharmaceutical companies are out to make the big buck, but all medication recommendation as viable to doctors are first passed by an independent organisation using stringent tests. It is just part of life nowadays that some have to rely on medication to survive. I don't think this is part of one huge conspiracy

If the government had acted when they first heard about it. All borders should have been closed. No one in . No one out. Then no need for people coming back and self isolating which most never did. That was the first big mistake and start of the spread. I said it then I stand by it. We are not strict enough. Our police have no enforcement. They are not 100% to blame but that would have helped. The rest is found to the idiots who have a mind of their own and refuse to believe its real. Until we all realise it is our lives will continue in lockdowns till we get a grip of this pandemic

What exactly are you 'not buying', as your post conflates incorrect things with others? This virus is not a type of flu, it's totally different category of virus that is not related and has very different physical characteristics.

In a thread asking for those sceptics who have become believers, you post and link government health conspiracies into the mix.

Your right if the government acted quickly and responsibly to this the UK wouldn't be in this rediculously bad position on having one of the worst records in the world for covid deaths. The post you replied to mentioned if any other UK government could have done better. Would like to think so that anyone else could not have made a bigger cockup than this current inept bunch of government idiots who have presided over a death toll to be ashamed of, and as an island nation that could so easily have been avoided. Anyway the question of if Labour, Liberals or whoever would have coped better should not come into it. The main task of any government is to keep the populas safe, and bumbling Boris and his motley crew should be locked up for having needlessly caused so many deaths. He had the hindsight of seeing other nations having to cope with this virus and learned nothing, not a jot. Those nations that have dealt best with this pandemic are those that closed their borders almost immediately, apart from Asian nations who are good at dealing with this type of thing, take New Zealand and Australia. Australia's death count is under 30,000 and that's from a nation with many many more millions than Britain has. The only reason Britain is in this covid position is because of this inept and useless government. But Boris is learning he is at Las bringing in some sort of border control. Only took a year for it to register with him hahahahahaha

Few examples most people that died we was told covid killed them and had underlying conditions was always covid that killed them not the other condition.

If something so bad it kills everyone that catches it old and young

And if you die of heart attack 21 days of having covid it goes on your death certificate as covid

Why was Brazil Italy etc on news showing 1000 of death a day now nothing

Even China back up and running

And in lockdown one on the news Italy had 1000s of death but the airport was taking loads of flight a day with no checks nothing

I just find it very strange and last thing we keep going on about the Stop at home to Save the NHS but who been cutting funds to it and privatised loads of it

And coz of not enough money going into social care the hospital are also care homes that has 1000s in beds that shouldn’t be their

It is a highly contagious virus so it is a serious problem. Cancer is a different kettle of fish. It is not contagious. I dispute the theory that figures are being distorted because people with underlying health conditions are having covid put on their death certificate. So is that to say it okay these people are dying anyway so just put their illness on the death certificate instead of covid. People with underlying heath conditions, heart problems, diabetes, whatever. Who's to say they would not live a normal life for years or decades later. So I think covid is the ultimate cause of death for the vast majority of these people so covid on the death certificate is valid.

Australia has only had 909 deaths from about 28,000 cases of covid.

Australia has a population of 25 1/2 million people so is over less of the population of Great Britain. It is also it much larger country in land mass compared to our country.

They also contained it in areas by complete lockdown and travel bans between states and enforced it. Also the block of flats where the residents couldn’t leave as they had police outside. They also followed the rules a lot better than we did.

It is also a lot further to travel to from other countries so easier for them to police their land borders.

Yes we could of handled this a lot better but hard when some people can not follow common sense and basic respect for the health and welfare of other people.

"A friend of mine is in his 60s and has bad copd,his wife was given a year to live a while ago and they both tested positive for covid 10 days ago. They were both slightly ill for a days and now feel fine. I’m not sure why but one thing I do know is the media and government are blowing this virus out of all proportion! Something is not right. Obviously people are dying but are they dying with covid or from covid?

people are dying with covid not as many are dying from covid as they make you believe.

Do we stop giving medical care to the elderly now and at what point do we call elderly, 80,70,60,50.All these ages seem old if you are young enough, and why just for covid Will we get to the point of just pushing road victims to the side of the road.

My point is we cant just draw a line and say some death are acceptable we must care for everybody because by somebody's definition we will all be on the wrong side of the line at some time

Australia's death count is under 30,000 and that's from a nation with many many more millions than Britain has. The only reason "Britain is in this covid position is because of this inept and useless government. But Boris is learning he is at Las bringing in some sort of border control. Only took a year for it to register with him hahahahaha ha"

Can i just ask what you mean by 'from a nation with many many more millions than Britain has'

Have you signed a ADRT in that case? "

Absolutely, put your money where your mouth is if you believe nature should just take its course. I'll bet you'd feel differently if it ever becomes yourself fighting to breathe in a covid ward.

Population of Australia is 25.5 million thats almost a third of the populatin of Britain spread over a far larger land mass, not a good comparison in my opinion and factually incorrect

Is there a way that all over-70s could be put in camps? Beyond the outer limits of towns, cities and villages? Supplies could be dropped in by helicopter.

Someone on twitter suggested they could be called 'Olditz'.

"I still believe we’re being lied to coz what doesn’t make sense always a lie

I do believe there covid but don’t believe it’s as Bad as media makes out..

Few examples most people that died we was told covid killed them and had underlying conditions was always covid that killed them not the other condition.

If something so bad it kills everyone that catches it old and young

And if you die of heart attack 21 days of having covid it goes on your death certificate as covid

Why was Brazil Italy etc on news showing 1000 of death a day now nothing

Even China back up and running

And in lockdown one on the news Italy had 1000s of death but the airport was taking loads of flight a day with no checks nothing

I just find it very strange and last thing we keep going on about the Stop at home to Save the NHS but who been cutting funds to it and privatised loads of it

And coz of not enough money going into social care the hospital are also care homes that has 1000s in beds that shouldn’t be their

I know I’ve gone of the question a bit

But my mind not change their is a virus but not as bad as where made to believe

Cancer is more of a problem

China just looked down 11m of its population because of a cluster, and have been doing so past year. Their citizens do as they are told also.

Italy had 620 deaths yesterday, brazil 962.

Cant catch cancer."

True Cancer isn't contagious however as they claim that 1 in 2 will suffer from cancer I think they have a point that it's a bigger problem than Covid.

It’s good your friends pulled through, there is no rhyme or reason why some get it worst than others.

But as they will not do an Autopsy you will never know if he had an underlying heart condition also so you cannot attribute hos death to covid either!

Well that’s where you are wrong, they are doing an autopsy

I've suggested similar a few times. It's weird how people get offended when it's presented in this way, yet they happily say the old and vulnerable should stay home and shield so everyone else can live normally.

You know I started this thread in the hope that people had managed to understand and see the true scale of the covid crisis and that common sense had prevailed.

I included the additional have you gone the other way just for the sake of balance.

Yes there's been a few replies of people changing their minds.

But I am still absolutely gobsmacked by the amount of people who still believe it's a con.

It's a conspiracy.

It doesn't matter as it only kill's the old and sick.

The whole" dying with covid instead of but still blaming covid" brigade.

And it goes on.

I personally think that there's people who just don't want to believe, they are trying to be alternative and anti establishment, see themselves as smart because they found an article that coincides with their opinion.

Despite overwhelming evidence that covid is here.

People still refuse to believe.

So not wanting to start a whole new thread.

I want to ask the sceptic's a couple of simple questions.

I don't want rambling ten page answers and comparisons to flu and cancer just some simple answers.

So.

Why are the government lying?

And what do you think they hope to gain from doing so?

Why would the entire NHS staff lie, my wife included, and all the people who have had covid, not the mild sniffles but full on omg symptoms (myself included)

Why would we lie to what end?

I don’t doubt it’s existence. I do doubt the recording of deaths and think all the figures are screwed in order to spread fear. I don’t believe the hospitals are much busier than they would be at this time of year. I don’t like the idea of the vaccine, don’t like that it may be forced on people, don’t like how quickly it was developed. I hate the attitude of people who have all become covid experts and belittle, shout down and generally abuse people with an unpopular opinion. I detest that people I know and many others have had cancer treatments postponed. The fear in this country is unbelievable and the fact that the majority of people will survive covid is rarely talked about. It’s all death, death, death. The media reporting is extremely biased and often dangerous as people don’t understand they only release what they want us to know / think. That’s my take on it anyway

"Obviously we have had many threads started or contributed to by covid sceptic's.

Let's not go down the conspiracy theory discussion again.

What I would like to know, if anyone is brave enough to come forward and admit that they have changed their minds completely and now understand the danger of covid?

Alternatively has anyone gone the other way?

When I first saw the news around Covid, it's effects and how quickly it was spreading it frightened the life out of me.

Now I'm seeing the deniers, those who refuse to follow the guidance, look for ways to "get around" the recoomendtions despite the mountains of reliable and credible information that's available and the case numbers rising every day, I'm even more frightened.

As I said on a previous thread.

If you get shot and a bullet rips through your body causing organ failure and death.

You died due to organ failure, but as a result of the bullet.

Think of covid as a bullet causing catastrophic damage.

It may not be the cause of death but death comes as a result of.

They are in care homes to be cares for not to be put their because of their age. How big are these places you're suggesting? There's nearly 9 million over 70's in this country.

You woukd be happy that your parents are rounded up and put in a sealed camp outside of a town and have more security than the concentration camps had.

Do you think they can't organise escape committees? Have you thought how many camps you'd have to have to house 9 million over 70's plus provide round the clock medical care, security details, maintainance crews, Red Cross parcels? Helicopter crews? So, are you nominating your parents for in mates?

Why do we need a police state when our own citizens can arrange this?

So, if you actually got shot by a real bullet and died as you put BUT you'd be tested positive in the previous 28 days, why would Covid be put on the death certificate or even counted in the daily tally. They died of the effects of the bullet not Covid

Yes I do. I had a friend who died in a multiple vehicle accident. He had been in hospital with Covid in April and recovered and went back to work. He died from his injuries directly as a result of the accident. His death certificate also had Covid on it and he was in the count. Covid played absolutely no part in his death.

People need to understand that the figures produced are people dying WITH Covid, not because of it. I wish some department would produce genuine figures of people who died because of Covid.

Up till November, alzhiemers and dementia were the biggest causes of death. Does nobody die of Sepsis anymore?

The current excess deaths are around 18% higher than in normal years. OK, 18% is very serious but that's the EXCESS deaths not the 70+ thousand.

Respect the virus by all means as I do. I comply with the regulations, guidelines and the law. I wear a mask as and when required. I've curtailed my exercises. I only shop for essential goods, as in food when required. I never have delivery people coming as it's just as likely they can bring the virus.

I have my own bubble and I'm compliant with the law.

And one more thing

More have and wiill die BECAUSE of covid

Not from it

Right, ok. But what's that got to do with Covid?

Too be honest with you herbal remedies are more powerful than medication itself but just like medication you have to be careful as you can still overdose plus your body absorbs it much easier most medicine is coated with film to make it easier to swallow which again can be harmful to the health but covid19 is here and it's best to be careful as a lesson learnt

There’s an island of Kent called Sheppey and only one road on / off, it would be ideal

In real terms, what difference do you expect to see in the covid figures should the reporting be changed and why?

Is it fair to say that you could die from Covid but if you didn’t have a positive test in the last 28 days - then you wouldn’t be marked as covid death either?

In fact it's more like a grenade than a bullet but hopefully you get the point?

Do you have 100% undeniable proof that this has happened or is it just hearsay and Karen on Facebook saying so?

Ahhh the old Karen on Facebook bollox, I'm not on Facebook,your anologies are stupid beyond belief, I want to see figures of death from covid become public, not those 28 day bollox figures

In real terms, what difference do you expect to see in the covid figures should the reporting be changed and why?

Is it fair to say that you could die from Covid but if you didn’t have a positive test in the last 28 days - then you wouldn’t be marked as covid death either? "

How would you it's covid? Could be anything, it would be marked down a covid death, everything else seems to be

"I agree, how can they give a true account of covid deaths when they're counting all deaths testing positive in the last 28 days.

I would like to see death count of actual deaths from covid, I think its on ONS but I haven't had time to look

Look people need to understand it like this.

As I said on a previous thread.

If you get shot and a bullet rips through your body causing organ failure and death.

You died due to organ failure, but as a result of the bullet.

And the reason I'm asking for true figures is that it's figures what are dictating the tiers we are in, which makes a big difference to everybody

Exactly my point - so if more deaths are counted as being caused by covid due to having a positive test in the last 28 days, is this not counteracted by the deaths from Covid which didn’t have a positive test in the last 28 days and therefore would not be counted in these figures.

"All I’m really skeptical about are the actual true stand alone covid deaths from pure covid alone "

"Is there a way that all over-70s could be put in camps? Beyond the outer limits of towns, cities and villages? Supplies could be dropped in by helicopter.

Someone on twitter suggested they could be called 'Olditz'.

Are you guys for real??

These comments must be a piss take?

If not and you genuinely believe that then there is something completely wrong with your moral compass.

That's like saying errm I dunno...

Let's stick all disabled people on an island to fend for themselves that way able bodied people can go on as normal.

What the hell is wrong with people, are you trying to wind people up and get a response is that it?"

You misunderstand.

I am making the point that people saying the old and vulnerable should stay indoors and avoid all human contact is the same as saying they should be put in isolation camps away from their family and friends.

Or when people say it doesn't matter that the majority of people dying are over 80, because their life is over and they'd die anyway. That's the same as saying they should be culled to allow everyone else out to live again.
