So if 3% of the population die, that's ok with you is it?

2 million people facing the choice between life imprisonment or death in the UK so you can go to the pub.

Seems perfectly reasonable and 'right-thinking'.

You don’t listen much do you ,,,I Don’t DRINK, I hate pubs , I don’t have a lot of time for people whose passion is alcoholic drinks , they tend to be self obsessed bores who think it’s cool to be offensive to others ,,,hmmmm

Obviously people dying because of Covid obsessed policy is ok as long as it saves you from Covid ,, quell surprise

Do you not think 2 million deaths will have a minor effect on the economy?

Do you not think 4 million people dying of undiagnosed cancer And suicide will have a minor effect on the economy?

(I dont seriously think 4 million will die, just showing how easy it is to make a random figure with no supporting evidence up to fit a narrative)

They don’t count , the only thing that matters is Covid ??‍♂️, perhaps if there was a vaccine for cancer then

Too right it doesn’t work that way ,,, we value human life so much that we’ve prioritised the nhs for years and years , there’s been no austerity ?, we value human life so much we let the old freeze every winter , we value life so much that we set corona virus free on care homes ( the very place where it will take lives) at the start of this , never mind the do not resuscitate policy ,

yep it’s all about saving lives for our altruistic leaders ?,

do me a favour , I may not know what’s going on but I do know what isn’t going on

Someone with common sense, ducking hell it's a miracle!

Who is grabbing the money? 

Have a look how many CEO's stepped down shortly before Covid, also look how Amazon etc. are doing compared to medium and small businesses

What do you believe would happen to the nhs, if hospital admissions for covid-19 continues on its current trajectory? 

I know my doctors surgery closed indefinitely today over both it's sites due to covid amongst the staff and it's a big surgery. The text advised to contact 111 in an emergency and the pharmacy for everything else .  Wonderful .

Do you not spot an irony vortex there? "right-thinking folk" is a classic fascist trope - it's all double-think

Anyway - this looks promising, an AI app that can detect covid from coughing/breathing sounds

No doubt the conspiracy theorists will have a meltdown over this one too - as they all sit there with their smart phones learning everything about them anyway

Clever. Do you have to say Alexa first and then cough ?

Obviously online companies and supermarkets are going to do well. As incompetent as this government is, lockdown isn't to grab money, the political and economic damage is such that the govt wouldn't do this wilfully or for conniving reasons. The flow of money is just an unhappy but largely inevitable consequence.

All right, a curry.

Could you please explain what I have said was offensive to you? Was it the mention of alcohol, or was it the insinuation that you value human life so low in the big scheme of things?

Strangely enough, I don't listen - I'm deaf. What I do, as far as messageboards such as this one are concerned, is that I read the messages. Do you do something different?

Irrespective of whether your numbers are correct or not, how, short of waving a magic wand and making Covid-19 go away, could we improve the cancer detection and treatment process?

2 million based on archies 3% figure. If you want to challenge the figures, ask him where he got them from. 

However nobody is able to give me any reason why they are doing this. None at all.

? Wouldn’t someone that had actually read that last page as opposed to just pouncing on something to argue with or contradict as per, know exactly where the figure of 2 million had come from ?

You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to think that the Government have got this completely wrong.

There are plenty of respected medical professionals who also think they are getting it wrong.

It just looks worse because the Government are clearly taking data to fit their narrative, rather than letting the data drive the narrative.

Strangely enough the lock down does not adversely affect me too much as I’m pretty much a family bloke and not really a big socialiser ,work is in construction and Fine so believe it or not ,not everybody that doesn’t see it your way is some kind of scuzzer who’s only care is getting down the pub/ curry house so being accused of that is offensive especially in fairness from someone who’s main obsession as far I can see from posts is beer ,fair comment?

what I do care about are people around me who have far more to worry about than just staying in ,health and livelihood wise ,

you insinuate I value life so low ? I would suggest you consider how much you value life of people who are /will lose they’re s to the alter that is saving Covid lives ,it seems a swap you r ok to make because your supposed Covid vulnerable?

Listening / reading.    Do I do something different ? Yep I reckon I do , why ? Well because I actually read people’s posts and try to get a flavour of what they are about hence I know that Belgium beer delivery being stopped would bring a whole new slant on things whilst you will repeat the pub stuff over and over

Dear me ,it was a highball starting figure , ok what is the figure ? 99.8% of corona virus cases don’t result in death?

strangely enough nobody actually wants to follow up on all this positive tests and publish any figures on how many die or end up in hospital,, you would think that would be a valuable tool

I asked you earlier Archied but you never replied.

What do you think will happen to the nhs if covid-19 admissions continue on the current trajectory? 

One of the main reasons we are locking down is so that the hospitals can continue with elective duties. The nhs are trying to save as many lives as possible whatever the diagnosis.
