You are saying the government can organise peoples lives better than people can organise their own lives which on one level sounds paternalistic but on the other is total overreach. Governments do not organise better than people. The pubs has guidance, they still have guidance, everyone knows...

Ok fine, we can go with that but we also need to redouble the efforts to confirm to people that it is not just covid killing people. There was nowhere near enough iteration of that. Covid was not the only game in town. I don't recall a rolling news conference for all the other deaths of the...

This is exactly why there should not have been a lockdown. People were and are quite capable of arranging their own lifestyles according to risk we don't need government to tell us we are only allowed out for 30 minutes of every day

And the point is we have never recorded deaths like that before either!

Look at Florida, South Dakota, Texas etc. Why are Norway and Sweden similar?

We don't have a Parliament convening to debate it, we ostracise other very well qualified epidimiologists and propagandise one monolithic view of "The Science". So lets put it another way - we are letting 80 people on SAGE decided the future of the country and they are not all qualified to speak...

Except that it is not proven at all. Plenty of other countries haven't locked down. In fact lockdown may even make things worse by keeping people more confined.

Don't leave your bedroom again Robin. Its just too risky.

Its just crazy. Every answer is lockdown but they don't seem to be looking at the evidence that lockdowns do more harm than good. I could accept the first lockdown for a little while as we didn't know what we were dealing with but its just gone way ott. The levels of fear that have been created...

Ah right, so we didn't do it properly enough? Cause of the biggest spike was emptying the hosptials of the elderly into care homes.

Covid is following its familiar pattern. The early growth of the virus is explosive and then it slows rapidly. Its no secret data - positive tests are slowing rapidly now. You have swallowed the continuous exponential growth theory unless there is lockdown - its been disproved so many times now

Er no, I specificlly wrote "as an addendum testing is slowing too". But there is a good reason why that is not the whole story - mainly because more testing tends to dig out more cases.

I'm not sure there have been any transmission incidents of super spreading from pubs or hospitality venues since March 2020? I'm not even sure taxi drivers were particularly high for covid infections? It could be that all these corner shops and supermarkets are incredibly scrupulous and are...

I doubt any of these variants are any more or less transmissible than any others. They are fundamentally the same thing and they are all constantly changing anyway.

You do realise how ebola is spread don't you? Totally different to coronavirus particles

They can't even isolate covid let alone a variant. These variants are not significantly different either

NZ and Oz did not have enough people with the disease to sustain it. It is so crucial to the story. Taiwan, Japan, South Korea had all had SAR and MERS. You need to remember who this disease kills - overwhelmingly the old and the obese. Its really wierd that everyone is trapped in this era of...

My point was that you claimed that someone died because someone else "broke the rules" on Xmas day. The reality is that person sadly died not because anyone broke the rules but because a nasty virus infected them and they were unlucky. The covid virus is so all ubiqutous and everywhere that the...

What about the sector who argue table saws present a risk to society and therefore must all be dismantled and chucked away? No one is saying Covid is a myth.

For the vast majority it won't even be an illness. Their immune system will have fought it off without them knowing.
