Ah "let rip", another lockdown fanatic favourite! Yes asking those who are particularly vulnerable to the virus to shield is really letting rip isn't it? I think lockdowns are totally pointless and massively damaging once a virus has spread which it has

Ironically we didn't need those ventilators we were short of. They did have a ppe problem but also there was a lot of ppe hoarding. They were equipped for ppe for flu not covid. I doubt a week really made a difference in lockdown. Infection rates came down precisely because it was summer, not...

Does this help your perspective?

Well firstly it puts 2020 in perspective away from the hysteria. It was a bad year for deaths, but it wasn't that bad. I would definitely expect the downward curve of deaths to flatten out over time in the UK now as the gains of longer living get more marginal. I wouldn't rule out the odd...

It already is a lottery.

But wierdly I use the same email for both and they both alert me for the same messages. So its not that I have two usernames and accounts. I definitely only have one. I think its more a quirk of the software when I changed my name from Selly to Selwyn

It is defintely seasonal. It could not be more obvious that it is. Look at the infection rates in places where they didn't lockdown. Even here its obvious looking at the ebb and flow of it

I haven't attacked you so thats a strawman

No. Because it isn't our concern to fund Bangladesh really. You may believe in unicorns etc but people do not live for ever. Death is always crap in the end. Even the people in care homes who died of covid didn't die because they coughed to death etc. The immune system becomes so weak people...

That isn't a difficult choice for anyone! Even if 97 year old Doris was my mum and little Jimmy live 10k miles from me. Jimmy always takes priority.

Who is saying that Covid doesn't exist? Not me However it statistically still the case that about 99.5%+ of cases will not result in death.

Because the NHS wasn't overwhelmed. They definitely could have saved a lot of those lives with some interventions. I'm shocked you can't see that. We had a few summer months of a shut nhs.

To be honest I'm doing what needs to be done. Keeping my distance and my contacts reasonably low. I have no objection to that. I do object to the shutting of shops apart from multinationals food shops, I do object to the shutting of schools and the ruination of childrens education when the...

The rate of infection slowed well before lockdown. You can see it on all the data curves. It speeds up fast and then slows. Hospitals are frequently overloaded. Election year we had "people lying in the corridor without beds" didn't we? What makes it worse at the moment is a lot of health...

Of course hosptials get overwhelmed by flu. It happens every so often. Healthcare workers tend to have prior immunity to flu like all of us. How many healthcare workers have died since say, October? I can tell you the number of deaths for health workers from non covid deaths is much much...

No because you were wrong. At some point you lockdown fanatics will have to start facing up to the idea that we will need to get back to normal life.

Its not. You think it will magically stop spreading? No read carefully. I said we do not need the Army to enforce rules under duress - it is not what we do in the UK for the whole populace. Most people are happy with social distancing and the need to give space, wash hands etc. A huge number...

Yet the peaks occurred before lockdown in each case. Funny that....

That was not martial law
