Its not childish at all. We don't need special long covid clinics. We didn't even bother doing special covid hospitals - which genuinely may have helped. Besides 24 million is just publicity stunt Its really really important that you understand that the covid risk is wildly different for age...

Er, not everywhere locked down. Also there were differing "variants" of lockdown throughout the world. The crucial blind spot you have is the assumption that people take zero precautions without a government mandated lockdown. Which is demonstrably untrue

The data is demonstrating an IFR of 0.14%. Ionaddis says about 0.15%. There is no reason to think any of these "variants" are likely to radically change that. Obviously in a microcosm ie a care home, a hospital, a built up area the IFR will be higher For people aged 20-50 the IFR is...

The kent variant didn't destroy our tiered system. Political decisions did. The kent variant spread around the world in no time at all. You think it originated in Kent and then just went round england?

We've made a load of assumptions from day 1. Dodgy modelling and exponential growth for one. There have also been a lot of assumptions about the vaccine. "prevent the next inevitable wave needing lockdowns" - you have swallowed all this hook, line and sinker! Its absolute madness what we...

No need for ad hominem attacks. It will sink in eventually that you have been totally played by all this. Lockdown hasn't proved a saving of a single life, but we do know what harm it has done. Anyway how many people do you know who have died of Covid?

How long are the Covid fanatics planning on wearing their masks for? Indefinitely?

To be honest I think long covid is a thing. Like all post viral syndromes its a thing. But the reality is most people don't get long covid, those who do have symptoms that last for a month, some get a little longer and a smaller amount are badly affected (and probably have other health issues as...

I suppose we could all pretend they should still be alive and thriving?

Which of the variants thus far have behaved particularly different from the initial covid? None. Every few days we see the nervousness ramp up only to peter out again about a certain "variant". Not every country is talking about the "indian" variant. India doesn't even recognise this...

What is childish about it? Do you finally accept that the risk for under 25's is minute and incrementally it the risk is higher as you age. The risk of dying for a 80 year old is many times higher than an under 50. And even if you are 80 the risk is way less than 1 in 100. Statistics and data...

The vaccines have worked. The lockdown wasn't necessary. Particularly 12 months plus of in/out lockdown India. I don't think any countries have particularly managed to control the spread of the virus once its endemic.

Are you finally acknowedging risk for the young is massively less than for the old? If you think covid is still the great threat you claim then I'm stunned that you are not advocating injecting everyone from birth to death

There was a lack of PPE in the beginning. A lot was being hoarded too. It was a tricky situation for sure. There is no doubt covid was all over the country last march and most probably before xmas too. But don't kid yourself nosocomial infection was just in March last year. If you think the...

How many people do you know - exactly you know yourself who have died from covid who weren't pretty old and infirm?

Lockdown is also serious and many people are suffering.

What about the people who have been asymptomatic or even mild ill ie the majority of covid "cases"? Their own immune system has statistically appeared to serve them very well

That funny because there are an awful lot of nosocomial covid cases. It was a massive driver in the number of cases

I think lack of some large gatherings will have helped. As will people not working in offices all day every day. I've said before I've no real issue with a bit of voluntary "social distancing" ke the swedes and americans have done but shutting down pubs and resturants, peoples shops, schools...

You seem very certain about that. All these masks, social distancing and hand sanitisation didn't stop the spread of covid between sept - march did it? Or is it that we were "doing it properly" for flu but not for covid?
