among the under seventies is negligible , and so even if they
contract corona they will not suffer any lasting effects from it?
The over seventies have only to carry on following the advice they
have been for the past few months untill things stabilize!!
Just my take on this issue? I might add that l am well into my
eighties and so cannot be accused of bias in any direction !!

The media has blown Covid out of all proportion and frightened people to death. It has been recognised right from the start that the older generation would bear the brunt of this virus and should therefore have been protected while the younger end of society could have been allowed to carry on as usual and keep the economy ticking over. Saving lives and maintaining a healthy economy are equally as important because reducing people into poverty would still produce the same loss of life as the virus. Perhaps even a greater loss of life as we might be going to find out.

proportion!
I have not seen anybody dropping dead in the streets nor do l know
of one person i my neighbourhood that has had covid let alone have
died from covid??
Obviously this does not mean covid does not exist, only that we
have misjudged its effects on the general populace!!
Also our methods of keeping records of cases leaves a lot to be
desired, god knows how our banks operate??

Imo we should base our actions on evidence?
Which so far points to actual fatalities being quite low if based on
total population figures and as l stated earlier are almost totally
restricted to the over seventies!!

The primary reason for this was of course the militant unions !!
