Yet more lies perpetuating panic

It wouldn't be all those people alive.

Sage minuted meeting with Boris and cabinet....."the public ain't sufficiently scared enough"

Remember ave age of death with covid mentioned on death certificate is 83.

Remember very few deaths under the age of 65 with no underlying, measured in the low hundreds.

Are the numbers tragic.....yes

Do I think it justifies lockdown....no

Do I think lockdown has saved many people.....in my opinion....no.

Do I think all our lives will be changed forever if people keep on allowing this to happen.....defo yes.

I firmly believe this is now western Govts default posistion and I find the meek acceptance of it extrodinary and terrifying.

Was all gonna be better with the vaccine......apparently not now and any new bogeyman they pull out now when they feel like it will result in restrictions.

Generations to come will ask why.....if they are allowed.

I am pretty certain that lockdown has had a negative effect on a lot of people. I am also certain that the vast majority of under 65s will survive covid.

But if lockdown saves grannies and grandad only, then it is surely worth it.

Take covid out of it, and lockdown is horrendous, but argue that lockdown can be adapted. Make sure people who are not coping get the help they need. Make sure that people who are ill can get medical help. Find a way to let family see each other,but the principle of lockdown is sound. The drop in cases during lockdown one show that.

Lockdown is far from perfect,but you can't let perfect be the minimum level,otherwise you would do nothing.

A decade of tory austerity has led to the early deaths of around 150,000 people, far more than covid. strangely none of the right-wing fascist journos have expressed any sympathy at all.
