    If you think it better that we reopen the pubs, footy grounds et al, then please explain your thinking. Otherwise I will continue to listen to our health "experts", which include ordinary doctors and nurses. Unless you think that they are plotting against us as well?
    The NHS staff are just pawns in the New World Order game 59er. A precedent has been set. This "lockdown malarkey" will become the new norm.

    health experts - 59' ?......the same (Mad Cow) health expert that screwed up the modeling on BSE....causing the unncecessary slaughter of over 4 million cattle and...its consequencies - but just a minute - who's idea was that - oh, some fruitloop called Prof Neil Ferguson.....but wait a minute - theres a Neil Feguson advising the Government on fuzzy Cornopop - he's the one who said that the "resulting epidemic would likely result in an estimated 250,000 deaths and therefore overwhelm the health system".....but that was then , as on 25 March...when questioned by a Gov Science and Technology Committee - he said the deaths could be about 20 thousand, of older age with existing health problems and that the Hospitals would be able to easily handle it.....that "Expert !?!

    Norder, Prof Ferguson said that if we took no action the result could be around 250,000 deaths.

    He also said at the time that if the Government implemented the suggested measures then we could get away with 20,000 deaths.
    Please keep up.

    Still bloody awful, but worth doing?

    the 250,000 deaths.....was a model of the first scenario - slowing the spread, home isolation of cases - and social distancing of the over 70's, the hospitals would still be overwhelmed - and even in the second scenario, of an entire population lockdown, and previous to his 25th march conference....I see nothing mentioned of a 230.000 difference, or any amendment to that number - where did "you" see it 59 ? - as we've been continualy reminded that a massive death toll was coming.....so much so, that only a few days ago, my Hospital contact told me that a Doctor said to them - "they were sick of waiting for it".

    Norder, for clarification, here is Prof Fergusons report.You don't have to agree with it!

    The report says that around 250K could die if the Government did nowt.
    If the Government DID act then the death rate would be reduced to around 20K

    Luckily, the Government DID act.

    Yes, it is no longer considered a HCID (as of 19th March)

    This may help to explain it. It makes sense to me anyway!

    could you tell me the date of the article - and give me a copy/paste of the exact wording - 59"....again I know of no mention of the Ferguson upto 20,000 (death rate) amendment previous to his meeting with the Science and Technology Committee on 25th march - if so, that would actually be even more astounding - just as the the HCID downgrade was only 1 day before the Goverment lockdown....that link I posted on the 24-03-2020 btw....and Bozo is talking of an even tougher lockdown ?




    Cheers.
