O/T Coronavirus Thread (3)

[Lasterman]

Slighty topical on here from SMH article:

"Why the sudden change? The government had just been handed a bombshell piece of research by scientists from Imperial College London warning that taking a light-touch approach to the virus would cause 250,000 deaths in Britain and overwhelm the National Health Service (NHS). Any hope of defeating the virus by building "herd immunity" in the community was smashed. The only way to prevent 250,000 deaths was through draconian measures, the researchers concluded."

Research headed up by a man who took his own conclusions so seriously that he ignored them in favour of a bunk up with a woman whose husband he believed to have Coronavirus. You really couldn't make this stuff up.

It's a damming article Wanchai and I've read it in full .

I don't know what to say right now to be honest .

Struggling for the right words so I'll leave it .

Germany's not exactly the Australian Outback .

Germany is about 230 people per square km

England it’s about 430 per sq km

We are overcrowded and now we’re paying for it.

You don't have to , some people in high positions think they can do whatever they want and nowt applies to them .

The orange buffoon in the White House is the premier example .

Even the New York Times is shaking its head in bewilderment at us .

Vast becoming a laughing stock this country .

I think I know where your going with this with your historical footprint on this board .

Now I agree with you that immigration is a huge issue and needs scaling down but I'm far from a convinced it has contributed to the UK having the death toll it sadly has .

In fact you could look at this another way and thank feck we have so many working within the NHS right now because if we didn't we really would be fecked .
