Kathryn Wilson You're not. It won't. You voted for authoritarians and that's what you're going to get. They have this thing that keeps people locked down so why would they let the news tell you anything that slackens their grip on you all? The bright side is you're not alone. The whole of the western democracies will need to shut up and stay in and watch telly until the economy is killed off and you have to rely on their aid. For everything.

No. Covid came to our house a couple of months ago. Four got it, all in their early 60's. Wife lost her smell and taste for a while and felt a bit weary; sister got it and had a heavy cold for a week or so. Two blokes no symptoms whatsoever. So no, we did not have a 'covid' Christmas. In fact we had a locked down Christmas, which was shite. And the best bit is that if people keep believing this nonsense about a virus that ran out of bodies so that it needed the help of all the flu deaths to make it look worth bothering about; then we stand every chance of having next Christmas under house arrest.

@importantjohn We get a new flu virus every year. Why do we not shut down to 'prevent' each one?

@importantjohn And now as we go into full national lockdown again, you're a happy bunny, yes? What one is this? Number three? First two worked then.

@importantjohn Transmission is a good thing. By transmitting throughout the population, the vast majority will deal with it and get on with life. It's how we are all here after millions of years of viral outbreak.

@johannabarry6325 Very well said.

@importantjohn Yet covid leads to end of life diseases unlike all the ones you mention. Also, it is far less dangerous to all. Did we ever lock down for any of them?

@importantjohn That figure? How would that be in any way calculable? Is it another Fergusonism?

@michaeljohn292 I stated my age. Have you nothing to offer beyond playground invective?
