@humourless682 Please don't use the word "only" in relation to deaths. That's like saying that only Jews had to worry about Hitler.

@humourless682 Err, your post got divorced from reality where you said "shut down of health service for everyone but celebs and politicians". In point of fact, ordinary people by the millions have already been hospitalized for covid, and many of them have been discharged to self-care.

@humourless682 Thought you were talking about the USA, sorry. Our elites have solved that problem by making sure that lots of people haven't got any medical coverage - around 9% of our population of 330 million.

@humourless682 "From the projected figure of 200,000 deaths as a result of the first lockdown" << some clarification please: 1) What country are you talking about? 2) If "locking down" directly causes deaths by the hundreds of thousands, then explain how people are able to live for decades in prison, where their freedoms are far more restricted than merely being asked to wear a mask in public and not socialize.

@humourless682 Thank you for the peals of laughter induced by your use of the word "muzzles". (You DO realize that people can speak through them and be understood, right?) Let me try to spell this out using sentences short enough and words small enough for you to understand: There's a deadly disease going around. It spreads when people get together. For every normal pre-pandemic human activity, you can derive a "how easily could the virus spread from person to person" factor that's dependent on the following variables: - Is it indoors? - Are there people from different households there? - How good is the air circulation? - How close do people get to each other? - How long are random people in the close presence of each other? Supermarkets, and other large stores that can afford to upgrade their air circulation, are doing mostly OK in terms of not spreading the virus from customer to customer. The same unfortunately cannot be said for the workers in those places, or for smaller businesses that can't afford to be compliant with these measures. If all you're going to do is whine about your "freedumbs" being infringed upon, then it's a good thing you weren't around for WW2, because people got asked to do quite a lot more in order to save fewer lives than covid will cost. The authorities have had to make some hard decisions about what constitutes an acceptable loss on many fronts. Unless we're prepared to deliver food to everyone's homes (as China did during the worst of their lockdown back in Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr) we must keep those stores open. But everything else should probably stay closed. The alternative is going to look like 3000, then 5000 or more deaths per day.

@humourless682 You have again managed to miss the point. Saying that "this only affects older people or those with pre-existing conditions" is a lot like saying that Hitlerism only affects Jews. Are you aware that a lack of compassion for the suffering of others is a key indicator of sociopathic tendencies? Edit: in the UK there were around 70K civilian deaths during WW2, largely due to the Blitz. As of today, the number of UK covid deaths is 71,109. "Just a flu" << oh please :(

@humourless682 Re "why force millions of them to visit infection hubs" << is there an online translator to turn TinFoilWhackJob-ese to English that the rest of us can understand? It's not even remotely clear what the F you're trying to say.

@humourless682 Still no elaboration for what on earth you mean by "In the UK millions of the most vulnerable are forced to visit infection hubs daily"? Is that too serious a request?
