  1. Wu Beach Boy , The latest data on the ONS website gives total registered deaths in England and Wales for all causes so far this year = 166,436.. And the five year average to the same date = 164,196 So it looks like Coronavirus has caused about 2,200 extra deaths. Nothing like the 16,000 reported. Lockdown only works if it is absolute and government originally thought people would not follow the rules. So they massively overstated the danger to terrify everybody into staying home by counting everybody who dies With it as if they died From it.

  2. Kevin Burrow - That is true. You realise your making an argument for perpetual lockdown. Nobody is looking at the other side of the coin:- in the UK about 50,000,000 active people are loosing say, 20% of their quality of life. Lockdown takes away a part of everybody's life that they can never have get back. 20% of 50,000,000 = 1,000,000 days wasted per day of lockdown.

  3. I wonder how many people who support lockdown think it will get rid of the virus. It won't of course. It will still be out there. You can't get rid of it. And we can't wait 18 months in lockdown for a vaccine. Which is why, ultimately, herd Immunity is the only viable solution.

  4. Governments should introduce a 100% sterilisation program. Then eventually no-one will die of anthing.
