As a pensioner I am happy to be put at risk if this helps rescue the economy and speeds up herd immunity. After all, Covid 19 is just one of the things lining up to get me - and pretty low down on the list, what's more.

@Lee_303 Not so. I'm only 71, but I stand by what I said. Your attitude towards death changes the closer it approaches, it seems.

@downonthestour With all due respect to your grandmother the economy is more important than she is. Furthermore, the chances of her dying as a direct result of Covid 19 are extremely slim. How slim we cannot know since the figures are being fudged so extensively. I guess my attitude isn't bad at all - it seems rather public-spirited actually.

@DevonExplorer Try thinking with your head, not your heart. The economy IS human beings for goodness sake! If the economy crashes then many, many people will suffer and many will die. Life is a risky business and no-one gets out of here alive. We should be concentrating on protecting health care workers and doing what we can to ease the passing of the frail and elderly NOT getting into a panic and hiding under the duvet trying to think beautiful thoughts.

@dwaynericketts882 I prefer to think of it as cool and rational, you silly boy!

@DevonExplorer I agree with all you say. Those very much at risk of death are, however, elderly in care homes where as well as being frail and vulnerable they are constantly re-infecting each other. I myself am missing grandad duties (a bit!) and would not hesitate to go on holiday with my grandchildren tomorrow were it not for the fact that some officious policeman would arrest us all. Social interaction may well cause the spread of coronavirus but by now evolution should see it weakened. Forcing people to occupy confined spaces and re-infecting each other is what adds to the death toll.

@cobbler40 I don't want to die either. Being a porter on a Covid ward must increase the chances ( but not by all that much, I would guess). I'd rather try to persuade managers to institute some sort of staggered shift system (four hours on, six off?) for vulnerable staff plus regular (48hour?) infection checks.

@DevonExplorer I like it when this happens.
