  1.  @kellysmallman8864  People with symptoms are also tested to distinguish whether it's Covid, flu or a cold or something else (COPD?). The worst of the symptoms may not develop until between 5-14 days and even if it's almost symptomless it may be deadly for others if you pass it on.

  3.  @kellysmallman8864  It's not 99.98% survival rate. It's more like 98% but if everyone got the disease that 2% of deaths would mean 6 million deaths in the USA and 2 million in the UK. You need to consider that rather than cold percentages, and that doesn't include the percentage or numbers of survivors with long Covid or permanent damage to organs. Also if we keep spreading it around it will mutate more. Already many countries are not allowing UK residents in because of the latest mutation which is more infectious and it's affecting our trade at the Dover Calais border crossing. It's really short sighted to just quote percentages as you do.

  4.  @kellysmallman8864  That's true. Well they listen for a while when it suits them and then they stop listening again.

  5.  @kellysmallman8864  What are you referring to? I don't take notice of conspiracy theories, only maths and science.
