I've just done a quick calculation. The IFR is now put at under 0.3%. So to get 85,000 deaths we need at least 85000/0.033 = 28,000,000 more infections. Does this seem credible?
Here's another figure. For the 45,000 deaths we have already had this equates to at least 15, 000,000 already having been infected, and now being immune.
So taking the the insane prediction of the SAGE wankers as correct, which it clearly isn't, we would end up with at least 43 million immune people. That's at least 65% of the population! We would have, or be very close to, herd immunity, WITHOUT any vaccine, which is far from guaranteed.
One more calculation. 45000 + 85000 = 130,000 deaths in about a year. BUT around 600,000 people die every year in the UK, and a high percentage of those 130,000 would be among those 600,000. These figures simply do not justify further destruction of the economy, jobs, education, and futures.
During the spring lockdown we knew little about the virus and didn't realise just how low the IFR was. With what we know now a second lockdown is utter madness and completely unacceptable.
Please check my figures if you want. Then copy this post and pass it on to everybody and ask them to do the same. Because these figures make it abundantly clear that we DO NOT NEED another incredibly damaging lockdown.
