Is it just me that understands if you shield the vulnerable and old and let everyone else crack on the virus will spread, very fast and very hard, people have been bought down by the virus who were thought of as fit and able, ok not as many as the old/vulnerable but that figure would increase exponentially meaning the NHS would be swamped and nobody would be able to have a cancer/ect op ? For the massive majority of people under 80 Covid is a moderate illness from which they completely recover within a week. Regardless of what we do Covid will continue to spread until it has run its course, all the lockdowns are doing is hugely extending the time frame over which this happens. Meanwhile, with millions unemployed workplace contributions are massively reduced and these are what fund the NHS in the first place, as well as numerous other public services. As I've said before, this is not a "War of the Words" type Martian invasion. This is simply Mother Nature weeding her garden and we should learn to accept that, and get over the idea that a 101-year-old man dying is some type of unnatural event. To be brutally honest, I feel far more sorry for a 50-year-old man who has spent 20 years building up a successful business, only to see it destroyed by an event which he could not have reasonably foreseen, and who is now facing a lifetime of destitution and homelessness, or a 30 year old woman who dies of breast cancer which would have been entirely treatable, had all such treatment not been suspended.

I have to agree with your second paragraph Mr Stabby ... but what do you do with 40,000 seriously ill covid patients ? You can't just refuse to treat them and turn them away from the wards ... it's not a simple either/or issue is it ? And without reducing the spread, we cannot reduce hospital occupancy levels. Rog

Exactly !!
The biggest threat facing humans is overpopulation.
What's more useful?
1. A baby. 2. A geriatric person on medication.
I'd go for no.1 because that baby has the potential to be a dole scrounging layabout wrong'un no hoper who could make the world a better place.
But if they are sat on by old well off people with enough cars and houses for blah blah blah.
Compulsory maximum age should be introduced. Once you reach it it's bye bye. You do it your way, get the men in black to do it or .gov contractor chops your head off with a big sword.
It would make the whole planet into a better place.
The president of the USA is nearly 80 !! He might even BE 80!!
Crazy shit !
!
Isn't it.

Maybe a 'wastrel who never worked in his life' should start being factored in for the line up to be chopped.

And you really expect the UK to watch over 100,000 people die (and probably more if just ignored) without any intervention ? Never going to happen was it Mr Stabby whether right or wrong. Rog

Middle of next week you will be pirouetting across the ice in preparation to teach your daughters at the weekend. Provided no one has chopped your head off in the meantime!

The 'Nightingale' hospitals have been standing empty. The Conservatives have been running the NHS into the ground for many years. Perhaps the NHS should have been properly funded and properly run? How about chasing up all the foreigners that have used the NHS for free and then buggered off back to their own countries and never paid the bills? But then, most of the bills have never been sent out.
