Quote by Albert the Talbot

I don’t think the government made the decision, more so the highly qualified scientists but in any case it may be a wrong or right decision

I think it was the government. It was they who chose to use those particular scientists. There are plenty who would have seen things differently.
Ally is right I think. A big experiment...if they fail they have the silver lining of loads less old people costing the nhs money...ho hum

History is not kind.
Foot and mouth 2001 and uk government sat on their brains while the rest of us watch the pyres burning.
One case due to illegal activity in Ireland and we got a 60 day shut down.
Foot and mouth stopped.
At that time I was in the farming career, seen neighbour attack neighbour, etc.
Health is your only wealth at the end of the day.
A small sacrifice of kicking around at home for a month or so, is a small price to protect your nearest and dearest.

I know you can quote statistics to suit the situation but I found this and with Boris's Herd mentality it does make a bit of sense.

For most people under 60 this is a very mild illness. Over 75 the death rate is 8% or more.

Still, the Chief Medical Officer thinks 70% of Brits will catch it.

He estimated a 1% overall mortality.

The mathematics are quite simple:-

67,700,000 people living in the UK

70% of them will catch it. That’s 47,390,000.

Of those, 15% will need hospitalization. That’s 7,108,500.

And 5% will need intensive care. That’s 2,369,500 in a country with 4,048 critical care beds as of last December.

https://www.england.nhs.uk/sta…-4yAu1.pdf

And 1% of those infected will die. That’s 473,900 people which is 200,000 more than British forces deaths in World War II.

If the epidemic has a steep peak, the 4,048 ICU beds will be overwhelmed and a much higher percentage of the very ill will die. That’s why slowing down the epidemic is so important.

In Hubei province and Wuhan city, 3.8% of those infected died. Applied to the UK that would be 1,800,820 dead.

Medical statisticians predicts between 15,000-25,000 deaths in the long term on the Island of Ireland assuming a 70% infection rate in the general populous..... quite frightening.
Expand that to a UK demographic and the long term death rates are 10x that = 250,000.... assuming 70% spread.

But, with all things like this which we know little, the figures will be quite speculative in their predictions..... but they believe this would be a ‘realistic base figure’....
it’s something to focus the population at least.

I think much more stringent controls need (and will) be imposed in the coming weeks.

Interesting article written by an Italian doctor, forewarning Ireland to get ready.

Your argument Tommy supports the idea of slowing down the spread of the virus so as not to overwhelm the health system. “Flatten the curve”. That’s the opposite to what Boris is at.

A GP on tv just now was saying that Ireland may get criticized for putting in too many measures....she also said that once this is over, if that is their only fault, then it may be a hell of a lot better than the uk getting their strategy wrong with lots of deaths as a result...made sense to me!

Christmas 2017 I took a Flu that nearly killed me, that's why we bought the motorhome, to just get out there and grab a bit of life. 42 years old with M.S and I want to know if anyone wants to swap a Motorhome for a Ventilator (Don't tell her, she'd maybe keep the van!)

I'm away to cheer myself up and watch Joker....again.
