Dare I say car accidents can't really be compared to a pandemic as you can't "catch" a car accident and an accident can't be "passed on" to another person. boom boom !  
# Maroons : what Mae West used to call her loyal fans instead of morons. 
Mind you..mind you..do I lie?
In glorious lock down Bondi that has it's own beautiful beach front drive thru Corona Virus checking station ..the drive way is choc a bloc with shinny Mercs, BMWs Audis etc etc who nip down from the rich Eastern Suburbs and block us local maroons from getting in...
I digress..Bondi has an enormous young population (younger then me but not as glamorous) and several things have happened..
The entire beach front shops are not just shutting down but going out of business and ..the food delivery business has absolutely sky-rocketed and the suburb is like some sort of motor bike speedway as Uber Eats moped deliverers hurtle here and there (so little traffic) and there are dozens and dozens on the streets at any one time sounding like a million bees and they really are quite dangerous..I've nearly hit about 3 of them so i could very well have an auto accident caused by Covid-19 !
## are all Uber Eats drivers Indian?  |

Lockdown is about saving the lives of the most vulnerable people by restricting the spread of the virus; this is because It behaves in such an unpredictable and fatal way; Mr King has said he is against this approach in favour of targeting vulnerable individuals and getting them to self-isolate. Unlike the flu, it's not possible to pinpoint everybody who is potentially vulnerable to COVID-19 because it affects all age groups, as well as people with undiagnosed underlying conditions.
As we know we can all be protected against the flu with special jabs; there is no such vaccine for this devil. Having read a bit about how COVID-19 bevaes, it turns out that it delays your cells' signalling system to the innate immune system to warm it of an invading virus. This causes the innate ummune system to belatedly go into overdrive, often with fatal consequences. It also screws around with the adaptive immune system - the one that heuristically develops and remembers immunity for the future. Not only that, but it also attaches itself to the signalling cells so it can travel from the lungs to other organs in the body. This virus is definitely not the flu; it's a new phenomenon, hence the reason it's been called novel coronavirus. Chris Whitty and all the other chief medical officers around the world are unlikely to be wrong about this and all lives matter. |

Car accidents are NOT trivial. Measures have constantly been introduced ever since cars were first put on the roads. At first there were no requirements for licences and MOTs and you could drink alcohol and drive with impunity - safety regulations were non-existent. As time wore on, people had to pass driving tests, wear seat belts, buy insurance, obey speed limits, wear helmets on motorbikes, and not park on double yellow lines outside hospitals, as more and more rules got introduced to keep the roads safe and clear when needed. Think of your erstwhile (and now deceased) mate Mr Savile and his clunk-click adverts on the telly! I once worked with someone who was part of a campaign to keep motorbiking helmet-free; he even got arrested and fined for his (misguided) belief. In the long run all of these measures have resulted in fewer fatal road accidents; ironically, this might even be the reason why Mr King thinks that car accidents are trivial.
We must accept that governments have to take action and introduce regulations and restrictions for our own good whenever there is imminent danger. Any argument to the contrary is just pseudo-libertarian bollocks. As you will be aware, the contrarian Peter Hitchens is constantly coming out with this sort of nonsense in his online blogs and DM articles. Sometimes, people just cannot see what prats they are making out of themselves with their silly opinions. 
If you re-watch the Savile episode you will see that he was not a mate at all. |

Each to their own. Moron.
Rewriting the opinions of others and then declaring them idiotic is not worth answering. |
