JK2006	Yes (I love HardTalk Jo; very under rated show). That is typical of the moronic approach taken by the majority. Absolutely correct if the media image of Covid19 is believed; not just difficult but impossible to single out the vulnerable. If, however, my assumption was correct (media inflate everything and it was only lethal to a tiny percentage, mainly the elderly); it was not just incredibly easy but essential (and inexpensive) to target care homes and hospitals (and then dense populations in prisons, refugee camps etc). Allowing 99% of the world to continue living as normal - and urging them (PUBLICITY) to avoid infecting the vulnerable and to self isolate if vulnerable.
Jo	The director of the Wellcome Trust was interviewed on Hardtalk recently and Stephen Sackur asked him something along the lines of why UK policy hadn't been to target protection at the vulnerable. He replied that that would have been difficult or impossible to single them out. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000lntw
wyot	Absolutely agree. This link provides a clear guide to the actual fatality rates per country against infections as opposed to numbers of people. coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality As you pojnt out JK we are outliers at 15.1% case fatality and the US 3.3%. Trump is correct on this point just couldn't articulate it; as he struggles to do with any subject beyond what he wants for tea... My suspicion is our appalling rate is largely down to our botched response to care homes/protecting vulnerable. Elsewhere, Boris gets ever tougher in his attempt to win back the love of the people and allows councils to bulldoze buildings as a response to the virus: www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/08/04/...ngs-new-powers-stop/ That'll sort it given it is transmitted through the air between people. Why not just employ the newly unemployed to clean the building safely? Scaremongering; what scaremongering!!
