Tut. Principle not principal.  Isnt it funny how you only spot your spelling disasters right AFTER you press send? |

It is impossible to know how dangerous covid is without knowing how many have been infected.
When someone says for instance that there has only been four deaths in healthy teenagers from covid, it doesn't tell us how dangerous (or not) covid is, because we only know the figures WITH lockdown, not without.
Even comparing different countries doesnt give a full picture.
For instance, in Sweden the culture is to have a very large personal space. They were ALREADY distancing.
You would have to replicate the same conditions to expect the same result.
My objections are to the pretence and silliness of it all, rather than imaginary numbers.
The principal would be the same however many people died. |

Actually, the death rate now exceeds 3%. A million dead; 33 million infected.
I would accept this data if anyone had a clue how many people have been infected (likely to be far more - millions worldwide- than we know about) and if the definition of a Covid death wasn't loose enough to include all those who died from whatever cause, but also happened to have tested positive at some stage for Covid.
We just don't know. Yes it is a mortal threat to a very small number. Not at all to the vast majority.
The price of continued lockdowns will be far worse.
You can't cripple humanity for every health risk that comes along, unless the death rate is significantly higher than Covid will ever be. |

But yes, there'll be too many graduates for the jobs available. |

Course there are exceptions with some uber confident undergrads.
What more proof do we need though that the world has gone mad then pics of teenagers staring out of halls of residence windows; effectively under house arrest. Studying in the hope of getting a job in an economy we have wrecked for at least a decade.
All done to vainly stop a virus that kills less than 1% of those infected and who are mainly in their 80s and 90s.
Or has it all been done for short term politics to minimise the death count on Bo-Jo's watch?
Has the clown PM become something far more sinister...? |
