None of us actually know anything. All we can do is wait and see. (while inwardly seething. )
I am somewhere in the middle. Trivial or catastrophic, it makes no difference. It is still a ridiculous farce and the "safety measures" make no sense at all either way.
I get where you are coming from Honey, but disagree that "none of us know anything" and we should just see how it pans out.
The low mortality rate (recently revised down in UK) as opposed to infections is known, those particularly vulnerable are known, the impact of lockdown is beginning to be felt and reasonably predictable as disastrous short and long term.
I think it is therefore reasonable to have an opinion about whether our response to Covid has been merited or not; particularly given the impact on generations to come.
Totally agree with you on safety measures.
Any way I look at it masks rules utterly baffle me.
Oh dont get me started on the stupid masks!
If you were actually PLANNING to infect as many people as possible, what could be better than removing the two metre distance rule and replace it with an old sock under your chin?
And yes, we can all see that the figures are bollocks.
I was added to it last week at the hospital for an illness I had at the beginning of the year. It was very severe, I was briefly in hospital, and admittedly it was unlike anything else, but they retrospectively diagnosed me, (I was there for something unrelated) and gave me an antibody test which they said would probably be negative after so much time.
So I am on the "tested for" list, and also the "diagnosed with" list and there is nothing bloody wrong with me!
I dont think the lockdown and
bullyingsafety measures were justified, and if they were, it should have been a co-ordinated total lockdown to get it over with in a couple of weeks.
The current farce is not needed, and is pointless, and I cant believe that anyone in power really believes it is.
What I don't know, is what it is all for?
