Oppress and exploit BAME and working class people, make them more vulnerable to the virus, and then lock them all up in case we catch it from them?

Surely a different subject?

No it isn't. It is not yet known why there are differences across ethnicity. Could be significantly linked to overcrowded social conditions and poorer paid work in caring roles leading to higher exposure, as well as genetics.

Highest risk of what Paul?

Getting infected, dying or infecting others? Everyone already who knows or suspects they are infected is asked to self isolate, with no reference to individual characteristics.

This covers your point without the need for racial discrimination.

And to protect the larger population from what? If you "quarantine" all the people who are likely to die, then who will be left at risk?

You were spot on Honey:

Differences by ethnicity just down to where you live/what job you do.

Thankfully; otherwise just be fuel for the racists....

You either look at this differently and realise we over reacted, protect the vulnerable and get on with life. Or you believe the cessation of civilised and economic life is a proportionate and necessary response.

The Gov and most people still appear to believe the latter.

Middlemas, above is my post in full.

Quite clearly I was taking the part and voice of the "Gov and most people..." to highlight the logical outcome of those I had been arguing against since March.

The give away to my position is the word "realise" in the first sentence.

Middlemas, you are a mystery to me. We both know we have been arguing lockdown since March, only I have not had to change my name because of behavioural issues.

You have gone to some lengths here Middlemas. Either you have a notebook at hand of my posts ready to easily quote me out of context, or you invested a lot of time in this whole "gotcha" thing that isn't.

Either way; stop wasting my time. And yours.

And you appear to have contracted that virus that grows in-between anteaters toes, PED-ANT-1c.
