Is it time to free the healthy from restrictions?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52543692People aren't putting up with this pantomime anymore for something which is no worse than a flu.
It is the economy that keeps us alive and affords a quality of life.So a lifting of restrictions is now needed to keep the economy intact.It is possible that the Government have got this about right- not that they will get any recognition.
Eventually, there would come a point when the economy would be more important than people's lives.
I think we have reached this point.
Everything based on the 'science'. I bet you they don't even mention the word 'science' from now on as they release plans for the easing of the lockdown.
Governments throughout history have 'sacrificed' their own people for the so called 'greater good'
You can see what happens when people believe they are healthy and disregard social distancing just look at the BME death figures - double the norm. Here in Sheffield the media has reported that fines for ignoring the lockdown are very much higher in BME areas. But I expect the mods will condemn this observation as racist and so the true facts will be covered up again as they were in Rotherham.
End this ridiculous lock down
Let`s get back to work
let`s have a public inquiry into neil(lock down)ferguson
Why did the government follow neil ferguson`s(fake) coronavirus model
Neil ferguson
Wrong on bird flu, swine flu, foot and mouth disease, mad cow disease
Why weren't just the elderly and vulnerable locked down from the start? The evidence was there.One of two explanations:
1. The country is run by well meaning idiots, with their sychophantic media (BBC up there with the worst) and a thick, gullible public in tow.
2. There was a wider conspiracy, with Bill Gates at the top, to move us towards a surveillance state and mandatory vaccinations.
Borus makes General Haig look like a compassionate genius.
For the sake less than 100,000 he has condemned 60 million of us to a 20 years poverty.
Unlike the war where we all benefit in perpetuity from the sacrifice those who benefit from this will be long dead before we finish paying for it.
There were NO excess deaths prior to the lock down.
We went from no excess deaths and only a handful of covid deaths to 12,000 excess deaths in the space of three weeks when lockdown started, despite covid being present for months beforehand.
The lockdown did not save lives. It cost them.
I'm 69 and have several of the risk factors for covid 19. I'm not currently experiencing any significant symptoms. While I'm happy to comply with social distancing, I'm not prepared to live under house arrest indefinitely. When you dont have much time left, wasting it confined to the house is not acceptable. So get on with removing restrictions or I for one will start ignoring them.
Some say that as you get older your immune system weakens which is true, however what is also true is that Obesity, and Smoking also weakens your immune system a lot, whatever age you are.
Am I a medical person, no, but my wife was an immunologist at some UK and Canadian hospitals before she also retired.
Perhaps instead of the 70 plus age group we should keep all fat smokers locked up.
The healthy should never have been restricted in the first place. We knew who the vulnerable were so we should have put resources into protecting them. Meanwhile, the rest of us can recover from the infection in a short space of time so that we never have to fear a second spike. And the economy wouldn't have slumped. How will we pay for the NHS when we're bankrupt?
Feel free to indulge yourself and stay indoors if you're generally healthy but prefer not to work until you think it's 'safe'. Just dont expect everyone else to pay for it. Let's see how keen you are then. It's no worse than the flu for most, so grow a pair and get back to accepting life has risks. This country has been brought to its knees by spineless politicians and public hysteria.
Back in March a health professional on tv said cases would double every day. So by now the entire world has it. It only takes 34 days of doubling to get from 1 to 8 billion.
I guess that prediction went wrong.
Reality is if you have a decent immune system it kills it stone dead in a jiffy. Unless you work in a hospital and are exposed every day.
'I'm shielding but have 2 children. They will need to return to school so unless they shouldn't return until there is a vaccine, I can't be completely protected. I also have a full time job and a mortgage to pay for. '

If you have a long-term health condition is it wise to have 2 children, a fulltime job, and a mortgage?
The Government has done a good job in a difficult situation. It is now time to start lifting the lockdown. The public have, in the main, adhered to the restrictions, and the public should now follow the new guidelines when they are introduced on Monday. Respect to those families who have lost loved ones, but life must go on.
