Just because you imagine you are in group A doesn't excuse your attitude.

Not sure about a very draconian shut down, there could be huge consequences of that too. What will be the mental health effects, probably some driven to suicide, of people losing their jobs and businesses or being stuck in isolation for weeks or months?bloggoth

There are differing opinions, even from the experts, but it is hardly in doubt that the government has much expert advice. Don't know why some people, whose only "expertise" comes from what they have read in the news, think they know better.bloggoth

You really are letting that First Aider certificate inflate your tiny mind way beyond capability.
It is a suggested way of moving forward to sensibly manage an escalation. Nobody sensible (clearly that excludes both you and the peabrain WTFH) ever claimed it was a silver bullet.

The plan is to segregate all vulnerable people (older, ill, disabled and at risk) let
Yes I get it. The Group A people are the ones who cost the government and us tax payers in sick pay and medication and care.
So if we let most of them die the country won't have to pay them a pension. Or sick pay. Or pay for carers, or give them benefits.
Win win all the way.
Me? Cynical?

My point is groups A, B and C aren't separate distinct groups.
There are loads of people who intersect the groups e.g. have a medical condition and are an essential worker, are carers but are over 70.
As well as that loads of people live in households with others who are in the other groups. For example healthy school-aged children live with a parent who is an essential worker but has a medical condition making them vulnerable."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
