Ah bless. Looks like the forum cretins had a little huddle late in the evening when the clever meanies couldn't get them.

TBF, I thought he'd flounced off again.

Don't scare him away, he's always good for a bit of banter when it's a quiet day in the office

We are in lockdown
We are in general

HTH

Besides it’s just assguru, nobody with anything important to do...he retired off to Portugal like all the other Richie riches allegedly do

Even in children it can have complications. Which is why vaccination is to be preferred.

Then why does the UK NOT routinely vaccinate children against this disease whilst other countries do?

And so it begins.....



Many are calling this an example of the classic "Trolley Problem".

Save the pensioners and the vulnerable (the so-called 2.5%), but the economy tanks if the "lockdown" continues for too long and the knock-on effects of massive business closures, unemployment, homelessness etc means, ultimately, many more will die.

Or, save the economy. More people remain alive, but we have to allow the 2.5% to die in order to achieve it.

The problem is, that alone is a flawed analysis. It's not just the 2.5% - it's the knock on effect. No matter what we do, we're going to see huge amounts of people have time off work and huge, unbelievable strain on the NHS. That means people who have accidents, unrelated illnesses and so on are also going to die. And what of the "vulnerable" - this time 2 years ago my son had his second open heart surgery. Before that time he would in the group that probably wouldn't survive this - now he likely will.

This idea that it's "just" pensioners and old people or "just" 2.5% is deeply flawed and plain incorrect. Here's an example near me, already: 'Fit and healthy' 36-year-old UK nurse in intensive care with coronavirus | World news | The Guardian

COVID is coming regardless, and it's going to be devastating if we don't take action. This isn't a binary choice for the economy - there is no "minimal economic disruption option"

It is to protect adults.

As most people have had it they think it will increase the risk of chicken pox and shingles in adults.

There is a shingles vaccination but it is only for those 70+.
