If everyone gets it before it has a chance to mutate we're golden
Oh and one of Keir Starmer's children has Covid.
So now the PM and the Leader of the opposition have both got to self-isolate...."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

The more you let the virus "roam" the higher the chances of it mutating. Let it spread in a vaccinated group of people and sooner or later it will mutate to evade the vaccine so that it can survive. So the whole "herd immunity" approach is dumber than anything else, especially with cases soaring as it means you need to reach 98% vaccination levels to stop the spread (the higher the R the higher the % or vaccinated people).Comment

"Sage adviser claims ministers trying to get as many as possible infected with Covid
Exclusive: Prof Robert West says rhetoric about caution is ‘a way of putting blame on public’
A scientist advising the government has accused ministers of allowing infections to rip through the younger population in an effort to bolster levels of immunity before the NHS faces winter pressures.
“What we are seeing is a decision by the government to get as many people infected as possible, as quickly as possible, while using rhetoric about caution as a way of putting the blame on the public for the consequences,” said Prof Robert West, a health psychologist at University College London who participates in Sage’s behavioural science subgroup.
“It looks like the government judges that the damage to health and healthcare services will be worth the political capital it will gain from this approach,” West said, adding that ministers appear to believe the strategy is now sustainable – unlike last year – because of the vaccine rollout.

Of course they are, nothing else can explain what they are doing - this is a deliberate strategy not just to let the young get infected, but to do it as quickly and as comprehensively as possible. If they get away with it (and they might), Boris will declare himself a genius. If not, it will be our fault.Comment

That list also doesn't account for long covid affects plus the business/lifestyle impacts of people around you being infected.
To put covid in that list and apply any conclusion is seriously flawed.Last edited by northernladuk; 24 July 2021, 02:29.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
