    It is unlikely in the extreme that there will be any definite policy of if you're over 60, forget it. It may practically work out like that however.

    Since everyone else here seems to be posting their own cov19 thread, I thought I would be selfish and add mine too.

    Soon UK will have far more people needing health care.

    But why decide this on age? Surely there should be no respirators to second home owners who have done so much to **** up the country? Or people who have been exercising this weekend?

    And why should drunk people get any sort of threatment? Or fat people?

    Where does it end?

    Hitler would be proud....
    They haven't gone far enough .... should be anyone over 51

    We should restrict fat people from health care too. And anyone who smokes.

    The thought of that has had me chuckling (and therefore coughing) all day. I guess humour is good for the immune system though.
