    Hate to break it to you, but it's "lambs". "Kids" is the term for young goats.

    Unless they're not actually their kids, and/or they're already dead.

    Future taxpayers?



    When was the last time a UK Govt planned for 15-20 years ahead?

    50k dead with at best only 10% infected (which might happen again as nobody is sure how long immunity will last), so 500k dead at least if “flu” can easily spread, a lot more since Nhs coped only because of “lockdown”

    Oh - add to that many people who got discharged are suffering what might be long term damage to lungs and other organs.

    Run, rabbit run
    Dig that hole, forget the sun
    And when at last the work is done
    Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
    For long you live and high you fly
    But only if you ride the tide
    And balanced on the biggest Second wave
    You race towards an early grave
