OK.

My best friend, an NHS doctor, has been in hospital since the 2nd of December. On the 10th he was admitted to intensive care. On the 24th he was put on a ventilator. He is still on the ventilator.

He caught Covid off a patient who did not believe it existed, even after being on CPAP for a few days.

I regret that I didn't tell him when he made a Skype call to me to say good bye as he estimated he has a 10% chance of survival, that he was part of the unlucky 0.3% according to your wisdom & bulltulip statistics. He is 48.

If you were twice the man you are, you wouldn't be half of what my friend is.

My friend died during the night in ICU.

Please take care CUKkers.

Fatigue? With what? The constant lies that have been exposed as a total economy destroying overreaction, where the cure is far far worse than a disease which on average kills people who are older than the average life expectancy.

People are not cautious when they realise there is nothing to fear for 99.7% of us. But yeah, lets keep locking down to give that 0.3% a few more months of life.

OK.

Would you drive a car with, instead of an airbag, had a big spike coming out of the steering wheel? Even though the chances of having an accident are really low?

Humans are notorious badly at estimating risk.

Careful. @vwdan will be along to argue with you about airbags.

Misleading social media posts are questioning the need for a Covid-19 vaccine, claiming that the virus has “a 99.97% survival rate”.

This is not true.

The chance of dying after catching Covid is about 1% in high-income countries, according to research from Imperial College London.

I would like to see figures on % of people admitted to ICU, or put on ventilators after catching Covid. That is not a trivial thing, and can have life altering ramifications - it is scary enough to work hard to avoid.

Doesn't matter what rules they put in place, people are the problem.

Rather like IT systems. They work far better without users.

Yes here we go, replying with facts and links to experts on the law. Guess you know better than Lord Sumption who sat on the supreme Court between 2012 and 2018. lol.

Do you believe that his pedigree means he is 100% correct?

A coward dies a thousand deaths. No, I don't sit worrying about a disease that kills people age 82.4 on average.

Here's the Times confirming that stat

Average age of coronavirus fatalities is 82 | News | The Times


But I will tell you what I am concerned about. Undiagnosed and untreated cancer, heart disease, eye operations etc and removal of rights people have taken for granted for generations with unlawful restrictions. Unlawful you say? Yes, feel free to find Lord Sumption, the best legal brain in the country, where he explains exactly why lock-downs are unlawful and how the government has tried to implement them via laws that only apply to sick people. There are no laws allowing quarantining of healthy people.

And here's a link where he explains it all 'Government by decree - Covid-19 and the Constitution': Lord Sumption - YouTube

If the hospitals are full of people with Covid, and they aren't all OAPs, how are you going to get cancer treatment or that operation you need?

And experts

But don't forget, the government hate the Supreme Court
