I am in my late 50s and slightly overweight, but that's not the point. We have to hope that becoming infected gives us some immunity. What's the alternative to letting the virus spread (after shielding the elderly and vulnerable)? Of course, maintain social distance and wash hands etc, but locking ourselves away isn't the answer. The virus will still be here when we start engaging in normal social activity again. Just like the flu is still here, but we learn to live with it. Maybe you are waiting for a vaccine to come to our rescue? Good luck with that.
Lock down until a vaccine is found, or suffer the consequences. It’s really that simple, it’s nature and nothing is more powerful, your in a risk group then like me, I have no intention of getting it without fully understanding it, which we don’t, no testing has been performed really. This is not like the flu, it hasn’t gone away with the weather, it’s mutated several time already globally, second waves are hitting areas globally, it’s a global pandemic, the only reason deaths aren’t in the millions is because of global efforts to stop that. The whole herd immunity idea was based on the flu, and Covid 19 is not the flu and all anyone knows is we have no immunity to it, also the idea was ditched I believe after the government was told how many people would die in the process.
It’s estimated over 55 thousand I believe have died in the U.K. so far, and that’s from no one moving around, if everyone was back to normal think what that figure would be then...
Now if you go back to normality, fill up the NHS as normal, then come winter you’ll have the flu and Covid 19, that’s a recipe for a fair few deaths that would be needless.
Their isn’t a single test to prove you cannot catch Covid 19 after you’ve had, indeed the evidence so far seems to suggest the opposite. Of course it’s nature way of balancing the global population anyway, so perhaps a few million should be killed off? Certainly help with this planet and it’s resources.
