Its a weird filtering process. SAGE report based on science, the press then pick out a small part of the report that will generate the most clicks. People then pick out a small part of the news reports and amplify on social media. Then it gets thrown back as 'proof' SAGE were wrong despite their reports being publicly available for anyone to see.So many are scientifically illiterate, they shouldn’t be allowed to comment.

Of course some people are going to be scared going back to normal. Weve had a 130k deaths from a disease which still out there.
Hopefully its now at a point where its manageable but I can see why some people are still worried.
It took a few horror stories of 30 somethings in ICU in Bolton to instigate an increase in vaccine take up.
Yeah as well as the media ramming it down people's throats 24/7 that the world is going to end.
How many people die every day from cancer alone? Maybe we should just give up life now in case we get cancer one day?
It really is no way to live.
Not the cancer argument again, haven't seen that one for months! Cancer isn't contagious.
Of course this was going to get rammed down our throats, it's a once in a lifetime event that has killed 3.5m people worldwide, it was hardly going to get brushed under the carpet or painted as nothing to worry about was it
Yes exactly. Different people are at risk of different things.I'm not sure what your point is. Covid is more of a risk to some people than cancer, just as cancer is more of a risk to some than Covid. Lockdown was necessary to stop a dangerous virus ripping through the population. Even with incredibly tight lockdown measures 3.5m have died. Imagine how many would've died without lockdowns?

Isn't hiv and aids killing a fair few thousand every year? I'd guess a hell of a lot less now though.

Thats a ridiculous comparison.
Thats a ridiculous comparison.
The HIV comparison isn’t.
I think it's because you will die from standard conditions/illness if you can't access the normal paths of healthcare if it's swamped through not controling the pandemic, which we now look to be doing.How is it?
My point is that we can't all give up a normal life because of a chance of getting COVID, Cancer, Aids or whatever else.
Oh tripe mutant Yorkshire Variant, CLOSE THE WORLD FOREVER!
It is.
How is it?

It isn’t. It’s a disease that’s classed as a pandemic and is transferred between humans.
If everyone was locked in for a couple of years and sexual inter course was made globally a crime would the transmission rate and deaths be the same?
How is it?
My point is that we can't all give up a normal life because of a chance of getting COVID, Cancer, Aids or whatever else.
Oh tripe mutant Yorkshire Variant, CLOSE THE WORLD FOREVER! It is going to be something we need to learn to live with.
You can go to the pub and not have sex.
And I don't know how many peopledied from HIV but I don't think it was 130k in just over a year.

If we could stop cancer by socially distancing and wearing masks I think most people would do it.
Aids in general could be stopped by practicing safe sex.
We've put normal life on hold for just over a year to prevent adding to the 130k deaths.
It was the right course of action in my opinion and hopefully we're on the way out of it now.
I don’t know about everyone else, but I’ve definitely cut down on the number of cigars and orgies I go through in order to minimise my risk of getting cancer or AIDS.
If there was a similarly straightforward way to stop me getting COVID then I’d be glad to sack off social distancing and do that instead.
Well there is a drug they can buy that seems to prevent their death, possibly pass it on, and lead full term lifespan etc .We’re not far from having vaccined our way out. Sadly there is no vaccine for non infectious diseases or for the likes of HIV but thankfully for the latter if you wear condoms and don’t share drug needles there’s a very high chance you’ll never get it.
Let’s be honest the only chance of you having an unpaid orgy is if it’s with Andy Turner and Alan Poole

700,000 are still dying globally every year and 26 million have died. You can go to pub and not have sex but afterwards with alcohol in your system you might
I thought I was Andy Turner?!
Shame they can’t just wear a mask as that stops Covid spread doesn’t it?
It doesn't stop it, as last autumn and winter proved. If we hadn't had preventative measures in place wonder what the daily death toll might have peaked at.
No,but if you got it you would recieve a plethora of different treatments , interventions and potential solutions trying to stop your death.No cancer isn't contagious, more of a risk to some people though so should we just give up on life now in case we get it one day? I'm much more likely to die from cancer than COVID, that's not just saying it. It's fact.
Should I give up on life now in case I get it or just live life normally and see what happens?
How is it?
My point is that we can't all give up a normal life because of a chance of getting COVID, Cancer, Aids or whatever else.
