That is true. This is why we should not get to the 250 000 - 500 000 deaths.

It's about slowing down the spread of the virus. This has the knock on affect of slowing down deaths.

We know that. Also why you don’t need to go moralising on why it shouldn’t be acceptable to take that many deaths. Nobody is accepting it.

Which is exactly what I have been saying. We are a week behind France.

I wonder if we bring out fines for ignoring directions that they will have to go up a few times or we start with bigger fines.

But when those restrictions come back those who have proven immune/vaccinated/ recovered won’t need to go into hiding.

That will be one of those decisions to be made later.

Maybe a white cross on your head if you haven't contracted the virus yet, red cross if you have it presently and no cross once you have got the antibodies.

It’s from your mobile network on behalf of the government. The government decided against a mobile alert system like other countries a while ago I believe. Also means it’s all or nothing so they can’t send out location or user specific stuff.

We’re just haggling now though surely? 200k? 150k? 100k? Even the best case of 20k is a decision not to go as far as say China because of economic/libertarian/human rights concerns.

Back at work in the morning. Won't get to see proper daylight for a few days. At least should find out when my next day off will be by the weekend. If we get the slightest symptom we have to isolate for 14 days. And that is without coming into contact with anyone who has it.

Well it’s an opportunity to save lives if you take action. The whole time it’s felt like we’ve been completely caught off guard.

Not just that. If the economy tanks completely and we end up in another Great Depression then a load of people are going to die on top. I’m sure the haggling is about how we can keep deaths from the virus and from the economic impacts at a minimum. If it turns out full lockdown for 2 years is the only way of stopping it but that would kill 2 million (random figures obviously) then virus is not the worst of things.

I started watching an interview with him earlier and had to stop, it was excruciating.
I'm convinced he's part of some elaborate wind up and he's really Simon Bodkin or some similar gobshite.

Or some of them are happy to kill off the old so they don't have to pay pensions.

You’d have to have one hell of an economic downturn to kill two million people!
