But for Liverpool where there is a movement around not abiding by those tier 3 rules, is the aforementioned plan more workable. Freedom within the city but accept travel restrictions out of it?
But again you have to consider the percentage of the population that 'health issues' applies to.The evidence that people without any health issues and aren't of a senior age being largely unaffected cannot be dismissed. It really is like many people are putting their fingers in their ears and not wanting to know.
New Zealand is a different animal altogether.

It certainly is a killer for certain people, but there is a massive part of the world's population where it isn't. That needs to be factored into how we tackle it and recover the planet.
You realise something like two thirds of the population are overweight? And that’s just one “pre existing condition”?
Fucking crassMaybe the masks can be used to stop people eating so much as well then.
Really don’t get this. Feels like the government are losing control with regions cutting their own deals.'Lancashire has agreed a deal to enter Tier 3 - the highest level of England'
What is this, transfer deadline day muddled up with Covid-19? Can just imagine CCC doing a deal with the government. Pocketing all the money and saying they are skint. It is a bit worrying actually.
If the virus spread further so that you were statistically more likely to die from it than cancer would you then support restrictions?Isn't there hundreds of deaths a day from cancer that isn't all over the news and drummed into people?
Statistically, I think I am more likely to die from cancer than COVID too.
It’s not being dismissed? It’s been well publicised since it started that older people and those with certain health conditions are more at risk. Literally everyone knows this. What point are you trying to make?The evidence that people without any health issues and aren't of a senior age being largely unaffected cannot be dismissed.

Frayed sew.We’re literally days into the new tiers and it’s fallen apart already

I don’t see that happening. Majority of the public support stricter measures, it isn’t just old people.The point I'm trying to make is it seems like a lot of people who are elderly or vulnerable are trying to guilt the rest of the population into following their ideal theories and practices. Anyone who goes against that is accused of insinuating the vulnerable are expendable, and it acts as a shut down argument.
It isn't the case and it is getting a bit of a boring argument now.

Surey that's even worst thenDated January 15th, nice one.
Bmi is a load of bollocks it's out dated to shit, most Rugby players fall into he morbidity obese catorgery. Although it would explain why us had it so bad but why has Brazil had it so bad? Most of them are poor as shit and are skinny asf, same with India.

What are you on about? You are saying that the old & vulnerable are trying to "guilt the rest of the population"? Examples?
This is another example of your weird persecution conspiracy complex... BLM? "why are people asking me to apologise for being white?" Covid? "why are old people making me feel guilty?" You seem to think that huge swathes of the population are going after you and you are making things up to justify it, its very strange.
Its not just all about you you you you you all the time
I know, but the Bmi scale is way out of date, my brother for example he is 1r stone 6ft 3 and classes as overweight, but he is a skinny little rat. Me on the other hand 17 stone 6ft and morbidity obese, atleast that's what I was but I have changed my lifestyle and have lost like 5 stone in 4 months give or take.When two thirds of a population exhibit a characteristic its more likely to be a societal problem than an individual one.
Most people aren’t body builders dude.
I don’t see that happening. Majority of the public support stricter measures, it isn’t just old people.
What alternative approach are you suggesting? Shielding the elderly?

But what does that mean in reality? I’m in my 30’s and would happily continue to work while more vulnerable isolate but it’s not practical beyond the short term. You can’t physically remove the vulnerable and elderly from the society and the economy for any length or time and if you did they would only come back into with the virus run if for rampant and catch it anyway.I think the majority do support sensible and organised measures yes. Either way, there is clearly a difference in the way the virus affects certain people and not others. My view all along has been that the people who are in stronger health need to keep the country going. That includes myself.
I'm not sure why people are bringing up BLM and Brexit on this thread. It's a bit weird.
What you're saying is strange too. I posted something similar the other day about alternative ideas and literally three people responded to my post trying to make out I was saying the vulnerable were expendable. That's enough evidence alone for me to make my point.
I'm really not sure what you contribute to this forum anymore. You have certain people you like to jump on and have a go at, without coming up with any counter arguments ever. It also seems to be a lot more non-football than football. I'm not trying to be a prick but maybe you should try and make more plans and go out a little more? Getting wound up on here isn't good for anyone.
And, again, what counts as 'vulnerable' changes. Shielded people were the sickest of the sick. But it appears 'underlying conditions' is allowed to include asthma, high blood pressure, other common ailments among the population.But what does that mean in reality?

Another pertinent issue. Too many are at risk in this country to make the economy viable even if you did want to attempt it.And, again, what counts as 'vulnerable' changes. Shielded people were the sickest of the sick. But it appears 'underlying conditions' is allowed to include asthma, high blood pressure, other common ailments among the population.
So are they not vulnerable when we want people to work, vulnerable when we want to excuse the death statistics?
BMI is poor at individual level, yes, but perfectly fine across populations as a rough metric.I know, but the Bmi scale is way out of date, my brother for example he is 1r stone 6ft 3 and classes as overweight, but he is a skinny little rat. Me on the other hand 17 stone 6ft and morbidity obese, atleast that's what I was but I have changed my lifestyle and have lost like 5 stone in 4 months give or take.
Never mind the rest of that nonsense- where are your examples of the old & vulnerable going around trying to guilt the rest of the population?

I think we can all agree it isn’t working but I also don’t think looking at who it affects holds an answers to current questions. The only thing to do is to cut transmission rates.We previously shielded everyone and that didn't work.
I don't really like comparing with other countries, but the data on Sweden suggests they are not having a second wave like the rest of the world. That should be investigated fully.
There has to be some common sense and ideas put forward on how to deal with this. I'm not a scientist and I'm not an economist, but I do not see how anyone can argue that the current method is working.
