No, I was simply replying to your utter nonsense about me not thinking about other people. Quite simple really.

It wasn't nonsense because you clearly don't,unless of course its from your perspective.This unique scenario is creating unique issues,unless you walk in their shoes,it isn't fair to judge others or the problems they may be facing.

Huge government. Corbyn planned on borrowing £100B and you were appalled about the decimation of the public finances, with absolutely no thought for the improvement in peoples lives that might have resulted, the extra years that people may have got and the increased life chances of the young. Nope, it was all about the economy and how much cash you could make. The OBR reckoned we’d be borrowing £372B before yesterday’s announcement, so what it’ll be after another 4/5/6/8/10 weeks of lockdown is anyone’s guess but that’s fine with you.
Hopefully you won’t be on here bitching and moaning about cuts to pensions and pension tax relief, increases in VAT, income tax and NI plus a raft of as yet not mentioned taxes.

How much money *I* could make? Should I add being a clairvoyant to your list of talents?

You are right though that I was absolutely opposed to Corbyn's reckless spending plans. I don't go a bundle on the huge amount of money we have necessarily had to pump in to support people during the COVID crisis either. But there is a key word in that sentence: Necessarily.

Anyway, you are stooping into one big yawnfest which is a political argument and that is inappropriate on this thread.

I am thinking that not going to gym for 4 weeks is a damned sight less important than putting lives at risk. That you seem to be so keen on keeping gyms open, I suggest is a rather personal perspective of your own.
 
More visits to the gym rather than the fridge would have kept many alive is my guess of what we will know come the end of this Pandemic.

Closer contact with people buying groceries than you have in socially distanced, covid compliant gyms where you are keeping your body and mind healthy.

They say, in the US, for every 1% unemployment goes up, 40,000 people die. If the same ratio were true here, that’s around 8,000 people dying for every 1% unemployment goes up.

The Germans are doing as badly as we are at the moment. Their T&T system that worked somewhat in the Summer is not working anymore, because T&T doesn’t work if the R is running faster than tracks and traces reach people.

Why let the truth get in the way of a good story. Seems quite apt for a few recently.

So you dont have an issue with mental health problems rising, suicide rates going up. and other health services being put on the back burner as long as nearly all resources are put into covid. Because that is exactly what is happening.

I didn't challenge anything you have stated as "fact" I only asked what relevant qualifications you have to challenge the consensus of scientists and experts. You said you don't have any.

Statistics are statistics are statistics.
PHE are not publishing location commonality data between cases.
Without it SAGE theories cannot be validated.
Indeed after their fuck up on face masks in March their theories DO NEED to be tested.
 
N Ireland 3 wks ago v 2 wks v last wk v today

Deaths 1 v 5 v 8 v 8 today

Cases 1066 v 1012 v 896 v 685 - very good signs of the circuit breaker working here.

7 day total rolling cases have fallen to 5011 today, It was 6898 a week ago. And 5285 yesterday. Proving this is a real thing and not weekend fluctuation.

Patients 137 v 228 v 317 v 361 today - again signs of slowdown here.

Ventilators 19 v 23 v 27 v 41 - less so here - presumably tied to the ongoing care home issues there and rising deaths.
