Locking people down and restrictions is not the way to do it, like that or not.

Especially if those getting ill are NOT vaccinated.
I'm all for personal choice but it does have implications for the person chosing not to get vaccinated down the line.
Much like smoking and alcohol.
If we run out if beds then the unvaccinated must come behind the vaccinated in the queue.

so you think letting thousands of innocent people die is the answer?

If a person is contagious and will spread the virus to others he or she is in contact with - what do you suggest?

You are Chris Whitty and I claim my £5.

For clarity I’ve never said it’s ok for thousands to die but nice try. Thousands are not currently dying either are they, in fact, covid hospitalisations are not bringing the NHS to its knees, despite being told by all the experts it would so let’s move onto the argument about the NHS and how we equip it for the next 100 years and 70 million people and let’s stop hiding behind covid.

Omicron is a mild illness ffs, it’s not Ebola!

would you give that advice to a elder loved relative of yours ?

Double jabbed and boosted then they will be fine, it’s inevitable everyone will get it. Of course I wouldn’t want anyone I know to get any kind of illness so it’s a pathetic question.

Nobody is locked down, restrictions are and will be used if they think hospitals are in danger of being overwhelmed, doesn't matter whether I or you like it. It's how every country deals with it. Just saying hospitals should be able to cope without restrictions isn't a plan.

Thank you Dr. Blueinsa. Your expert opinion on this matter - contrary to health experts and science is most welcome. With any Goddamn luck whatsoever, we'll not be following your advice and will avoid the needless deaths of thousands of individuals when hospitalization becomes impossible due to the overwhelming number of affected people.

Omicron deaths are 25% of Delta wave deaths in SA. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/20...ust-quarter-deaths-previous-waves-first-data/
How this applies to the UK, with our older population is another matter.

Which is okay as a point of view I understand it, but we know it isn't going to happen those people will be treated along with anyone else, we are hardly going to turf out some unvaccinated to let in some vaccinated so again we have deal with the reality as it is, not as we'd wish it.
