Wow where do you start with this!! So I will confine my comments to a hope that your scaremongering about Covid morphing into a supercharged version of Ebola never comes to pass or we're really fucked.No doubt you think the Holocaust was an exaggeration as well. The whole country is in lock down and you think it's some kind of PR excersise.
Take a look at what happens if this goes unchecked by lock down by having a read of events of 1918-19 and when the virus really gets hold and starts to mutate into far more virulent forms that act like a haemorrhagic fever and kill a healthy individual in 12 hours.
I have lots of friends in the health service from consultants to porters across several hospitals in the north west. All of them say they have never seen anything like this outbreak and the number of deaths it's causing. I was speaking to one of 3 people I know who have had it this morning who is just out of hospital. She was aware 2 people died on the ward she was on in the few days she was there. To back this up the local authority have taken on extra staff at the crematorium so they can work around the clock. To suggest it's being blown out of proportion is quite frankly absurd. As an aside Huby province reports areas going into secondary lock down under Chinese authority orders due further outbreaks now occurring and those who thought they were immune having suffered the disease once have become re infected or the active virus has become reanimated. This thing has not finished by a long way yet.
Of course the economic outlook is bleak and those of us who are middle aged will be picking the tax bill up for this for the rest of our lives. That too will have its casualties over time. For someone educated enough to have a 2.1 I'd expect a better understanding of this kind of government intervention being absolutely necessary in these circumstances.
