I'm sorry, but I don't care which numskull has come up with that analysis but it is patently complete and utter bollocks.Relative risk is interesting in this respect though. If you’re under 65 with no significant health risks, dying from this disease in Germany is the same risk as driving, or being driven, 9 miles a day. In Italy it’s 48 miles per day and, given our roads are much safer than Italy’s, I’d imagine that our equivalent is about 21. Maybe we should think about who we encourage to self isolate rather than the enormous damage we are about to do to the economy and all the other associated heath problems that will bring with it?

Not if you’re under 65 with no severe underlying health conditions.I'm sorry, but I don't care which numskull has come up with that analysis but it is patently complete and utter bollocks.
The idea that I have as much chance of dying from driving 21 miles a day is patently obviously, absolute nonsense.
Road fatalities in the UK are around 5 per *billion* vehicle miles driven. 1 in every 200 million miles driven. Over the course of a year that would mean doing 21 miles per day give you a 0.0038% chance of being killed. Compared to what, 0.2% for Coronavirus? So just 50 times more likely.

So you're saying anyone under 65 with no underlying health conditions has only a 0.0038% chance of dying if they contract COVID-19. Nonsense.Not if you’re under 65 with no severe underlying health conditions.
The focus on shielding the elderly is not about saving their lives. It is to protect the NHS from being overwhelmed by older people needing heavy interventionist treatment, as they are much more susceptible to serious condition from the virus.
The NHS now have a scoring system for deciding whether to treat ppl for this virus when resources are thin. If you are over 70, have underlying conditions, take immuno suppressant drugs, or have a compromised immune system, you will get palliative care only and be treated as NTBR, which means you will be let go, no attempt made to keep you alive.
As someone who falls into this category, that is a bit scary.
And how can it be that I have to rely on people like you, 'johnny', someone who doesn't know me from Adam, to sort me out with some masks for my teacher wife, just so I'm not lying in bed awake all night worrying about her going into teach still each week?
The fact you drove out of your way to drop them on my driveway at my house, stuff like this you don't ever forget.
There are so many people who are being put in harms way, yet without the kindness of others, like on Blue Moon, they are shit outta luck.
Thanks again, bud.
It wasn't that long a go Cheltenham went ahead.
It wasn't that long a go pubs were open. Mental to think that for a week instructions weren't clear, people were still heading to the pubs and then they allowed for that last Friday night of drinking.
I think 100% focus should be on saving lives.
