COVID-19 — Coronavirus

I know you didn't mean it, but that's a distraction from the question - how do Switzerland (or anyone) know that no child has ever infected an adult?

I meant what you have said! But have written it badly! Kind of asking the same thing - nobody (with very few exceptions) can know who they have been infected by and that, by definition, nobody could know if a child has/hasn't infected them.

We’re not in a position to ease any restrictions looking at our current case numbers. This is being dragged out for longer due to the severity (lack of compared to Italy) of the lockdown.

They have clearly shown in anyone’s mind that your point about 0.00001 percent is an absolute ridiculous point. I quite simply fail to see how anyone can argue with that. No doubt you will try.

No need to try; the government are doing a great job of demonstrating it themselves.
Chair of the Conservative backbench 1922 committee, Graham Brady, has called for the lifting of “arbitrary rules and limitations on freedom as quickly as possible” and suggested the public had been “a little too willing to stay at home”.

Yes that proved your point 100 percent.

How dare the public protect themselves when there's money to be made.

It’s nothing to do with that. We lockdown forever and more people will die from non covid issues. Poverty / domestic violence / suicides / cancer. Surely you can see there is a very difficult trade off?

Second peak in this country is gonna be grim, and it'll probably start building as of tomorrow with headlines like this. Fucking state of it. 'Hurrah' on a day when they announced over 600 people had died and we passed 30k. 'Draconian' too...embarrassing and dangerous stuff.

Jesus wept.

Really not sure what some people are wanting. Are they really suggesting unending lockdown with no easing (with restrictions and regulations) so a completely collapsed economy, potential food shortages, increasing domestic violence, increasing mental illness, growing numbers of suicides etc etc etc or the phased easing like the government is suggesting ? What's the bloody alternative ?

Yes get that nasty government to let us sit at home sunbathe and keep giving us money.
