Evil Pixie - and yet the experience of my American friends is very different to what the media portrays - odd that. Unless we live in those countries all we know is what the press tells us.

A killfile would be a useful facility for this forum.

Jovi. It sounds like as far as you are concerned there is little to no risk from Covid 19 and we should just have carried on with no changes and see what happens.
I’ve just read a story about an a & e that had to close as 70 staff were off at same time. This followed a training event With poor social distancing and one nurse passed the virus on to 16 others.

Bazo - all anecdotal. Again, what is your response to the claims hospitals would be overrun after BE Day/protests/beaches....
Bazo - your story is anecdotal as is mine that in my area no hospital admissions for over two weeks & no deaths to close on a month. Each leads it’s it’s own conclusion.
Hospitals are not overrun, even the governments own figures show death rate/infractions falling other than a few localised cases. Personally I’m not living in fear of what may or may not happen this week or next.
People have been ignoring lockdown/mixing for weeks around here - groups of teens meeting & mixing & going back to their respective homes & yet still no problems.

“I’ve just read a story’ wasn’t I castigated for making that exact same point to back up my view!

"Personally I’m not living in fear of what may or may not happen this week or next. "
Perhaps you could have a word with the person who posted this:
"I’d say starving because you have no income & no roof over your head as no mesns of generating any income because your business is forced to close would be pretty catastrophic which is what another lockdown would lead to."
LOL.

Bazo - I believe there was a risk back in March/April & measures were required. However I now believe that risk is very greatly reduced & the ongoing spreading of fear & what ifs & ever more draconian measures re masks is disproportionate to the actual risk. We are storing up for ourselves way more problems in the future with peoples mental health by constantly feeding them with fear & doom mongering potentially what if scenarios.

I’m not sure I get your point had? That post was explicitly about not worrying & not forcing lockdown again as it will lead to widespread poverty & loss of income. That’s what I’m fearful of - complete overreaction leading to ever more draconian in lockdowns. I’m not fearful of living - quite the reverse.
