Thanks for your answer and info on viral/bacterial pneumonia. Mine was indeed eventually treated with antibiotics. I don't think you are considering the consequences of letting the virus run through the population unchecked. Unless you are arguing that people with corona virus should stay at home and be left to die .. You've made this argument before. Again, even quoting you, it's NOT a dichotomy -- either a lockdown, or letting people die. The huge amounts the government must now spend on universal credit and lost earnings of businesses could be spent on services caring for the weak, sick, elderly and vulnerable. GPs already have lots of data regarding such people. Can't we have extra nurses making home visits, can't we set up temporary hospitals, manufacture masks and ventilators en masse? Finally, I get the feeling you're conflating me with people arguing for eugenics. I have no truck with OffG and Spiked, if that's what these publications are arguing for. Nor with the eugenics crowd in the elite. As you rightly say, they don't give a #### about the poor and vulnerable. But this lockdown hits the poor hardest. As I've mentioned before, if you're retired, well-off, able to work from home, this lockdown is not such a big deal. If you're a single mother in a bedsit with four kids, lost your cleaning job, waiting for your universal credit application to go through, things start looking pretty grim. |
