But this is exactly what Dan has been doing Archived Message

“But in that case, it surely falls upon you to convince your opponents, through mature, sensible, rational argument, that it isn’t.” I sent a quote from Dan to someone I know who has been taken in by this 'Covid is a hoax' 'argument.' Is this not 'mature, sensible, rational argument?' “People who have been stable suddenly deteriorate round about day 9. Usually lung failure but heart and brain involvement also described. Also kidney failure. Maybe the virus or the immune response. Either way it's bad. When I left there were 14 patients like this. Now we have converted and filled two more ICUs with patients and are planning to open another. All the hospitals around us in London are doing the same thing. None of it will be enough and certainly an exception to normal rules of engagement. Apparently, according to the deniers, this is all entirely normal, nothing unusual. Doesn't justify even minor public health measures. Of course it's a false dichotomy. I could not reject more, totalitarian control but neither is this a minor disease which will pass through the population like a bad flu season and with a small peak in excess deaths. So we need a plan which rejects fascism but which also keeps us safe. Pretending this is a hoax or a minor illness or something which doesn't need a concerted response isn't that. It writes off tens if not hundreds of thousands of older people. Not a panic, just an appraisal of the world my colleagues are battling in at the moment...........”
