So Has The Lock Down Been Worth The Pain?
The news today stated that the economy shrank by over 20% and we could be heading for 3 million unemployed or more with all the misery and despair which it will create. Has it been worth it really, the human obsession with having to save every single life at all costs and that we must keep everyone alive as long as possible no matter how old, ill or frail they might again at all costs. Ironically the human cost of all this in years to come will be terrible in terms of the misery, joblessness, poverty, homelessness and possible social unrest. No doubt I myself will be accused of being inhumane for questioning the wisdom of the life above everything else attitude. As Mr Spock used to say on star trek, "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few", bet he wouldn't be allowed to say it now, but that's another story.

No - and i.m.o. it never was. Poverty, a horribly diminished NHS (bad enough to begin with) and stress are going to cause far more deaths in the long run and unnecessary hardship to all.
I was adamant that in June all needed to be back at school/work. Because of that my younger daughter no longer speaks to me. I was right, however. There was a case for a few weeks' break to assess the situation - 2 wks. before Easter hols.(also 2 wks.) then a couple of weeks to gear up again.
This nannying protection of us all is horrible - we are writing to our council about it (have had another inane letter about being safe - once you are born you are at risk). Give us the facts, let us know who is vulnerable - we knew that by June - and let the vulnerable look after themselves with additional help. Me, I'm still here, but eyesight deteriorating because of hosp. appts. being cancelled. I'd rather have my sight and make my own decisions, thanks.

// most of the OAP deaths are with Covid not of it. The Quacks are having a field day.//
no the quacks are not having a field day at the numbers dying. No wonder I insult people like TTT of low intelligence - shame on you! see his pathetic whining complaint on the Lammy thread.
//most of the OAP deaths are with Covid not of it. // - was noticed by Carl heneghan who was in my year I was reminded .....
the only drawback about that - is that the numbers dying by, with or from Covid STILL do not account for the exces sdeaths
and the excess deaths way of reckoning still seems to be more accurate
The revision of number of covid deaths - doesnt resurrect anyone TTT.
No one is going around knocking on coffins saying ( get up and come out. you are not dead anymore - and perhaps might not have been anyway (*))
They are still dead and died from something and there are too many
(*) implying fraud.... cute huh? well why not .....
