'The economic damage is becoming unsustainable, the price in terms of other untreated serious illness is becoming ever more apparent,' writes oflynnsocial

Britain's coronavirus experience would make a startlingly good plot for a dystopian science-fiction novel. A new infectious disease sweeps through a society. Though the fatality rate is not high, contemporary attitudes view risk and death as unacceptable intruders, so the regime must try to eliminate the virus.

oflynnsocial What is the acceptable level of infections/deaths?

oflynnsocial The so-called new normal, in which Boris J dictates how many humans you can peacefully interact with, is dystopian. Am I the only one who is genuinely more worried about government overreach than a virus which kills less than 0.5% of people it infects?

oflynnsocial Their excuse The minister of Wales saying non essential items not on sale is just an excuse to close little businesses. People will go online and find it cheaper and will not shop in small stores again.

DailyMailUK Oh well, never mind. France is just somewhere you fly over on the way to somewhere nicer anyway. Bad news is Boris tends to do what Macron tells him - like Lockdown v1.. Boris doesn’t need scientists he goes it alone unfortunately in Spring it meant an additional 20,000 people died who knows how many he can add to that now it’s clear he’s once again ignoring scientific advice, very odd how he also claims to be following scientific advice
