    Well that'd make another interesting thread and one I'd be happy to contribute to. But they are, and right now economic depression will lead to deaths, it always does. More than the virus? Who knows? But a younger & poorer demograph that's for sure and that can't be right?

    You would honestly just play this out wouldn't you?

    It would be what will be will be with you and you catch it you catch it.

    I do believe that Boris thinks we will all catch it at some point. It's just a case of if you catch it before the vaccine can you handle it.

    Sorry point scoring I meant. Your sarcastic style response is not needed at this time.

    It is you are right but it doesn't have to be but that may be another thread. When all this is done super wealthy will control even more of the world's money and normal people will be even more laden with debt or as I like to call debt enslavement.

    The government is taking its lead from experts, who have already said 80% of us will likely get it. Most will recover but some will not.

    A potentially lethal virus that effects the respiratory system. No better time to stop smoking.

    Hey the obvious benefits of giving up smoking. Interesting, no government advice on smoking

    Stop being a hypocrite you’re the only one being argumentative. Me and Abbo had a disagreement on an online forum because we share different points of view nothing else, nobody else felt the need to jump in.

    At 57 l am not old or young, but l am fit & healthy, as l have said before, l am resigned to getting it because of my job. Am l worried about getting the virus? Nope. What worries me is the economic & human cost on others.

    If we were not so intent, and unnecessarily, keen on eating our fellow creatures then we wouldn't have this problem.....lots of lessons here, from eating to Britain's ridiculous food supply where we import 75+ of our fruit & veg into a very green & fertile land.

    They wouldn’t want to jeopardise their tax. But yes I agree. Although there is advice from the British Lung Foundation and the NHS on it.

    I think he is handling it the best way he can. He is walking a very thin line. He is desperate not to panic ppl and at the same time appeal to ppl’s personal responsibility. The only problem with that some ppl don’t have any personal responsibility and look to blame others. What has heartened me though is a number of young ppl have come forward to volunteer and show civic responsibility. I don’t think the Police will be used to keep public order, I think we will see the army on the streets, leaving the Police to get on with fighting crime etc, might be wrong, but if they really have to ramp it up to keep ppl indoors it will be the army.

    You publicly disagreed about how someone was handling the virus? Arguing semantics. How sad.

    That's because every time Borris gets pressured he gives in.

    Don't they will be a full lockdown until he sorts out the self employed and helps everyone at home.

    Plus 1.5 million won't get their letters by Tuesday.
