    From my perspective, your the 1 ignoring what I have to say, therefore unable to have an intelligent debate.

    Just because you disagree with me, doesn't mean that I'm wrong and your right.

    1. It's not the Plague
    2. If it mutates then that's a seperate virus and shit storm, deal with when/if it happens, doesn't make decisions based on no evidence.
    3. We are shutting down society and bankrupting the world to save the old and ill our kids kids kids will be paying for this crap.
    4. Shit Happens, it's bad, but it happens, learn to live with it, 0.35% of the population allowing for untested / don't get ill from it, is not a big %%%. You can't save everyone.

    Fittest / Random chance!

    I've had it, no big deal, but I might get murdered when my house gets looted so not going to claim survived until normallity resumes, which is a long way away.



    Read the Title, the cure ( well Strategy ) is worse then the virus!!

    Tough call, even though they have an id on big risk groups= [1] weak immune systems [2] old folks - not that Jack LaLane old folks are much of a risk.

    It's estimated from the 70Mil that live in the UK 250,000 will die, that's approx 0.35%.

    These numbers of 3.8% look bad, because it's 3.8% of tested people, people don't get tested unless there already very poorly, it's all a lie to get you scared and normal 20-50 years olds are scared, because 1 40 year old got it and died, there tiny numbers.

    1 Person, got better than re caught it, so you can keep catching it, likely a incorrect test the 1st time, mixed up with someone else, 1 person is ignore till it's 1000nd's, just scare tactics.

    Not only panic, also distress, lots of folks locked alone , families figthing each other in cramped conditions without much of a possiblility from taking a break of each other, saw a young lady I follow on Instagram ( weightlifter) going through anxiety and it wasn t cute. This is only the beginning of the lockdown, with neighbours calling cops on someone jogging on the street ( the new Enemy Public n1, such psychos...). Ugly, although at home we are managing fine after 6 days (some parents have locked their kids for longer, I wished my kids had friends still able to visit but that s not the case atm). It could get much worse, if we lost access to cash or banking transactions, our daily sports practice or if they closed the residence large gardens, but that s already the daily life of many people in Spain. Back in Shenzhen most people were still able to go out during the crisis, things aren t back to normal there yet, with schools closed indefinitely afaik and closed since late January.
    I have a hard time believing this lockdown is the best solution
