If we could go back do you wish we went down the herd immunity route?

Just curious

YABU - no
YANBU - yes

No, at least 300,000 would have died. Far too high a price to pay.

Can you let me know where you got your crystal ball? I'd really like one.

Also can you give me the lottery numbers for tonight?

Thanks.

Um, no. YAB seriously U.

No desire to have seen even more people die and the NHS collapse under the strain.

People keep talking about being over it, bored with it, done with it like it's some kind of Netflix series or food craze. I feel very sorry for people whose businesses or mental health have suffered but those who are just a bit fed up with not being able to do exactly what they like need to have a word with themselves.

No, given all the drugs that they have found since this pandemic began, I'm really pleased that they didn't go for herd immunity and have needless deaths on their hands.

Virologist here. YABVVVVVU.

Human being here. OP, YABVVVVVU

Whilst ‘here immunity’ is a bit of a misnomer because it’s supposed to be applied in the context of vaccination which then protects those doh cannot vaccinate - we’re still in that route. Until we can vaccinate this is a case of doing what we can (or rather the government pleasing those who are busy lobbying for their bottom line).

I mean that would be horrendous.

Big, fat No.
