People do not get immunity once infected bullshit. The one case which was alleged to have tested positive after recovery has since been disproven. And by that token, lockdown would achieve nothing because after two weeks all those who had recovered would be back out there and lockdown would have ended so nothing would have been achieved.
An expert on BBC was saying last week that actually we do need a proportion of society to catch it so that herd immunity is developed.
Interesting that people are saying how a bit of a hit to the economy is a small price to pay given we’ve only had three deaths out of a population of 60 million, and yet when Brexit was happening those same people were talking about how Brexit was going to destroy the economy.
Some of the measures people want putting in place here will be far more detrimental to the economy than Brexit ever would.
And all the “clearly you don’t care if people die” rhetoric is just guilt-tripping bollocks.
Of course people care about people dying. But people die all the time, of cancer, of lung disease, of various other environmental conditions. Presumably if you drive a car you don’t care about people dying of cancer given you’re happily throwing out fumes into the environment.
