If you’re in your eighties, nineties and beyond, you may as well enjoy it while you can.
Really? Do you understand nothing at all? Such stupidity.

What people are failing to grasp is that ITS NOT JUST ABOUT THEM.

To depersonalise it - everyone is a body that may need some form of healthcare. The more bodies that do, the more bodies won’t get treated. This applies to those who become ill NOT with CV (remember our hospitals were full before!)

The second point is that each body is also a (highly likely) potential incubator and transmitter for the virus. The exponential spread if we don’t Social distance is horrifying.

I wish this virus was visible so people could see it hopping about, that would change behaviours

I guess it’s just hard to remove the emotion when it’s someone in your family. Would be different if we could FaceTime or talk on the phone etc but we can’t so she’s totally isolated.

I wonder if prisoners will be released if it somehow infringes their human rights to be locked up due to insufficient staff to look after them.
