We've had masks, lockdowns, distancing etc, for all of 9 months now, and they've done nothing. The virus transmits like all respiratory illnesses, on surfaces, in the air. You cant stop it.
It's inevitable.
This pandemic has been in the making for a long time, modern medicine, extending the life span, poor food choices , lack of exercise. And boom the population is partially disabled, and quite frankly un bloody healthy. We are the sick man of Europe. Most of this is self inflicted, 75% of Britons are either obese of overweight, or way past the 3 score and 10.
So much so, that people are unable to give themselves basic care like going to the toilet or feed themselves. Some people don't even know who they are. This is in fact a recent phenomena, previously people died earlier, and not in the decrepit state we have now.
I think in the future we need to look at palliative care rather pumping people full of drugs to keep them alive, along with extending the care from families via the use of carers. It's been a costly mistake in the end. We wouldn't treat an animal like this so why the obsession from the public and medical science on extending life at any cost. Including complete decimation of the wealth, health, education, and society underneath.
And we have the gall to compare ourselves to other nations, Jesus wept, we have an epidemic of unhealthy people, especially, comparatively to the Far East, our mental and physical health strategy is in dire need of serious introspective public discourse. It's a mess, a costly mess created by a lack of accountability on a personal and governmental level.
Add that to the fact the general person on the street has no resilience whatsoever, just people complaining and crying with hysteria every where. Certainly on social media...............
Economically, the boomer generation, generally those making the most noise are also sitting on 5.5 tn worth of assets thanks in the main to the 10-15% compound interest gained over the lifetime of owning properties. Demanding the sacrifice of those born and those not born is a clear case of selfish interest before everyone else. It's appalling.
This pandemic is an example of the swiss cheese effect, a perfect storm of circumstances all combining to present an ethical dilemma, the Trolley dilemma. Who do we save?
This over reactive scorched earth policy is reeking havoc amongst society, I know we don't wish to see death, however for a 100% of all people it is inevitable. It's an uncomfortable truth.
Facts based on uncomplete data are often thrown around to be used as evidence to support an argument.
What's interesting is, the Inacrc data does not tie in the government message, according to witty and co we were going to be overwhelmed in September. It never happened did it..
The only one true fact is we all die sooner or later, but at what consequence to everyone else.
