Are these restrictions causing more harm than the virus itself?
People losing their jobs
A lot kids going hungry
People dying of cancelled operations
People dying of preventable problems because they're scared to go to hospital
Mental health problems
Businesses forced to close
Loneliness
We're going to make things worse by trying to prevent this disease from spreading.

They were talking about this on the TV the other day saying that we are doing it all wrong.Steve30000 wrote: ↑23 Oct 2020, 18:37 People losing their jobs

The solution is staring us in the face but we seem to want to do as we did before which caused more problems than enough.

It's all about personal choice.
If they want to lock me away with all my needs catered for I would volunteer.
So if that was being sarky, forget it.
None of us want to close anything down but if the elderly are the ones that are dying of it, ask them nicely what they want and provide for them.
As well as those with medical issues etc.

I'd like to know how we'd cope with a much worse pandemic, like the black death..Sunderland Nut wrote: ↑24 Oct 2020, 15:04Only if they want to and many prefer this.

It's all about isolating the problem.Steve30000 wrote: ↑24 Oct 2020, 19:33

But, people still need the shops etc.
This pandemic wasn't seen in advance although there are loads of movies predicting similar situations and we always knew it could happen anyway.
They will need to sort themselves out and put in place something which we can put into action immediately next time.

Re: Are these restrictions causing more harm than the virus itself?
If I remember correctly, the government had a pandemic contingency plan in place, and funds set aside... They had plans in place and even carried out exercises, and had stockpiles of ppe.Sunderland Nut wrote: ↑25 Oct 2020, 10:46It's all about isolating the problem.Steve30000 wrote: ↑24 Oct 2020, 19:33

But the Conservative government ignored the advice and stopped the funding as they thought it wouldn't be needed any time soon..
This was reported some time ago, but people seem to have forgotten this.
