Just about 3k, Mr 'do.
It would suit me down to the ground. Costs me £10,500 per year for season ticket and parking.

He beats the Toby Young acolytes regurgitating eugenicist mantra in the last couple of pages, although such thoughts and statistics should be in politico thread, of course only when it suits agenda!

Try reading what I typed, and remember it was in response to what you typed.
I didn't say an 80 year old with underlying conditions was twice as likely to die. I said roughly 50% of 80 year old will have an underlying condition. You said 60% of people with underlying conditiins would die within six months.
I then demonstrated that, of people in the age range 80 to 84, if half of them have an underlying condition, then according to your 60% estimate, you'd expect 30% of them to die in a six month period
I then demonstrated that your expected mortality rate for that demographic, would lead to roughly the same number of deaths in that age range as there is in the whole population over a whole year. If you can't see how ridiculous that is, then there's no hope for you.
It's OK to admit that what you read was probably wrong, or even you saw a headline and misintepreted it, we all mistakes ( what I've typed could be utter bollocks, but I don't think it is ). If, rather than accept a reasoned argument, and end up admitting you were likely wrong, then you're very well suited to the internet !
Seriously though, dig out the article you read and link us up, it'll be in your search history so shouldn't be hard to find.

Has the government overreacted to the Coronavirus Crisis?
"Like a growing number of people, I’m beginning to suspect the Government has overreacted to the coronavirus crisis. I’m not talking about the cost to our liberty, although that’s worrying, but the economic cost. Even if we accept the statistical modelling of Dr Neil Ferguson’s team at Imperial College, which I’ll come to in a minute, spending £350 billion to prolong the lives of a few hundred thousand mostly elderly people is an irresponsible use of taxpayers’ money. That may sound cold-hearted, but this isn’t a straightforward trade-off between public health and economic health. People are killed by economic downturns just as surely as they are by pandemics and more years of life will be lost than saved if the lockdown is prolonged. The Government should end it as soon as possible and encourage people to return to work, limiting social distancing measures to the elderly and those with underlying health conditions".

I don't understand why the testing centres are empty then. And the people at home are still complaining about not getting tested
I accept your point that there's so many off sick that you can't possibly test them all. But you'd expect the test centres to be jam packed.
That's what I don't understand and why I made that post. Do you know

You can't put them on. buses either as they risk infecting other N HS staff. The better of 2 evils I thought.

I've recently made far fewer visits to this thread as I've found it's just turned into a vehicle for the usual political activists to pedal their own agenda yet again and again and again.
Some of them seemingly posting every minute.
Depressing.

You're going straight to hell for that one. I'll already be there, just ring the Fire and Brimstone Suite.
Basically this for every ailment you have tbh. Had a sinus infection go on for a month with horrible pain behind my eyes, in case it 'went away' and didn't cost me hundred something dollars to get sorted.
