The idea of the lockdown is to slow the spread allowing the health service to treat a managable number of cases instead of the entire contagion happening in a shorter timeframe. It is not to eliminate the spread, that is impossible.
Alright, but locking down the whole population indiscriminately, instead of approaching it rationally, still makes zero sense. Do you not have the statistics on those who are hospitalised?
 
"Oh, if you triple this other number instead, then it's more." lol The whole point of tripling was to make up for the last 10-12 days rofl. You're just taking liberties with my generosity now.
You told me to triple the number and it would add up to the same as the number of influenza deaths, it doesn't, though a fairer test would be to consider the influenza deaths vs COVID 19 for the last 12 days

What kind of statistics? I have statistics for most countries in terms of mild cases vs. hospitalised and outcomes of hospitalised cases.

Also to ease the pressures on ICU beds from other accidents and incidents that occur when life is at full throttle...

I told you to triple the number in the article/image I linked. And that was to stop you whinging 'but muh data is 10 days old!'. You don't get to triple any number you want to prove your point. lmao
 
So I watched the questioning of the experts yesterday at the briefing , I’m assuming others did . And when asked about the no checks at an airport the issues seemed to be well we wouldn’t know anyway and that infection is already a massive issue and effectively it doesn’t really matter , it won’t make a huge impact .

If I’m wrong I’ll happy accept that so please correct me on the the above and on if 0.1% of those landing per day are infected then due to that law of exponential infection growth they kept mentioning then in 30 days isn’t that like just short of 8,000 inflected ? And well 15,000 people are landing per day so per month that seems like a potentially huge issue or am I not getting this ?
 
Sweden is a real outlier. I don't understand how they have got away with this in the way that they have. Maybe they won't continue to, hopefully they will.

Is your suggestion that if everybody followed Sweden's approach they would get the same results?
Well you could look at daily cases in every country that has locked down effectively before and after the lockdown and compare to countries that haven't implemented it well.

;)

Maybe they've gotten away with it because they haven't overreacted like every other EU nation.

Your data missing double the deaths is quite significant to your argument, you were suggesting 3 times as many dies of influenza (then tried to worm out of that), now you are suggesting its equal.

In the last 12 days, under the same conditions as each other compare the the two, and influenza probably has an advantage as it could run rampant before the lockdown.
 
The age of the patients or any pre-existing conditions they might have.

That I don't have. I mentioned this earlier today, some countries are recording any death where a patient tests positive post mortum as a COVID19 death, others are only counting those who die in a hospital. That is one of the limitations in tracking this country to country.

On the testing, he said its pretty much a waste of time. On the numbers, no idea how many, but every passenger flight is a repatriation one. My Brother in Law is on his way to India today to do one for BA.
