So average age of death is 82.

Majority of northwest infections is 40 and under.

There is a massive imbalance in the risk factor it seems for them to be suggesting further lockdowns.

Liverpool is 'days away from circuit-breaker two-week local lockdown'

Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson said it is 'only a matter of time' before comprehensive lockdown measures are introduced in the north-west city.

Are you suggesting there's no relationship between each figure?

Based on the official death figures for this year and compared to previous years yes.

The numbers have barely changed this year under 44 , it's there in black and white on the government website.

So if the average age is under 40 of infection, then it isn't contributing to more deaths as a result , otherwise the average age of infection would be much higher.

...because most older people are HAVING to lock themselves away unlike in other years...and even then they still die in the same numbers...because some are being infected by people who come into contact with them with the virus.

Well yes, that makes sense ?

So if the majority of cases are in the age group not dying and the ones who are at risk are shielded away and not dying, then there is a much smaller issue than in march where it was the other way around.

And they aren't dying in the same numbers? Because at one point it was thousands and recently it's been like 20? Much lower than other age related illness deaths.

Won’t change a single thing.

Sure it’ll go back down for a bit, than it’ll slam back up once it’s lifted.

The coronavirus Hokey Cokey.

There has got to be a better way.

In your scenario, people over a certain age are having to hide away just so people under 40 can continue their normal life of socialisng.

Does that make sense to you?

The better way is to behave responsibly when not in a lcokdown. Then the lockdowns aren't required. Do you think that's what happened this summer?

Based literally on anyone over a certain age dying from covid-19 and anyone under a certain age not dying , yes?

Anyone can go out and do anything in my scenario, just accept the risk of doing so. People still in masks and socially distancing to reduce numbers but if you want to go out , it's on you.

It's literally in the figures. Average age of death is 82. Majority of Liverpool infections are 40 and under. It makes less sense to not connect the dots there!

I’ve traveled the length and breadth of the country since everything got lifted and bar a load of stoned young lads camping and partying in the Lakes one night, I’ve yet to see any of this irresponsible behaviour that you somehow manage to see every day.

Do you think people will “ behave “ over the Christmas period ?

I’d go for not a chance in hell.

That's basically Darwinian.

That anyone could proffer it in all seriousness underlines how far we've fallen away from being a civilised nation.

You mightn't have seen it personally, but you're not suggesting there hasn't been mass gatherings in a number of settings up and down the country are you? That would be ridiculous.

But...

We are talking about a virus that kills the very old and sick in society?!

Like literally anything else?

I'm not sure what you are getting at, everything kills the old and sick, not just covid-19.

I'm not sure how you can dismiss the fact of this? Literally that is reality , we vaccinate the old and sick for the flu for the exact same reason as we should protect them for this. Otherwise they die from it, just like this?

I've said it before but people seem to forget reality these past 6 months. This isn't the first virus to kill the old and sick in society!
