Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Lockdown is completely ruining people's lives and isn't sustainable. People are dying because of it.

There's no easy answer, but track and trace is the way to go.

While the system leaves far too much to be desired, having tests that are quicker and more accurate is a good place to start.

Are hundreds dying per day because of a lockdown? They are with this virus.

Are hundreds dying per day because of a lockdown? They are with this virus.

Hundreds are also dying because of mental health issues increasing due to either being laid off or furloughed and having to decide between eating or staying warm, others due a rise in domestic violence from being locked in with their significant others

The entire world has been massively impacted by this since March, and even earlier, hopefully these vaccines can go a long way to helping stem the virus and bring back a sense of normality but even then we could be talking another year or two before things fully recover

Says sports courts etc. opening. Wonder if this means 5-a-side will re-start? Hmm.

...and then after Christmas it'll be back into a lockdown. More lives lost, but Crimbo was boss.

Around two weeks after Johnny and Tiger Lilly go back to School.

It's bizzare such willy waving on those travel corridors when it was 20 in 100,000, and now these weird tiers with varying ratios depending where you live in England much higher than the 20. We really are in clown country.

Tremendous social distancing in Buenos Aires today. They’ll be burying more than just Maradona next week.
Police firing tear gas to restore order because an old footballer died. ffs.

It's not hundreds every day. Look at these appalling rates of death per day from Covid19. It's an outrage that places are opening...opening for BUSINESS.

An utter basket case of a country, and the daft get Thatcher's Kinder who populate it who willingly get pulled from pillar to post by a bunch of murderers are repulsive.

Tests now a bad thing because the results don't suit the agenda, I guess.

The tests aren't exaclty fool proof like are they?

One death caused by lockdown is one death too many. Or do you dispute that lockdown measures cause deaths? Or even if you accept that they do, are they less important than COVID deaths? Is it simply a numbers game and the needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few?

I disuote that hundreds every day are dyoing of non-Covid19 deaths attributable to the virus. Do you have the figures to back the claim made by others up?

I never made that claim. Hence why I never asked you if lockdown is responsible for hundreds of deaths.

I believe one death caused by lockdown is one death too many. I asked if you share this notion and if you believe that lockdown measures will cause any deaths. Do you? And if so, how do you rationalise those deaths?

1 thing kills a few people, the other kills thousands.

Thats how you rationalise it.

So you are comfortable supporting something which is killing people? It’s acceptable to sacrifice a few people?

 

[Nymzee]

There is no solution to COVID that results in no deaths whether that be from COVID itself, other ailments or mental health. Unsure why people are arguing either way when it’s inevitable.

Yes, im very comfortable in trying to save as many lives as we possibly can.

Mainly cos I'm a normal functioning human and not a sociopath gym bellend.

Option A : Do nothing and watch as they go around with a truck collecting bodies in the street
Option B : Try and save lives

Pick 1.
