Yes, that is true,I interpreted yours rightly or wrongly as an example of a wider point

Yes, we can’t and shouldn’t refuse. The sacrifices being made by everyone is so severe though it would be great if people did what they could (and thanks btw :thumbsup:) Read today in FT that vitamin d is really helpful “It is clear that the existing medical literature on the crucial role of...

Agree that the facts show that if you are obese or overweight you’d are more likely to get seriously ill and that there is a risk the nhs won’t be able to cope (although mitigated in part now the nightingale hospitals are now ready, one of the few successes of this shambolic govt). But there is...

Not to your specific Q, but the allocation of scarce resource to our health service Vs other activity is by itself a life and death decision which the government make on our behalf

Fair point but it would be good that the government reviewed that and other options and were clearer on why they are choosing the path they are. There are other options than the Hokey Cokey, e.g. the New Zealand that means ****ing getting on it, full lockdown long enough to kills it, managing...

Sure, there is different guidance for those clinically extremely vulnerable. I don’t believe it’s compulsory. As you say, it’s advice. If we were to be more restrictive then the support for that section of our society would need to be massively stepped up

There is no simple answer here obviously but the average age of death in England is 82 and over 80% in critical care are overweight or obese. For me we need to wrap up in cotton wool the most vulnerable and let the rest get back to something closer to normality.
