Lock Me Up or Let Me Out? Which side of the debate are you?

Does it...well lets take this one piece of ‘medical’ advice

'National and global spread of Covid-19 is accelerating. To reduce hospitalisations, intensive care admissions and death we recommend that those aged between 60 and 69 are particularly stringent when implementing public health measures such as social distancing and personal hygiene.'

The paper recommends that this group of people may make their own decision to isolate.

Thank fully it allows us to use our own common sense and not ‘lock us up’

Thank fully the infection rate doesnt seem to be accelerating despite us over 60’s being outdoors working six days a week ....hmmm

I think that’s a widely discredited piece of advice.

No, you were right. I am intelligent. I am caring. I am also a utilitarian.

Nobody will forget about you. I’m sure you’ll all make enough noise to see to that.

It’s just for a short while so that the young and productive members of society can rescue the economy. It requires a sacrifice on your part. It’s hardly the most dangerous sacrifice people have made is it.

I know it would be utterly unworkable. People wouldn’t adhere to it. Shame.

You really are a patronising **** aren't you!

My wife and I, and 3 children have not left our home, except to take my wife to cancer treatment for very nearly 9 weeks.

The only contact we have had with the outside world is the odd video call and talking to our kids from an upstairs window of our house.

And you moan about lockdown!

You go about your business, enjoy your life, but don't you dare patronise me like that and then claim to "care"...

So? You’ve already denounced it ....so what about the deceleration which you seem to have avoided?
