I cut it off at 50 because it is at that point when the mortality rate starts to get unacceptably higher based on the figures produced by the ONS. A 50 year old would still fit into the 1/1000 or less range, whereas a 70 year old would be more like 1/75. It has nothing to do with worthiness of life and so I'm not too sure where you are coming from there? I am saying that we could afford to allow the population below aged 50 to engage in normal everyday life and develop immunity, with fairly limited health impacts, whilst protecting the vulnerable.
Its a 'nice idea' but as nothing has yet been proven re the effects of acquired immunity as of now . So It cannot be done. Im not saying it may not be a way forward?
Are you sure that it isn't you and the rest of those who are essentially forcing kids to miss education and proper socialisation as well as setting up society for some kind of weird robotic temperature measured, wherabouts monitored, drug injected, hand sanitiser swilling, immune suppressant future are not the ones who are being selfish?
Even if 60% of the population is necessary to develop full herd immunity, even at levels of 40 or 50% the transmission of the virus would be massively suppressed.
I'm not sure it is practical any more because I think that the media and to a certain extent the Govermernment have got normal rational people completely frozen with fear and to that extent, we have lost all sense of sound judgement and traded it in for so called 'safety'. I read today that the Unions and Schools are already talking about social distancing for kids in schools and basically conjuring up ways to prevent our kids from developing the natural immunity they should be free to aquire, despite practically zero risk to their health... Frankly it is disgusting to do this to these kids... Millions of young lives missing out on normal activity for absoltely no good reason whatsoever, not allowed to be close to other kids, taught that close contact is dangerous....No doubt mentally scarred for life with this utter bullshit!! Never mind though... Just as long as they don't get it and 'infect and kill and old person'
Yes im loving it. Perhaps they have scared everybody shitless We all agree it sucks, I hate it tbh.
Young people are adaptable & have their whole life ahead of them so it should be no hardship to sit on their xbox learn a bit of responsibility and protect older folk for a bit. Surely its more important to get the oldies out and about more as they have less time left lol
So we're fucked...This virus and the madness that goes with it are likely to be stuck with us forever... A whole generation of kids screwed up millions of lives spent in some kind of virtual reality shitty excuse for real life, just because we're all scared shitless of a virus that if the entire population of under 50's in the UK were exposed would result in a few thousand deaths (around maybe 20 of which might possibly be under 16, in a worst case scenario)....More people die in the UK every single week.
So no.... The solution is that we expose the population, including kids, no doubt, to a rushed vaccine and we'll play Russian Roulette with that instead.
I get ya but whose to say you need to be exposed to either the virus or the Vac? Lets just all keep our fingers crossed & it will blow over or mutate in a nice way in the next few months? Its the British way Bsides Its all down to 5g really anyway innit
Happy Apocolypse
P.S. It seems over 65% of the population are under 50 in the UK
I wish i was young again!! lol
