You say the 200k deaths is disputed. Which organisations are saying it would be significant lower than 200k (maybe 50k?) is we basically carried on as normal (if not feeling ill)? UK is not the only country to apply social distancing. There is evidence from Italy, Spain that this virus can kill lots of people. , so who is saying we shouldn't apply social distancing & deaths Weill be low anyway. |

There's a reason why experts compare it to the Spanish flu of 1919 and other pandemics and don't waste their time comparing it to a recent year with a spike but no pandemic, and before the worst stage of the pandemic has hit too, like the person who wrote that article tried to. He is not even named on it as far as I can see. Can you not see how ridiculous and agenda-driven the comparison in that article is?

I’ve never said social distancing is wrong! I’m questioning the extent of it. Bear in mind most people who are ill isolate themselves anyway.
The 200k-500k prediction cannot possibly assume no action would be taken. That’s plain daft as there are all kinds of regular actions taken, especially for the vulnerable, in a virus outbreak. People a symptomatic take preventative measures all the time. |

The overall burden of influenza for the 2014-2015 season was an estimated 30 million influenza illnesses, 14 million influenza-associated medical visits, 591,000 influenza-related hospitalizations, and 51,000 flu-associated deaths (Table: Estimated Influenza Disease Burden, by Season — United States, 2010-11 through 2017-18 Influenza Seasons).
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2014-2015.html Flu related deaths in the states can be as low as 15k and as high as 60k (from what I’ve seen). If we take the best case scenario of 15k, lockdowns every winter could potentially save 10s of thousands EVERY year. |

It is you who dispute the 200k model. That or you forgot to post a link to some evidence with suggests the death rate would be much lower by basically not doing much (ill people stay indoors! And those worried to stut away ) Not really much need for experience, knowledge, education- silly government should have ignored Imperial & gone with your gut feeling? |

Once again the health services are geared up to dealing with an increase of ill people in winter. They are not geared up for the prediction of 200k dead and many more needing medical help for a few weeks. The model suggested UK would not be able to cope.we wouldn't have been able to treat people who needed oxygen. |

Are you aware that the virus has absolutely nothing to do me or my views on staying safe. Terry , just follow the simple advice (& law) and apply social distancing. You may save lives (including you own life). What have you got to do which is so important you would need to be mixing with other people. |

People are locked in their homes based on nothing but a Govt.Model.We have destroyed 10"s of millions of jobs and families based on a Govt Model.
Can anyone provide a single example of a Govt Model that was ever even remotely close to be right? |

As opposed to being locked in their homes based on the conspiracy theory of the week ?

There is no talking to people who think an epidemic is comparable to flu.

And even Trump has moved on and accepts that this IS NOT comparable to flu.

You constantly refuse to give a link to your non MSM news stories whenever you post them. If your sources are so good then don't be ashamed of them Are you aware that there is a major difference between "not using ones brain" & "having an open mind"? Don't be evil Terry - provide a link to your lies. |

It was you who wanted children to die of preventable diseases wasn't it. Some lies about vaccines killing people when the evidence suggests they save lives. Post a link to your "stories " if they are reliable. |
