Re inOban,
If you listen/read every news artical or expert knowledge even from those who are the very best in their background of research and medical. theirs just
so much difference of opinion, I've seen reports that a second wave will be more deadly why ? this has not happened and never happened previously with this virus so who knows just one opinion, reports seen that this will last for 12-18 months, other reports seen say this could be with us permanently and will be just another virus that will cause people to die just like Cancer, and other well known diseases that have been around for many many years.
If we carry on the way we are just for 12 months it's not just the Airlines that will go under, Tourists will not happen, hotels will go bust , bars/restraunts will go bust, cinemas/gym's/sport, shops will close down for good the list is endless this just isn't about getting on a plane and going to another country the way we are living at the moment can not keep going on this way.
People are not going to hospital now for cancer treatment, and various other treatments and this is causing illness and even more deaths because the government and press has put the fear factor into everyone, people who suffer from depression (my best mate is suffering really bad at the moment worst he's been since he started with depression 2 years ago) will lead to higher levels of suicide, domestic abuse has increased since lockdown, again putting more pressure on families, schools closed for most until at least September and they are even disagreeing now on the few that could go back in a couple of weeks time, hows it going to affect the young if there's no school for at least a year we will have the next generation growing up without education you need to look at the longer/bigger picture. more and more people everyday are loosing their jobs there will be no work for anyone except emergency service and food industry, people are not going out to buy new car or furniture for the house theirs more industries will close the list is never ending.
Oh and remember our government said if we all got immune to the virus, well let the healthy/young get immune thousand will get the disease and not even realise they've had it.
Seen report that if your from a poor background your more likely to die from the virus than if you were from a wealthy background, utterly rubbish why have African countries, central America,, Brazil etc got far less casualties than any western European country, How is all of Eastern Europe got fewer cases/deaths than just the UK? When we sent large numbers back home at the beginning of lockdown Blacks/Asians/Mixed race more at risk again utterly rubbish cases in Pakistan/India are much much lower than Europe and living conditions are much much poorer
Yes there's going to be more deaths with covid-19 but how many deaths could be saved with other illnesses if we got back to or near to normal life, nobody knows the figure ask the 10 people at the top of the field in research and you'll get 10 different answers it's just their opinion
It's widely reported and confirmed those at risk are the old and people with health issues, protect these people let the others return to normality , yes you will get the isolated case where a young person sadly passes away who was healthy and no medical problems prior, and you will also get the elderly that will survive I remember on news a 106 year old caught the virus and beat the virus,
