Well said Ozzy!
It's time all the prophets of doom were put back in their cages.
Life must go on. There is risk in all aspects of living, always has been and always will be.
There are clearly two camps in society on this issue: 1) those that know the risks and are capable of managing those risks and deciding what an appropriate level of risk is for their circumstances and 2) those that have been paralyzed by fear by a lame media who have not held the government to account (how about 'show us the science that led the UK to - almost uniquely - choose to impose a 2m rule'). If these people want to lock themselves away with their face masks and wipes, fine, that's their choice but to expect everyone else to do so is pure selfishness.
The way governments have reacted to all of this will cause more deaths in the long term than direct virus deaths. 10s of millions of people around the world will be plunged back in to poverty, many of them in to destitution. It's time to get economic activity back in the cross hairs.
Fear and the resultant uncertainty are the real enemies now.
