And so it begins.....
Many are calling this an example of the classic "Trolley Problem".
Save the pensioners and the vulnerable (the so-called 2.5%), but the economy tanks if the "lockdown" continues for too long and the knock-on effects of massive business closures, unemployment, homelessness etc means, ultimately, many more will die.
Or, save the economy. More people remain alive, but we have to allow the 2.5% to die in order to achieve it.Last edited by billybiro; 24 March 2020, 10:57.Comment

This idea that it's "just" pensioners and old people or "just" 2.5% is deeply flawed and plain incorrect. Here's an example near me, already: 'Fit and healthy' 36-year-old UK nurse in intensive care with coronavirus | World news | The Guardian
COVID is coming regardless, and it's going to be devastating if we don't take action. This isn't a binary choice for the economy - there is no "minimal economic disruption option"Comment

Originally posted by billybiro View PostThen why does the UK NOT routinely vaccinate children against this disease whilst other countries do?
As most people have had it they think it will increase the risk of chicken pox and shingles in adults.
There is a shingles vaccination but it is only for those 70+."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
