Of course, that may not occur, either because of effective measures to suppress the virus, or because there are too many unknowns about how it will 'behave' in the winter. But given the unknowns and associated risks, ongoing restrictions are reasonable measures.
    One would have though living through April/May would be enough, whole country more or less shutdown, how could Mor Ons miss what’s going on?

    This deadly virus of stupidity must be eliminated also

      6 months of blanket news on the topic and he cant even offer basic risk probabilities..
      I’ve given my calculation breakdown above (for my range of 20-30%, of which you pick top level) what’s your %-tage figure then - 19%?

        Obviously hospital admission mortality is different depending on age and other factors

          Such as whether you’re a cretin domiciled in Monaco for tax purposes?

              Plenty of large, densely populated countries have got through this without nationalising the workforce for 6 months.

              The furlough should have been for a few weeks until we got our tulip together. A soon as we knew the hospitals could handle volume ( we knew that in May ) everyone should have been back to work.

              I've seen many business lines that reply upon a number of participants not being able to start up again as someone has cash flow issues and just cant go back to 100%. So everyone is screwed.

              Anyway, I'm off to the pub to do my bit.

                    Yes the NHS could clearly cope. How many excess deaths have we had compared to other countries?

                      Evidently not enough to get ministroke to buy into theory that Covid isn’t just a flu

                      I guess when the flu season starts he’d be insisting that people who had covid and flu at the same time not counted as dead from Covid
