Given the demographics I think lockdown was a bad idea, and shutting down the NHS worse. We now have over 40,000 people waiting for tests for breast cancer alone.Comment

Shutting the NHS was to avoid pictures like those shown in Italy. It wasn't to save lives otherwise they would have admitted younger people with serious Covid symptoms before they started doing so after BJ got seriously ill."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

They have also shut down private hospitals due to the way that it has been financed, ensuring that the NHS will not 'catch up' on elective surgery for about 3 years.
These are real people, some with excruciating pain, that have now been waiting for 4 months for their surgery.
I personally would not want to be one of the 10,000 or so Cancer patients that have been diagnosed but are still awaiting treatment.
I still don't believe the figures that the modelling team came up with prior to lock down and given the teams history with over estimating CJD by 2 orders of magnitude I think I'm justified.Comment
