That’s the opposite of what they’re doing. They want low risk groups infected, so that high risk groups won’t be.

They still want the curve flattened, they don’t want indiscriminate infection. But low risk groups need to get it, and need to get it as quickly as the NHS capacity allows.

they dont want indiscriminate infection eh?

Their nuanced strategy will no doubt achieve that.....................

I really hope it doesn't backfire spectacularly for the sake of peoples lives

If it does I hope they are tried and convicted as sociopathic criminals

Does a government not have an obligation to look after every citizen?

Letting the over 50s die...

as a middle aged worker on a high salary, i pay a LOT of tax. as do most middle aged workers; companies have for the most part shoved down salaries for the younger generation for years...

so as a high tax payer, i would not be a happy camper if the government basically allowed my relatives to just die like that...i'd probably become a more disobedient citizen

i think the uk going down this road would lead to some type of anarchy...they dont seem to have factored in people's emotions at all while concentrating on the economy alone.

One of the issues is economic collapse could itself result in a significant collapse in healthcare. Make no mistake, what is being spent now will be paid for in the future, perhaps by higher taxes for our children, or limitations to healthcare provision

I am not suggesting what is happening now should not be, but there remains a fine balance. The Government and others tasked with overseeing this are not in a position to throw "everything possible" at this without a significant cost, possibly still being paid for by future generations

Yes.
I was accused by many posters in earlier threads of having an agenda of economy over healthcare when I suggested the economy could not simply be overlooked.
As you said, reality is, my grandkids will pay for this

Just a wild guess, but I'm thinking you're under 50.

You realise this strategy has a good chance of leading to a higher death rate for those under 50 than Ireland’s, right? And that despite being under 50, I still think it’s a better plan than ours?

“Well son, I was on boards.ie posting memes and gifs”

Better than being a bollix in the pub bringing a deadly virus back to their family as many people will tonight.

The reality is that some of those people and their family will die and some of the people they all pass it on to will die. Sorry to bring reality but that's what will happen in the next few weeks because people went to the pub tonight.

My main concern is the UK.

If they insist on this path of accepting and ploughing on, it could have disasterous consequences for us. I think it might be prudent in a number of weeks to halt flights from the UK or introduce some restrictions.

I think it might be prudent to begin halting flights across the board.

Travel bans to the U.K. will come into effect soon if they continue this social experiment. They’ll be cut off by the rest of the world.

When our grandkids look back and ask "Where were you when the country was on a knife edge and our existence as a society was on the line"

Will the pub goers lie, ashamed that they contributed to the spread of a virus that kills tens of thousands and disables many more that will die a horrible death later in life

The 100 limit is nonsense imo. My gym is huge and might have 25 to 35 people at busy times. Once your sanatising as you go your pretty safe.
The local pub is pretty small so even 60 people would be in each other's skin they are so close.

Where gyms told they had to close or is it their own choice? I'm not clear on that myself.

Their choice, mine is “monitoring the situation” for now.

They could do with having a look at how they fcuked up the last time. History has a habit of repeating itself

If you read my earlier posts I’ve had quiet a few drinks but the obviously makes 2 of us.
You have taken my recommendations as a personal attack and I haven’t in any way meant to cause you offense.
I’m going to try to respond as best I can.
Your 1st paragraph references students, the lowest risk group of all as regards health risk. I have 2 close family members teachers so I know how busy they are all the time.

You have then referenced delaying this thing to preserve ICU beds, which if the most vulnerable isolated like I said would not be required.

You then referenced vulnerable people also being at risk, like I referred to in my post??? I don’t know why I’m bothering

No idea what the next rambling is about

You then say 68 isn’t that old anymore, it’s not, and I never said it was, it is however more at risk from the virus, you need to be offended at the virus here

Reading the rest you have missed my point

Oh I have not missed your point at all, it was quite clear. Try re-reading the post without the drink in you.

I'm also not personally offended, its you that has missed the point imo. I wont attempt to put as much effort into responding the next time.....

It may lead to fewer deaths and less economic damage in the long run. Nobody knows. But it’s not a crazy strategy and it’s backed by senior scientists. Boris didn’t dream it up.

Biggest fear we’ll have to deal with if we manage to flatten the curve here are desperately sick people from the uk flying over here in the hope of treatment. Borris plan is morally bankrupt and I see civilisation breaking down in the uk when this kicks off.

Off you go to Northern Italy and see what it's like. No flights so will get you a ferry, trains etc. One way of course, seeing as you think it's no big deal you probably be be happy to stay there. Can let us know what a paradise we have in store in 2/3 weeks

How many other Western European countries are adopting this strategy?

In 1918 they decided to not take action either. 228,000 people died most of whom could have been saved it action. Most in their 20s. I bet if that was the version we had now you'd have a different view.

Ireland is practically doing the same as the U.K. People are still at work. Absolutely loads filling pubs apparently. Don't know why Ireland gets a gold star from you for doing one small thing and U.K. doesn't because it's a 'social experiment' and not a plan with clear timings and implementation. Also the WHO said today that closing boarders wasn't necessary now.

Also, how would you feel as an elderly British taxpayer being part of the herd that was culled - without any say in the matter, robbed of the pension that you worked your entire life for. Instead of enjoying your golden years, you're left to die at the behest of a Government who thought you weren't worth the investment. Talk about a kick in the balls.

Quite likely at some point but banning the Schengen area as a whole will probably need to come first.
