They are working away and different individuals become infected and start spreading it around between each other, when they shop, when they are out and about. You are not solving anything by allowing people who might not die from the virus to go back to work as per normal. You are actually allowing the virus to spread again. Not a hope in hell of the government risking that.

What source do they quoted for their figures For example Tony states that the age range for all deaths is from 32 to 105. So that means that are young people dying - but that’s not getting reported here - all I read about is the elderly dying

Tell me how wrote: » Do you have any idea how ridiculous this makes you sound? I countered several of your points and so you ask me to stop doing so, even going so far as to send me PM's on it. Do you really think that that is how discussion boards should work? Do you think it should be possible that someone comes in with a batsh*t crazy idea and responds to everyone who calls them out on it by asking them to stop doing so? You are further weakening the poor arguments you are making by showing your inability to engage on here. I don't care if you answer my posts, I post as much for others to see I disagree (or agree, if that were the case) with content someone has posted as I do to get a response from that poster.
