I'm not going into it blind, just like I wasn't working blind when the virus hit and I declined the offer of going home on full pay before the lockdown began. As for saying it's not going to happen - it certainly will for some companies. Mine already have many outlets opened and doing business again. Likewise, several friends have now returned to work, where there is no work from home option.

Overpriced entry for overpriced lousy drink. .They'll be the very last to reopen. He meant the Coppers culture across the globe. Random shifting of strangers. It won't be law, it's just we'll be too nervous at least until an anti-viral / vaccine arrives. A lot of social distancing we'll enforce upon ourselves. No priests with metre sticks patrolling the floor. In the meantime, Coppers and most clubs across the nation will find a way to reopen - just with different environments. They're creative people. We were here before with AIDS in the 80s.

Official figures from the 28th detailed 20,085 total cases todate. Of that 20,085 - 8262 under 44 years of age were diagnosed with Covid-19 - of which 5.8 % (479) ended up in hospital.. Of that 20,085 11,823 were over 44 years of age - of which 18.8% ended up in Hospital These were the serious cases. What that does not show were those under 44 who were not hospitalised or tested but who still got sick. And reading the accounts of posters on this thread and elsewhere who have detailed their experiences - the illness is no joke. And that goes for those under and over the age of 44 Perhaps more importantly anyone of any age can become infected and pass the disease on to older people or those with medical conditions such as Asthma etc - and yes that goes for those under 44 as well who may have those conditions. The other thing you are forgetting is that there is increasing evidence of damage to the lungs and other organs caused by Covid-19 even in some of those who appeared asymptomatic. Medical professionals are currently in the process of collecting data to determine whether this damage may be long term. Oh and one last thing - the number coming down with Covid-19 has not stopped. With your plan many many more people both under and over 44 will get it and yes even end up in hospital. Will you be satisfied then?

Know someone myself who was in his 70s, and never saw the ICU at all before he died. Alot more people under 40 will pass away i'd imagine if things open up and the ICU's are overrun again following a second wave. They left the elderly to die in nursing homes aswell, some who had many years ahead of them but were not seen as worthy of ICU admission.
