If it’s voluntary pay 30,000 people a nice sum of money each and let them on there way would be cheaper, quicker and a lot less painful.

And the German government saying 89% of the over 80s survive... taking into consideration this will be lower for 80 year olds in nursing homes and higher for 80 year olds who are less fragile and living at home. And surely more people under 70 then should be dying. Does anybody have stats on how many under 70 fall into high risk catagorys? Something not adding up in my brain, but I am sure somebody here can try and explain it to me. Maybe 25% of our population is over 70? But then 89%+ are meant ro survive.. How I hate maths. Or our we just the unhealthist nation in europe?

He said by February there will be at least 3 -4 different vaccines available to genereal population and by summer cant see thier being any need for restrictions.
