    Is anyone forcing you to read this thread? Also people are right to question the so called experts while they are making life and society changing decisions.

    As someone who is expecting to get some very unpleasant news regarding the future of my job within the next 2 weeks, having worked in various forms since i was 14, i can safely say that i,ve had enough and that i increasingly suspect that we waaaay overcooked these restrictions.

    Sorry to hear about your job worries and hope it doesn't pan out that way.

    But its very easy at this juncture to claim we way overdid it.
    The death toll was controlled (relatively speaking) due the very restrictions a lot of people are knocking.
    The alternative Italian-type situation where the virus could "run wild" in the early weeks, could have been disastrous.

    I sympathise with your predicament.

    As someone who was made redundant in our last big recession (actually in the same week that the IMF landed in this country), I also know from experience the most depressing unemployment scenario can be turned around in time with perseverance and proper government job strategies.

    Jobs can be replaced. Sadly human life cannot.

    yep i understand all that. it's no more than an impression I have and we cannot know what might have been but we can leave that to the historians of the future. time will tell if the medicine was worse than the disease.

    So we should just ignore the effects the lockdown is having on everyday working people? These expert's are not god's they can and do make mistakes.

    Will you give me an apology in a years time when the data eventually comes back to confirm my suspicion that the model the government uses is wrong and overstated the death rate of this virus?

    Anyway enjoy the upcoming recession and all the cutbacks to health and other public services.

    It's a shi77er, expect to be down 30% in income this year and probably next or more, will survive but we'll have several austere and hard years ahead.

    Sick of it but not going to make it worse for short term nice.

    I'm sorry to read of your news about your work.

    This virus is going to mess with all of our lives, it's not just your job.

    The lockdown was not overcooked. The lockdown was to slow the spread of the virus, so the health service doesn't collapse and for the medical and science professionals to catch up with this virus. It's a novel coronavirus. This is our generation of polio or whatever other disease you would like to pick out from the past. Also no one knows the long term implications of this virus will be on people. Like will survivors be looking at organ transplants in 5/10 years time. This disease has to be slowed down.

    So far, the medical and science professionals have learned that this virus will effect older people and people with underlying conditions. If the virus was allowed to go rampant through society, already this would be a lot of people wiped out. Perhaps seeing entire families wiped out. Or young children being left parentless. How do we deal with something like that?To see death from different circles - family, friends, colleagues, neighbours?

    We also see the medical and science professionals trailing drugs for the treatment of this disease. We also see the professionals working on vaccines.

    The lockdown bought us time for so much:
    To minimise as much people from catching the virus
    For the science and medical professionals to catch up with the novel virus.

    The OP is probably at bursting point like a lot of us. Hopefully the extra 3k is a help.

    It's tough but worth it in the end.

    Well only know in 5 or 6 years after France announced today they have had cases since December what the real death rate is whether is 0.37 percent like a recent German study or lower or higher so for now its best to just grin and bear it.

    Staying in for a bit more is a better option then letting this virus rip and our crap health service fall apart

    Sorry for your loss and all that, but I for one, don't think your unique perspective is decisive in any of this.

    Actually, I think what you're doing here is bad form.

    I wouldn't be posting here at all this evening if I'd
    just lost a second precious member of my family to Covid-19 this morning.

    But sure, we're all different I suppose.

    Wouldn't say I'm enjoying it but yeah I've definitely become a lot more relaxed of recent and am sleeping like a log. I've never felt more relaxed actually.

    Actually no I am enjoying it 😁

    We could have directed all our attention and resources towards both cocon ing the elderly and providing them with the necessary health response

    I enjoy not going to the shop as often
    Planning our meals for the week.
    Cooking new recipes and baking

    Not actually watching much t.v.
    Reading a lot in evenings
    Plenty of jobs in the garden and painting house etc
