Aberdeen Lockdown

Just watched bbc and a program about it and it’s consequences.
Some horror stories there. No two cases seem to be the same and all with different outcomes.
Absolutely scary stuff.

 

Yeah as long as it's safe to take and stops anyone from dying from it or having permanent health issues then that would be enough.

 

It's too late when the admissions and deaths start. You should know the time lag by now.

 

What did you tell the thousands of people who died of avoidable flu last year? Had we locked the country down they'd still be alive

 

But it's a very reasonable leap to make. If the job can be done at home does that home need to be on British soil? I'd say it doesn't.

 

True but you could say that about any viral infection. This one is a nasty FOOKER (nudgeresque style)

 

As I've asked many times. What is the number of bodies people are willing to put in the ground before they're prepared to lock themselves in their homes? Almost 30,000 from an airborne and contagious viral infection in 2018 wasn't enough for them to care at all.
How many will it take in future winters for people who are so strongly in favour of an indefinite lockdown to lock themselves in their homes?

 

Public Health England estimates that on average 17,000 people have died from the flu in England annually between 2014/15 and 2018/19. However, the yearly deaths vary widely from a high of 28,330 in 2014/15 to a low of 1,692 in 2018/19.

 

Imagine running a business that has been closed since mid March & may not open till May next year. You'd be really ******.

 

My mistake I wrote 2018 instead of 2015. I didn't see millions locking themselves in their homes that year though did you?

 

Be a digital nomad while we wait for these new innovative jobs to appear.

 

Bloodbath about to get worse....

come back when you have sat by a relatives bedside for a week watching them struggle to breath from respiratory failure and then hold their hand as they struggle on to their last breath and see if you are so cocky with the rhetoric

 

Why don't you care about the people who will die because of a lockdown? This will be many, many more than those who could possibly die of Covid-19. I'm not getting on at you, I simply don't understand why you are happy for many, many more people to die of other ailments than would die of Covid-19. Can you explain that way of thinking to me because I simply don't understand it. I cannot see any logic in it at all.

 

Last I read was in June and at that point Cancer referrals were down 60% on the year before.

 

we were discussing Aberdeen though and how it could improve the position for cancer patients etc by clamping down

 

No cancer in Aberdeen, obviously. They're immune. Particularly with the background radiation from the granite.

 

Well if a national lockdown leads to a huge drop in referrals on a national scale then it would be logical to assume a local one would have a similar influence at a local level.

 

I'm trying. I do actually have a job, that I'm not allowed to do, with several hundred bookings, mostly now shunted into next year. Unfortunately I do have to eat a couple of times a week. I've lost nearly 20kg since lockdown, at some point this amount of weight loss could be a problem.

 

It isn't cocky with a rhetoric. I struggled MYSELF with severe flu which saw me hospitalised for weeks as a child. Nobody gave a shiny **** about the thousands who die from flu, it was just considered something that happens. It's hypocritical

Obviously I have every sympathy with you and with everyone who has had a family member, friend or simply just an acquaintance suffer or pass away recently but that goes for whether they died of covid-19, cancer, flu or any other terrible disease or infection. I don't draw a distinction that says this death was acceptable, this one wasn't.
