I like your vision- but it is not our sad future
So Covid deaths are all that matter, and other deaths aren't in the equation? that's some strange logic arista. Thankfully the people making the decisions are likely to understand the real risks, and not take this "it doesn't matter how many die so long as fewer die of Covid" approach.

The US should be "expected" to be 5x Italy/UK because they have 5x the population (not 10x Smithy ) but in part its like comparing apples to oranges... Some of the big, open states will be able to handle it much better because of "natural" social distancing (small population per square mile) whereas if you just take New York City as an example separate to the whole US, the figures are especially harsh. Nearly 6000 deaths in a population of 8 million. Although its a similar situation in London.
Sorry, idk why I said ten

On the contrary arista... I believe it might be that you, personally, are more worried about getting Covid than you are about these other considerations and so it's you who is engaging in some "wishful thinking" that we'll all just stay locked away for a year.

No of course
other deaths matter.
But sadly Covid 19 spreads so fast
it matters more.


Yes Fewer Deaths from Covid 19
are everyone's aim.

It has Literally Pushed Cancer Patients to Die

Thank You James

[Why can't we just lift lockdown?
We cannot simply return to normal after cases peak or even after they are reduced to very low levels.
The best estimate of the proportion of people infected (and potentially immune) in the UK is just 4%. Or to put that another way - more than 63 million are still vulnerable to the infection.
If we just lift the lockdown, then another explosive outbreak is inevitable. ]

Yes but it's not about suddenly lifting all restrictions. Social distancing will continue for a long time, large gatherings will be banned for a long time, supermarket restrictions (queueing, one way systems) will continue for a long time... Etc.

However some of the other big things - like non-emergency medical functions - will have to be recommenced long before a year. I'd also be very surprised if they keep schools completely closed for a year. Though they might do something like 3-day weeks, staggered classes for reduced class size, etc.

Yes Schools Shut for a year
is hard times.
But kids will learn Covid 19
spreads so fast. And there is no other way.

Yeah they'll be restrictions & rules in place for a long time.

They can't keep full lockdown for a year . I guess we'll see what happens.

It can change, there is a possibility of tracking healthy people and making those infecting stay in

The harsh reality is that a safe vaccine might not be possible - ever - not all viruses are vaccine preventable. If that's the case, things eventually will have to change.

But this isn't a discussion arista, it's just you stonewalling stating things as facts that are not facts at all. It's a bit of a waste of time I'm afraid.

Just reading this article...
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-a9459711.html

This can't be a one off, is it the police trying to give an indication of just how many are passing without ever being seen by a medical professional?
