UK Covid death toll

[Protheroe]

There are 2 (Two [no need to shout]) people admitted, seriously injured,  to Birmingham hospitals per day due to RTAs. Not forgetting the 30 killed in Brum in a year. Would you suggest we do away with all Road Traffic laws where the accidents occur less?

That's about the most fatuous comparison yet.

I've argued for nothing but optimal protection measures throughout this who debacle. Those at risk of serious illness ought to take greater precautions. The healthy working age population ought to go about their business as usual, and kids should never have been stopped from going to school.

The oppotunity cost of the prevailing policy is far too high in economic, social, educational and (increasingly) in health terms. Having lost both my parents to late-diagnosed cancer - just wait until the shit starts hitting the fan on that one.
