It's a fact. The elderly and those with underlying health problems are much more at risk.

I agree with you on that but every Tom dick & Harry spreading it is the problem. It might not effect you or even show itself in you but you can still pass it on without knowing

But that's not what you said. You said it's not a concern unless you are old with underlying conditions. Which is nonsense

Way I see it we don't have many options.
1. Vaccine or cure. Might be waiting for something they never develop.
2. Lockdown again. Destroy the economy further and once you open up you go back to square one with infection rises.
3. Local lockdowns. Won't work without track, trace and enough testing.
4. Protect the vulnerable and let the rest get on with life. Over time build up a certain amount of natural immunity.
I'm going for number 4.

I totally agree with Bullseye, this is not going to disappear, it's exactly the same sort of virus as flu and any measures taken are only delay tactics. Too much media hype and dick waving by officials I'm afraid to say. Protect the vulnerable as best we can and crack on.
We are just delaying the inevitable, let it take its course so we can return to some sort of normality.

I don't disagree, but his original comment of only the elderly need to be concerned is what I have issue with. It's utter nonsense

They vaccinate for flu but people still die .
So what's the point waiting for one for COVID .
Don't think I will bother as I think it's a load of old toffee

Totally agree with Bullseye the whole Covid thing is nonsense its a Flu type infection and there has been a lot of deaths blamed on it which it didn't contribute too and that is a fact, there is no cure for it at present, same as other flu's Lock down will do nothing apart from ruin the economy even more!! its here to stay and life must keep going on.

Apart from agreeing with you that we should try and protect the economy, maybe more consideration should be given to making sure we have enough people around to drive the economy forward. I am glad you are not our Health Minister. You portray a very poor attitude, sorry m8! Covid might kill the same number of people as flu but now we have 2 viruses that we have no treatment for which means twice as many people will die this Winter. The statistics show that more people on average this year have died than previous years and the worst figures likely to continue throughout the Winter, glad you are not worried, I think the majority of us are!!!!

I think the majority are not worried, and what is the point in putting the country into lock down for when we come back out of it we will be back to square one! everyone I speak to are at the point its here to stay and we should just get on with it more people die of other daily diseases do we go into Lock down for them?? NO, you can protect the old and vulnerable to the best of our ability but the rest should just carry on as normal too many snowflakes in the country in my opinion ;-)

I think you are right, the majority are not worried and if you kill off all the older people that would be great for the younger peoples pensions later on, sadly those of us over the retirement age are worried. I also think you are wrong by the way! No solution to any of this at the moment until Trump discloses a new vaccine the week before the US elections, watch this space!

Do you really??? I run my own business, and we have borrowed a substantial amount of money to keep it a float a second lock down would probably close us resulting in redundancies maybe losing my house so people really need to get real and look at the bigger picture we have a virus that has no cure, cases are rising but nowhere near the deaths at the start of the Covid, we are doing everything we can to protect ourselves but another lock down would be madness as it will spell the end for a hell of a lot of firms who barely survived the first wave!!

That's right mate, your wallet is more important than people's lives.... And the cases are rising and will continue to do so, and at a faster rate than before.
