In relation to COVID article states
doesn’t read as idle speculation to me.

It’s speculation to assume that we are far down the road to “herd immunity” on the basis of this, in particular why the UK would benefit from it but not however Spain, Italy, France or other countries embarking on their second wave.
Wishful thinking in my book.

If you really believe in this nonsense view, jfman, it is pointless continuing this debate with you.

I read that an alternative opinion was expressed, not that he was discredited. The fact is that despite coming from 'experts' it is all speculation at this point. It's a new virus, so what else can it be?

It’s wild speculation. And nobody, anywhere, has suggested locking everyone down forever. Misrepresenting my posts is second only to your skill in not evidencing your own.
I do agree however that there’s little value in continuing a debate with you on the topic if you persist in following wishful thinking above science. The virus doesn’t care for your politics, your stiff upper lip or English exceptionalism. We’re playing by the same rules as everyone else - all that’s happening is some are skewing the narrative, undermining science, people are less adherent to rules and this situation goes on for longer - hitting health and the economy. I don’t mind one of those being hit because it’s in dire need of rebalancing anyway, and the virus presents a once in as generation opportunity - but I do care about the health angle.
