You are just running with this scaremongering mantra.

Hey, do you realise that if infections are running at 500 per hundred thousand, that works out as 5 per thousand? And per hundred, that’s 0.5!

Go figure and start thinking for yourself.
A discredited alternative that nobody, anywhere in the world, continues to pursue. Nor is there any evidence the economy will perform any better as millions of people are shielding and less economically active.

You’re starting to sound like a Covid denier Old Boy.

Nor should they bury their heads in the sand that it doesn’t exist.
