Re: Coronavirus
You talk such nonsense, jfman. No-one wants to see unnecessary deaths. However, the decisions made have always been a balance between the health of the nation and the economy. As a self proclaimed ‘economist’ it is surprising that your comments seem to indicate so strongly that the economy doesn’t matter.

Well, it does. Without it, we would have no public services, including the NHS. And we would all be thrown into poverty.

The fixation with the number of positive tests is one you do not balance with the number of people becoming ill enough to be admitted to hospital. As we have now vaccinated all the vulnerable groups, we have effectively avoided the peaks we have suffered to date.

As the vaccination programme continues, we will be avoiding problems with mutations taking their toll of the younger groups. We are already vaccinating the over-30s.
