[QUOTE="Highland Mule, post: 7430215, member: 33090"] Don't have desire to get into a protracted debate today, but felt this needed a short response: Given that the same spikes and waves are evident in both northern and southern hemispheres, at roughly the same time (i.e. summer for them, winter for us and v/v), your theory is pretty obviously wrong [U]to me[/U]. The Care Home issue at the start was lamentable, but there have been many, many losses since then too. The issue of co-morbidities and "they would have died anyway" has been overplayed by many too, I feel. Reality is that most of us have some form of underlying condition that would appear on the official record, if we are honest (I can count three for myself, if you have none - well done) - about a quarter of the country has chronic asthma, two thirds are overweight or obese, many million are senior citizens etc. We are allowed to go shopping for essential supplies because we will starve if we don't, but allowing going to other places or meeting friends will increase population mixing and hence the rate of virus transmission and hence NHS demand and ultimately lead to potentially many more deaths if NHS capacity is breached. Not madness but sound disease control practice. I'd do exactly the same if I had a disease running through my herd (and did last month, when I had an outbreak of nasty eye infections in my flock).
