[QUOTE="SilliamWhale, post: 7430239, member: 1232"] In NW Europe the viral curve has followed pretty much the same pattern once the virus became endemic. Lockdown or not. We had the first boost of the novel virus culminating last spring and then it just doing what it does seasonally. Same for lots of countries - first "invasion" causes a spike and then it will settle into its seasonal pattern for whatever region that is like. Look at the viral curves around the world. Lockdown is something we learnt from China, we have never done it before so I'm not sure we can be so confident it is sound disease control practice. I don't think I said "they would have died anyway" as it were because that almost implies I don't care. I'm saying that a large number of these deaths took place when someone was also seriously ill from other causes. I'm sorry but anyone dying in a care home since the obvious first wave cock up is going to have a collection of co-morbidities leaving them vulnerable, the same with everyone over 80 - which is still lower than the average age of covid death. There will be lots of Captain Tom type deaths. Honestly - is it really a tragedy that someone raddled with dementia in a care home dies of Covid? I don't think so. It is a serious disease, but I think when it all settles down we will almost certainly conclude that lockdowns 2 and 3 were an overreaction. Lockdown 1 probably was to but we knew so much less then. And we still haven't looked at the collateral damage yet - poor people will become poorer, unemployment higher etc. Its a big hole to dig out of. [/QUOTE]
