[QUOTE="Cowgirl, post: 7016513, member: 3213"] The problem is not so much the deaths, sad though they are, but the number of patients, many young and previously healthy, who after contracting COVID are condemned to a long period of, or possibly lifelong, disability and hospital care. This virus has been treated like flu but it is not flu - it causes vasculitis, heart attacks, strokes and lung fibrosis (scarring). These changes can be permanent. The mistakes that have been made have been due to underestimating these effects - I know that I do not want to catch this disease. I have a heart problem and it will almost certainly kill me. My husband is diabetic and my mother is 91. Are we to stay in hiding for the rest of our lives? Scotland is close to elimination- we must do it if we are to have any hope of a normal life and I believe we can. I believe England can too - it just takes political will, which appears to be lacking in England. People are too defeatist. I also hate to see the term “herd immunity” used wrongly. It is meant to mean protection of the vulnerable by vaccinating the population. It does not mean letting a deadly virus exist permanently in the population persisting at a low level - that is “endemic disease”. [/QUOTE]
