If you kill everyone this year, next year the death rate will be 0. Doesn't stop it being the virus that is killing people now. And the life expectancy of an 82 year old isn't 81.

Moderators Casino Posted October 31, 2020 Moderators Share Posted October 31, 2020 I'm not sure what you're saying We are a non essential business So, presumably we will be allowed to continue She said all non essential business when it clearly said non essential shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't stop it being the virus that is killing people now. And the life expectancy of an 82 year old isn't 81. I’d disagree with your first point, if 500k died who were In their 20’s then the annual death toll over the next 5 years would be broadly in line with the normal average. 500k deaths from the very old and vulnerable would see a sharp decrease in the average over the following years The people who are dying from Covid are on average 82, on average they can expect to live 9 more years (the average life expectancy for the whole of the U.K. is 81, clearly it’s not for an 82 year old) So broadly speaking, by the time we get to 1930 most of the lives saved will be dead anyway. I bet we won’t have even touched the surface of all this debt by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 By and large as a nation we're happy to doff the cap and toe the line with anything and everything thrown at us but I have a bad feeling there's a growing number of people who think this is a load of shit and sooner or later it will become unenforceable. The police couldn't cope with even a town deciding it had had enough and even if they could the court system couldn't cope with a town deciding not to pay fines. There are something like 6 million folk aged between 16-24 in the country and even if 5% of them said fuck off what could anyone do? Not saying I agree with that attitude but I think there might be a real risk it takes hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
