We are continually increasing testing so it’s difficult to compare against previous figures. It’s also difficult to compare against other countries with fewer tests. If Spain were testing as many as the UK, their figures would look much worse.

Aye.

I think some of these current actions that seem a bit extreme may well be as a result of what is being learned from other nations (not stuff necessarily in the public eye).

A lot to come out I reckon at the end of all this, from all over the world.

It's been clear from very early; keep the populations apart.

But, we did a full lockdown, which people, some more than others, were happy to go along with.

We didn't really do a full lock down. Also, if you keep the populations apart who cares for the elderly, fit or otherwise?

“Other health issues “ is a easy get out for people who want to down play this, whether through ignorance or the wish to reassure themselves.

other health issues doesn’t mean you were on deaths door, though there will be some who were and these cases will be highlighted as “ proof” by people and that leads to complacency as mentioned. 

My uncle was technically classed as “other health issues” also  but didn’t have anything life threatening or unmanageable that would have lead to his death , this got hold of his bronchial tubes and lungs  and suffocated him leading to organ failure , none of which were connected to his existing “health issue”

Very true, it seems to affect some people much much worse than others and that is a key requirement to figuring and treating the fucker.

However, those already battling some other condition do seem to be more prone to a particularly bad outcome.

That’s the thing though , it’s understandable that If you are “ battling” a condition you’d be hard pressed to fight this off as well, but simply having a condition that doesn’t need regular medications or treatment  isn’t necessarily the same, IMO anyway , but who knows , maybe I’m wrong and the body can’t deal with this and anything else , whether  connected  or seemingly unconnected , so even though the first would never kill you or bother you for years on end this will  If your body has to deal with both it and bad dose .

that's possible I suppose but “existing condition“ is a broad spectrum

Based on what we now know and the need to get the economy moving, would there be widespread support for locking down 'pre existing conditions' and oldies
