Matchday testing and tracing

And look at what the "pre-exisiting conditions" were that people who died of COVID in April had.

For men under 70.

11% had heart disease
13% had flu
10% had COPD
7% had diabetes.

All of those are manageable. None of those are expected to put you at death's door. But we still keep hearing people repeating this bone-idle "pre-exisiting conditions" line as though COVID somehow only takes the ones who the Grim Reaper is already hunting down.

And people talk as though these people - actual human lives - as though they're expendable anyway.

We need to accept that people do die. We cannot sacrifice the future of the nation for a few excess deaths. It's not like we are underpopulated is it? People are born , they live and then they die. Some are given more time than others. It is the will of God and there's nothing you can do about it.

Jesus, but there are things we can do, that's the whole point!

Is wearing a mask so incredibly difficult?

Edit: And thinking about this then, are you suggesting that we shouldn't utilise modern medicine for the same reason? Heart transplants, heart by-pass surgery? Or are you just suggesting we shouldn't do anything that might have an impact on the financial health of the nation?

Is destroying the economy for decades a price worth paying? I read the average covid death age is 82. I understand this is obviously very sad for those involved, however what about the other end of the spectrum who are having there lives, businesses etc destroyed which the actions of the government. People need to get back to normality now. It must make better sense to do that and just pay what we are wasting on furlough to keep the vulnerable out of the way for the time being.
