Point is, most of us don't know and yet we've already decided it's terrible. Come on mate, now you are being deliberately obtuse ain’t you? If it’s context we are after, if we had put 32,000 criminals against the wall and shot them the whole world including the scientific community would say “that’s terrible”......but 32,000 random people from a virus may be slightly above average ? Its a terrible death toll or it isn’t...... Maybe I’m getting that all out of wack and you can’t compare execution to a natural event but surely death that wouldn’t normally happen but does happen is terrible anyway you stack it up isn’t it ?

I'm not being obtuse at all. We haven't even established that a single person more than 'average' has died. I'll take Jukels fact at face value that 50'000 have died more than last year. Was last year average or a f***ing diabolical year? I'm sure this pandemic will have increased the death rate, but I don't know for a fact or by how much and neither do you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But as I said previous what we do know is that something is out of the ordinary and surely that means the extra death must be out of the ordinary ? Anyway, I’m not trying to convince you of anything pal, just talking......we will all take a view and see where it all ends up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously though, I genuinely believe that this is a thing and killing more than normal and is serious. Don't lump me in with Neo-whatsit. But I do think there is sensationalist stuff going on. I don't totally agree with the hot wench in the video. Graph inbound... 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In fact my lack of concern has been the cause for quite a bit of introspection! That's fair. I'm just treating it as an elevated threat level. Not so much for me but elderly relatives, friends, neighbours, etc. I'm certainly not paranoid but I'd feel pretty bad if I passed it on. The irony here is that with all the rules regulations and constantly changing situation it's not made a shred of difference to my daily routine. After my 2008 tactical relocation this way of living is pretty normal. Social distancing for me is about 30-40 miles. Slung rifle keeps people well over 10m away. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
