Quote: trin77 "This is embarrassing, closing the world down and destroying the economy and livelihoods for a virus with a 98% survival rate. Life's got to go on we can't wrap ourselves in cotton wool forever.'"
Before the thread is locked. You do know that the figure of 98% (with 83 years being the average age of the 2%) is read by many, well almost certainly our beloved moderator, as “HELP, We are all going to die”.
But seriously, if wearing a mask, a visor, goggles,gloves, hard hat, factor 50, waterproofs, steel toecaps, gumshield, ear defenders plus flippers and a life jacket (should a gust of wind blow us into the river Calder while perilously walking up Doncaster road) plus Jab Vista, (or are we still on jab DOS 1) then it'll all be worth it, especially if it “saves just one life.”
But beware the carnage on our roads as you travel to Belle Vue, I haven't left the house since I saw the following on the trusted BBC.
“According to the World Health Organization, road traffic injuries caused an estimated 1.35 million deaths worldwide in, for example, 2016."
That is, one person is killed every 25 seconds.
Every 25 seconds by Jove, Surely that's worth a worldwide lockdown in anyone's eyes??? Lets face it, “if it saves just one life.”
