UK last to lock down, first to ease

Those ads from companies that offered a free signing up gift for the elderly must be kicking themselves.

That's a lot of pens that never see ink.

Lockdown was put in place with barely 50 people having died in total, and even then it was too late. But hey ho let`s lift lockdown with hundreds a day now dying.

Sounds about right for this inept Government.

We are nowhere near first to ease. Bars have opened on some parts of Spain. They were 2 weeks ahead of us, we will open bars at minimum 6 weeks after them.

I didnt say you were the first to ease, I said first to ease this much.

You are supposed to go back to work ffs... result people on the tube like sardines in tins

Which is partly to do, I imagine, with Mayor Khan’s ridiculous restrictions of the train service.

More lockdown lunacy.

For a reason, remember, 32000 dead in 6 weeks.

How many died with Covid 19 and how many died from it?

How many will die from cancelled elective surgeries, from the mental and physical health effects of living indoors for three months, and from the deferred referrals for GP appointments that would formerly have spotted things like tumours or processed key symptoms that needed immediate care?

How many will die from the likely sweeping economic cuts that will be required once Rishi Sunak's magic money tree whithers and dies?

By the way, over 1,500 people died every day in the UK prior to this? Often from preventable causes. I didn't see people going along with the biggest power grab by a government since Oliver Cromwell.

In answer to how many will die in the various scenarios, very few.
The covid19 deaths are in addition to the 'normal' deaths.

Don’t try to understand it. Some people on here simply don’t understand or refuse to acknowledge that the economy’s decline will cause a lot of deaths, a lot more deaths than covid.
