C4 Tonight, What Next After Lockdown?

[MynameisLuca]

Anyone watch this program?
Looks like we could be in Lockdown for months. Petty bleak.

[Spicerack]

I watched it. It was bleak.

[Bobbisox1]

They dare not show positives like who’s survived because people will go out in numbers again and that’s not good

[MynameisLuca]

If restrictions are relaxed there will also another wave, so we'll have to go into Lockdown again.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah they have locked down Moo-ching in China
yeah OK a place in China where there has been a re-outbreak
and they arent sure if it is come-ins or ......
some people are carriers - oh gooly gosh.....

wan-King then but this is a family site

[MynameisLuca]

I can't see many positives, Bobbisox, less Omissions maybe.
I'm a sceptic fan of all this nonsense anyway. Let's just get on with our lives as normal and see what happens.

[TonyV]

^^^^^^
If we follow your advice, consequence will be more people infected and more people dead. Are you really serious?

[bednobs]

what is a sceptic fan? also what omissions are you expecting?

[Mozz71]

Okay. I'm going to address the heffalump in the room: Does the thread author live on the second floor?

[TonyV]

ThI'm not finding it hard as I don't like people too much, I like the Social Distince rule... You?... This is the person who recently opened a thread titled " I like being alone"
with opening line
"I'm not finding it hard as I don't like people too much, I like the Social Distince rule... You?... "
Just attention seeking IMO.

[MynameisLuca]

I'm a bit of a cynic, sorry for the typo, meant Emissions, Bednobs. Less CO2.
Yes TonyV, I'm not finding it hard. What's your point?

[Mozz71]

Tony, I live alone anyway so I'm not finding it tough either. Nothing to do with attention seeking, just stating a fact.

>I'm a sceptic fan of all this nonsense anyway. Let's just get on with our lives as normal and see what happens.

Does that mean let maybe 100000-200000 die in the UK from it this year, including a few hundred doctors and nurses who look after patients? Over a million in Europe? And then let it keep coming back in waves? Cancelling most non-Covid hospital ops/admissions for a year and building dozens of makeshift hospitals and morgues to handle the hundreds of thousands of cases?

[iluvmargie]

No way did I watch it, I'm not into all this doom and gloom. Let's just wait and see, shall we?

[10ClarionSt]

This is the answer.

[douglas9401]

Fiction-factory, it may yet come to that, face it head on and take our chances, once the initial largesse begins to wane.

[Georgiesmum]

I didnt see the programme. What was their main message that made it so "doom and gloom?"

[mushroom25]

// I'm going to address the heffalump in the room: Does the thread author live on the second floor? //

he lives upstairs from you, and you may have seen him before.

[Zacs-Master]

Watch the US figures over the coming couple of weeks, and then say whether lockdown is a bad idea.

[ichkeria]

Lockdown isn’t really a solution.
And it has horrendous side effects.
At some point the government - and other governments - will have to weigh this cost against the cost of the disease itself. That was always the case.

[Zacs-Master]

I agree, it isn’t a long term solution and there may be some very difficult times ahead.
