Don't be so fucking stupid. Vulnerable people can easily isolate just as they're having to now. There is absolutely no difference in their situation. On the other hand, it's been known for weeks that thousands are going to die from not having other serious illnesses such as cancer attended to...

The reality is that for healthy people under 50 with no underlying health issues - or not obese, the chances of dying from it are incredibly slim For age group 20-29 about 2 million/1 For age group 30-39 about 500,000/1 For age group 40-49 about 200,000/1 There's no real need for anyone in...

Then say goodbye to your days of watching football live. The fatality rate will end up being between 0.2-0.4%. The median age of the deceased in most countries is around 80 and 9/10 of those have other conditions. You can believe or disbelieve any figures presented, but people need to make...

I doubt there's much, if any, risk of walking the moors, jogging, or sitting on a park bench, or any other similar activities the police seem so keen to punish There is some risk of being in a stadium. But for most people the risk is low and really no greater than any other infection. I...
