No, neither particularly fit and in my mid 50s, but I cycle for pleasure so that is a risky thing to do on the roads. I like a drink another risky thing for my health, I even have the occasional smoke very risky for my health...I am a service engineer and drive about 30,000 + miles a year in my...

Every time I drive I keep aware that there maybe a drunk driver/ boy racer just about to smash into me....I do know the risk of driving, I just try to be aware. Likewise I know the risk ( very small) of me dying of a virus, I just keep awear. We cant spend the rest of our lives wrapped in...

Goes hand in hand does it not ?

I think that the fact I can go to work a 15 mile drive (engineering) lots of touching metal, lifting heavy stuff there is no chance of SD and have been all but ordered by Boris to go. But the fact I cant drive to see my Mum, who is house bound and living with my sister who works in the NHS makes...

I agree but would raise the age to 65, look at the stats for under 65s who are fit (ish) and working. Its in line with severe seasonal flu numbers so I read somewhere ?

I have also noticed even during the 1st 3 week lockdown when most were taking it really seriously, the only ones popping to the shops 3 times a day were the older generation. I asked my 87 year old mum what she thought of the lockdown and TBF she had a point, stuff and nonsense was the...

If your in good health you should be OK, but might pass it to a loved one. As Britain edges back to work and employees consider the risks of moving beyond lockdown, official figures underscore that working-age Britons are 34 times less likely to die of coronavirus than over-65s. About 12% of...

I like a drink I like the odd smoke and drive 40 to 50,000 miles a year for my job, covid 19 is way way down on my fears of dying TBH. And the virus is here so we have to live with it, we can’t hide away for ever.

As I said, I have done no research...and doesn't every report cherry pick to suit their agenda ? I dont think it was anti vac, just dont rush one out without proper testing.

Its this bit that makes me sad...In most Western countries, 50 to 70% of all extra deaths occurred in nursing homes, which do not benefit from a general lockdown. Moreover, in many cases it is not clear whether these people really died from Covid19 or from extreme stress, fear and loneliness. A...

As in the words of Stewart Lee..I have done no research into who these people are, But this has made me feel a bit better and a bit cross at the same time. Facts about Covid-19 Updated: May 6, 2020; Languages: CZ, DE, EN, ES, FI, FR, GR, HBS, HE, HU, IT, JP, KO, NL, NO, PL, PT, RO, RU, SE...

No more than anyone else who is in their 70s, The virus tends to be more deadly if you have underlying conditions, I don't know whether Roy has, but one would assume he is on the fit side for a 70 year old.

Well Outdoor workers and gardeners have been able to work all the time and so have factories and offices that can maintain social distancing, so we all ready do some of part one and part 2.

Where do you get this graph from ?

I touched on it earlier...But see below. Between December 2014 and March 2015 there were 44,000 excess winter deaths, 2.5 times higher than the record low of the previous winter, and the highest number since the winter of 1999/2000 when flu levels were very high. Daily deaths peaked on 1...

Well these two flu outbreaks that were not that long ago and we just carried on as normal, yes the figures are less but were they counting care homes hospices and all deaths ? And looking back into the 50s and 60s they were pretty bad then. Hong kong flu in 1968 claimed between 25 and 50 million...

Then whats the point of all this then ? so we can live our lives never seeing are own families never going to meet friends a life scurrying up the shop to buy necessities before locking the front door to live in isolation or with just partners kids...for that is a life not worth living IMHO.

Thank you, that has truly made my day x
