In the midst of a lot of childish crap on this thread, you CM11 have talked a lot of sense.CM11 wrote:This is the thing. There's been a bit of a lie about it only affecting the older people and giving younger people a false sense of security. While it's true that you're much, much more likely to die of it regardless of intervention if you're old/compromised, a lot of younger people are hospitalised with a significant minority in ICU. For any given case, a healthy young person has a very good chance of survival but not if there's no ICU beds left for them. Hence we can't just cocoon the older/compromised and let everyone else get it.Edinburgh01 wrote:I dip in and out of this and confess I have not been analysing every piece of information, so forgive me if this is a dumb question.
And so people understand my perspective, if I get this the chances are I would not survive.
Is the at risk group reasonably well defined? It appears to me that those dying fall fairly clearly into a defined group, with some outliers.
I have no idea if those needing treatment and surviving fall into the same group, or include more robust individuals who recover due to their youth and vigour.
If the at risk group can be clearly defined, why not impose draconian restrictions on us (e.g. take over Haven Holiday camps and similar and put us securely in there) and let the rest of the population get on with life. Everything I hear seems to revolve around 'protect the vulnerable'. So if all this is to protect what I accept is a pretty large group, surely the easiest way to do it is hermetically seal us off from society until a vaccine has been developed.
Good man

Funerals can't be delayed, also tend to be smaller and no need for a reception with people dancing and enclosed together for a whole day and can be postponed. It's a human concession.Winnie wrote:So why will people be non infectious at a funeral but dangerous at a wedding?

Got the text this afternoon. Been isolating since Friday. Major concern that my wife's 12 weeks special leave will be rescinded as work is going to be swamped with claimants. Going to have to move out if that happens.ovalball wrote:I got my official text today from the Health Service - I'm totally locked in for 12 weeks due to taking Immuno suppressants putting me on their 'high risk' list. Doesn't make that much difference because we've been self isolating for a week now anyway.
Anyone else here, on the list?

Re: Funerals.
My sister and her husband will be the only ones attending my late Mother's cremation. The rest of the family and friends will get together after this crisis is over to scatter the ashes. It's not ideal and it's going to feel awful not being there but I think on balance it's the responsible thing to do.
