[Margaret Pilkington]

Exile, you and I both know that whatever figures are bandied about, by whatever media source or government bodies even, are pure unadulterated speculation.
Because.....NO-ONE KNOWS THE TRUE SIZE OF THE PROBLEM.

It is impossible to know because general testing of the population has not and is not being done.
All of it is conjecture.

When all this started and we have been in lockdown 4weeks all but a day, certain measures should have been taken:
Weekly testing of NHS staff.
Testing of all the population who are employed.
Anyone testing positive should have been removed to a safe isolation unit for 21 days.
Anyone showing active symptoms and needing hospital care should have been hospitalised in an isolation hospital (definitely NOT a district general hospital....the air conditioning units to the wards are linked and this being air-borne is a fine way to disseminate the infection).

The advice for those who have compromising health conditions to stay at home is sensible enough, but there has to be an organised way of getting supplies to them.

I could go on with what, to me are sensible measures and precautions, but there maybe some on here who do not take to my ideas very well....and that is ok....I can live with it.

There is far more to this situation than meets the eye.
This has been a social experiment to see how compliant the general public are to being manipulated....so far it has worked.

However controversial these ideas are, you cannot argue with the fact that we have been lied to on an industrial scale.
And that in the end we are going to be picking up the economic pieces for decades to come...except I am at the bum end of my life....so it will be my descendants who are disadvantaged.
