Re: Is it Coronaphobia...or lazyitis.

Cashy, the real way out of this is testing....testing to see who has had the virus(even though immunity cannot be presumed)....testing to see who is free of the virus....and can be allowed to return to work.

Would you take a vaccine that had been hurriedly put together, whose side effects were unknown, whose effectiveness was not quantified??
Viruses mutate...so there is no guarantee that a vaccine produced now would protect in the future....or how long immunity would last.

We are being bamboozled into thinking that this virus kills everybody...it doesn't.

We cannot live life without risk....if everything were opened up tomorrow I would be out and about like a shot....the best way to deal with this situation is to be exposed and develop our own immunity.
There has been some recent research that says that people who have had colds seem to have an immunity to the virus......also The Centre for Disease Control has said that the virus does not last on hard surfaces....that it is mainly spread by droplets.

This inertia has to be removed.....and the way to do that is to remove government support.

What these folk don't realise is that once the lockdown is lifted there may not be jobs to go back to.
Shearing the travel firm has just folded.....that means than many hotels and businesses supplying the hotels that these coaches visited will lose their business too.

If it were me I would be more than happy to go back to work.
