Yeah we’re developing quite a high secondary death toll here. I suspect it’s going to be a lot higher over time than immediate coronavirus deaths particularly as cancer care is canned for a lot of people so good outcomes turn to bad. They’ll be swept under the carpet while the politicians are labelling themselves as heroes.

I can't quite grasp what your position is on this. Is it:


* There is no pandemic, or it's just like flu.
* There is a pandemic and it's serious, but the lockdowns, etc, aren't needed.
* There is a pandemic, it's serious and needs lockdowns, but the economy must come first.
And...

* Some people/corps are taking advantage of the situation.
* Some people/corps are promoting panic so that...
* ... they can take monetary advantage of the situation.
* ... they can take a controlling advantage of the situation.
* Some people/corps have engineered the situation so they can either/both the above.

Over here they are (re)starting regular health service to prevent that from happening. That is possible because the number of Corona patients is declining.

Lucky. My mother had her chemo cancelled. The hospitals are pretty dead here. I reckon it's going to turn into a shit show beyond all proportion yet.
