melthebell Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Just now, onewheeldave said: Coronavirus mainly kills the vulnerable, who made up the majority of fatalities during the first wave, so there are now less people who are vulnerable, therefore less deaths. Maybe also the virus is mutating to something less serious, that does happen with viruses. a lot of the vunerable are also still shielding, guess what that is, yeah its a "lockdown" and who gives them it? people who might be asymptomatic but ok themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're another one wrongly reading "underlying health condition" as "at deaths door". 15 million people in England have a long term condition - do you want to kill them all off?

butlers Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 As being overweight and diabetes are two of the conditions that are heavily implicated in the deaths ,theres a huge vunerable population out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes far more sense for the vulnerable to be in quaranteen, rather that everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butlers Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Around 1 in every 5 people who are infected with COVID-19 develop difficulty in breathing and require hospital care. People who are aged over 60 years, and people who have underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, respiratory disease or hypertension are among those who are at greater risk. Again last I saw was 5 percent actually are admitted . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
