Fuck this. It's all a scam, the economy is going to be destroyed just to same some old and/or obese people. More people of all ages are going to suffer long term just to give a bunch of fatties a few more months of life, they would be dead by the end of the year anyway.

It's all a load of fucking bollocks innit Svet mate? Since we left the EU the NHS has been getting an extra 350 million quid a week (I read it on a bus) and now they're trying to tell us it's fuckin overwhelmed? I agree with you, we should let the useless old timers fucking die.

Also not sure that the heavily romanticized vision of Sparta portrayed in movies and pop culture is accurate or worth replicating. They did kind of decline in relevance and get conquered by the Romans.

I think the deaths have been overblown. Most deaths are people who were going to die anyway and this virus was in Europe much earlier that first thought.

No, I'm "banging on" about it because it shows your inconsistency. During the Brexit arguments on here, you were resolute that we would quickly recover from any economic impacts of Brexit, no matter how severe, simply because "we're a great country". Now you're saying the opposite, that we can't deal with an economic downturn and should act in the economy's immediate interest.

Until there is a vaccine there is no going back to normal anyway. Even if your favorite pub opened tomorrow, it will not be doing much business, and to the extent it is doing any business, it is contributing to the death toll by spreading the virus to people who otherwise wouldn't have had it.
> You also told me you'd be willing to take a dent in the economy post-Brexit to secure our 'sovereignty' if need be. Seems inconsistent.
Yup. Hard to blame the UK's decision to shut down on the EU. He also voted for the ruling party that implemented this. This is as sovereign as sovereignty gets and he's not happy about it. Almost like he doesn't actually want sovereignty, he just wants the government to reflect his exact political feelings at every moment of his life, and when it doesn't he makes up some ad-hoc broader political principle he will abandon the second it conflicts with whatever his next desire is. Really makes you think. ???

I think a premature end to the shutdown is several thousand unnecessary deaths.
How anyone could justify that for money baffles me.
The way to fix this is another stim check or three and hopefully a vaccine
will be available or some good 'therapeutics'.

Should the drug be promoted or outlawed?

You say this and then provide no evidence. Even if a year over year decrease in GDP were proven to correlate with deaths (I've seen basically no evidence of this at all), it would be at best speculative as to what the relationship was between those two things. A drop in GDP doesn't cause deaths directly. A virus that fills peoples lungs and drowns them in their own internal fluids DOES kill people directly, and so if you have to decide between the thing that doesn't directly kill people, and the thing that does, you would of course choose the thing that doesn't.
