People can't stay off work forever just because there's a stronger strain of flu going round this year and, if they do make that choice then it needs to be at their own expense once businesses decide to re-open. If they showed you daily pictures of people on ventilators in hospital every year on your tv screens and published daily death figures, some people would be too terrified to do anything all the time.
The 'vulnerable' still out go on car trips and there's always the chance you will die in a car crash every single time you get in a car. Every time you get on an aeroplane there's a chance it may crash but they aren't banned because there's a possibility that may happen. There's also more chance you will die of another disease like cancer where treatment has been delayed because of lockdown measures. People really need to get a grip. One thing is for sure, when you are born, sometime in your life you will die, and where and when that happens is unlikely to be of your choosing.
Personally, I think most of the deaths recorded as being because of covid-19 will have been in people who had other issues where they would not have had a long life span anyway. There will always be exceptions, of course.
