Growstuff - 'what questions would you ask?'
I'd ask why the lockdown is being dishonestly presented as a solution. It's a mere delaying tactic, (a very important one but) that's all.
I'd ask about the 'exit strategy' too, because, unless a miracle happens and a vaccine is developed and produced in record time, there isn't one - we are still in a (slowed down) herd immunity situation.
The whole point of lockdown is to prevent excess deaths. The more the NHS is overwhelmed, the more there'll be.
We are held back from catching the virus - so that we can be processed through the hospitals in batches. Why is that not clearly explained?
The plan is to lift restrictions, then watch infections and death rates rise again until they are, of necessity, imposed for a second time.
It's not much of a plan - but better than nothing. Why has it not been presented and discussed?
Why was lockdown presented initially for three weeks (when we knew it would have to be longer)?
Do the public need to be treated like small children and protected from the truth? If so, who made that decision?
The fact remains that the virus will spread until about 80% of the public has had it. At that point it should naturally die out, due to difficulty of transmission - perhaps by next spring. The lockdown has just extended the timeframe for infection - all we could do with an inadequate NHS.
