Lady on the TV last night telling the sad story of how her husband contracted Covid and died, in hospital in September. She then continued to attempt to shame those people who don't socially distance, etc. thereby "spreading the disease".
Did she convey a faulty understanding of the facts regarding this pandemic? These seem to be that:
1. We're all inevitably going to become infected, unless you live on your own on a 'island' for the rest of your life with no contact with other humans.
2. If, for what ever reason your physical constitutions is such that you have a severe reaction to the infection, then inevitably you'll going to have a severe reaction. If it's going to be fatal to you, then it's going to be fatal to you. Lockdown delays the inevitable, tragically.
3. If there are too many severe infections all at once, then the NHS will become overwhelmed and those severely infected who might have been helped to avoid death, will succumb and die.
4. Lockdowns, simply control the number of severely infected coming to the attention of the health service at any one time.
5. Unfortunately, lockdowns also cause many non-covid deaths and exacerbate other health (mental and physical)issues causing non-covid suffering.
6. We're between a rock and a hard place. But the lady was mistaken in her shaming of others?
7. Don't hold your breath (literally and metaphorically!) for a vaccine. It not coming any time soon - if ever.
Other factors not considered? Incorrect facts above?
