Graham - I wonder if your 98 year old mother at her time of life, would prefer a few months longer of family contact, or 12 months more of a sterile life with little or no personal contact and no hugs from her family.Originally Posted by Graham Breeze
Stolly, I am not opposed, in general, to the action the government has taken and I fully appreciate that thousands of lives will have been saved - possibly including my almost-98 year old mother.
However as someone who used to be paid to present data and arguments to serve my masters I like to think I can still look at eg histograms and ponder, rather than unthinkingly accept and believe what I am meant to.
And btw my son, daughter in law, grand-daughter all work in Leeds NHS hospitals,including on Covid wards, and tell me more than the government ever will.
My neighbours 100 year old Mum has said she would chose the first option.
