I was watching that silly thing that's on at around 5pm more evenings ... what do they call it, oh, yes, 'The Daily Briefing'.
It was all the usual psychological nonsense about the reasons for the lockdown and avoiding 'the second wave'. It was constantly mentioned, meaning Joe Public is told there WILL be a second wave.
Then they started the slides and I noticed this one in particular. I observed it and .... it's astounding other people don't work out what I did. The UK is in this crippling lockdown due to a 'killer disease' that affects only 0.25% of the population. WTF.
Let's work that out. If it was 25% it would be one in four people. If it was 2.5% it would be one on forty people. It's 0.25% which means it has affected one in four hundred people. So if there is 400 people in a room, odds on one person has the infection. If there are 4000 people, that's 10 people affected ...... that is not major odds.
It is not sufficient enough to lock the whole country down.
Yes, there are people unfortunate enough to suffer the cynotic storm effects of their own immune system reacting to Covid-19, and those with other underlying health conditions are sadly passing away. But out of those 10 people in 4000 who have Covid-19 around 1.40 of those people might suffer fatal effects of the virus. Which means that out of the 2.5% of 4000 people in a room are likely to get Covid-19 which means there is a chance that 140 people of that 4000 will die of Covid-19. Which is 350 in 10,000 IF 2500 of those people get infected.
Very low risk in my view. Yes, it's a killer virus but the risk is less that some other serious aspects of life on Planet Earth. Observe. Don't participate. See the madness for what it really is!
