Kevin, what you're failing to appreciate is that lockdown kills people. Disruption to cancer services, suicide, domestic violence, medical neglect and isolation, sickness from physical inertia. Plus long term psychiatric injury. Sweden wins, hands down.

Of course I’m not - there are consequences to all actions. UK Government’s failure to prepare on testing & tracing, PPE and delays means we could have avoided the excesses of our lock down. And wider NHS / public health / police cuts obviously have reduced ability to respond

Can we focus on the UK and comparable nations that were the focus of your discussion. I’m horrified at the direct and consequential impacts globally, but that wasn’t what you were discussing

We can talk about the 1.5 million people unable to access food in the UK if you prefer. Or the doubling of domestic violence murders since lockdown began. Or the hundreds of thousands who will die from cancer services disruption. Or the suicides. Or the elderly who will die

without ever seeing family again. Or the deaths from physical inertia (stroke and heart attack). Or the simple awfulness of indefinite total isolation. Take your pick. International or domestic there's lots to choose from

Though may I observe that the 1.5 million who die globally every year from TB ought to humble us a bit. Does it only count if it happens in the UK?

Stop your whataboutery and get back to your assertion on Sweden being an exemplar on lockdown. Or have you lost that argument and just want to change the subject. Please answer the question

I answered the question. Coronavirus is going to kill a certain number of people. Flattening the curve always made that plain. It slows deaths but it does not stop them. In the meantime, the government policy of lockdown adds additional deaths. And long-term sickness. Sweden

Enjoy your evening all. I’ve had enough of your very odd views
