6/ I.e. "Prove that people who were gonna get sick didn't get sick!" That's a nonsense way of framing this. Instead, look to the places already struggling, in the U.S. and abroad, and tell us with confidence that would have happened if we hadn't distanced earlier. You can't.

7/ I'm seeing increasing amounts of gibberish from places I never thought I'd see it. I didn't set up Breitbart London back in 2014 for them to publish tripe like this:pic.twitter.com/RpkvdFKYSD

8/ Yes, you read that correctly. So-called "pro life" conservatives stating we are "overvaluing" the lives of older people. Because fuck grandma, right? When you can have artisanal sourdough instead.

9/ All the news outlets and Twitter checkmarks going, "OMG NEIL FERGUSON CHANGES HIS MIND!" Stop listening to them. Unfollow them. They're lying to you. Ask why. Here's what Ferguson said:pic.twitter.com/9cytfbkaIb

10/ It's very clearly *in* the Imperial report from the 16th March, too. There's no "back track" or "revision". The fact is we have not gone down the "Do Nothing" route. Read for yourself, Page 13: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/sph/ide/gida-fellowships/Imperial-College-COVID19-NPI-modelling-16-03-2020.pdf …

11/ I get it. We ALL want to stop job losses, etc. But inventing false narratives to support this Dow Jones/corporate America line is precisely the reversion to old GOP gibberish that the MAGA world should be seeking to avoid. Cloaking it in pseudo populism is even worse.

Are you channelling Piers Morgan by any chance? Sure sounds like it...

You realise I've been covering this longer than some bloke on ITV in England has, right? Sit down.

Well as I have a medical background, and you have angry rhetoric, maybe it's you who should sit down.

Imperial have clearly stated 2/3rds of the predicted 20,000 deaths would have died anyway in the next 6 months. This is dishonest modelling. It stinks of the Swine Flu debacle all over again.

That's not the same as what we're talking about. Stop moving the goalposts to fit your need to prove someone wrong about something.

If we tank the UK economy over 6/8,000 deaths, mostly in economically inactive people, do you think this will have all been worth it?
