The more this virus develops and it’s becoming increasingly obvious that fatalities will largely likely be restricted to the elderly and those with underlying health issues, such as immune suppression. The more I worry that the ‘others’ that fall into these categories will be seen as acceptable collateral damage by the general populous. Who’ll then stop the conscious hand washing and self isolation that’ll restrict the spread, as it won’t be them that snuff it, it’ll be ‘others’.

Comments like the one from Le Tissier today simply aren’t helpful imo.

If you're over 70 with existing health issues how much more do you want the country to bend over backwards and sacrifice everyone's quality of life just to very slightly extend your life while young people are already poorer than ever before?

Only, you can have existing health conditions such as being immunocompromised - like for example - me, without being over 70.

As for seeing the elderly as expendable, words are cheap until it’s your own. The ‘othering’ regarding this issue bothers me profusely, I think it’s ugly tbh and a sad reflection of where we are as a divided and broken society.

Over 130,000 preventable deaths attributed to austerity policies. 2 deaths attributed to coronavirus.

The thing is, we, as the general populous couldn’t affect austerity, barring at the ballot box.

We can however, directly affect the spread of this disease, by maintaining high levels of personal responsibility. That’s the point.

How's your Ma and Pa, both in good health i hope, no hidden issues. Anyway, if you walk in the house coughing and sneezing and something bad happens you can always blame PGMOL.
