that avoids WW1 will be radically different from what we came to experience. The gravity of this even is truly... undescribable .. Thanks for making pride, to drive the world to the breaking point where those who have survived will accept a one state world and a homogenous uniform existence with When the post Brexit vote debate was raging they had the cheek to remember Peterloo with its fight for democracy (while the Left tried to overturn the one thing that more people had voted for than anything else), its fight for freedom of speech (while the Left were busy cancelling everyone who held a different viewpoint) and with its fight against the Corn Laws (whilst the Left supported the modern day Corn Laws in the shape of the Single Market). Their psychological, social and economic impact might have been justified from a collective-interest and life-saving standpoint if Covid represented an equal threat to all citizens. Yet soon into the pandemic, it became clear that Covid-19 was almost exclusively a threat to the elderly (60+): in the last quarter of 2020, the mean age of those dying both with and of Covid-19 in the UK was 82.4, while by early 2020 the Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) — the risk of actually dying if you catch Covid — in people under 60 was already known to be exceptionally low: 0.5 per cent or less. A paper written late in 2020 for the WHO by professor John Ioannidis of Stanford University, one of the world’s foremost epidemiologists, then estimated that the IFR for those under 70 was even lower: 0.05%. As Woolhouse points out in his interview “people over 75 are an astonishing 10,000 times more at risk than those who are under 15”. We needed to act much earlier than we did in March; earlier intervention can be less drastic intervention.

Though the precise truth may never be known, I am relatively certain that history will eventually come to recognize that 1914 was the year that the Gavrilos deed was not the reason for the war, it was just the occurance that brought it on. But still one wonders... Sometimes in history there are It was perfectly obvious that no one could predict the course of the epidemic over such a long timescale, so what was the point of publishing those outputs?” wrote Prof Woolhouse. Tomorrow, the Prime Minister is set to announce the end of Covid restrictions. No more free tests, or income support. Most dramatic of all, no more isolation for those infected. If this isn’t the end of pandemic crisis measures, it’s hard to know what is.

Once you get into the summer of 1914 ... the term "folly" really is adequate ... While the people in general where not all that eager for war in Entry via thorough testing and quarantine. Inside the vulnerable, 100% Covid free would live normal lives with cafes, bars and all facilities laid on: residents (esp doctors, nurses, craftsmen, chefs etc) would come out of retirement to avoid the need for entry by ‘outsiders’. Great for mental health.

Now in 2022 in the UK with almost 90% of the over 70s in receipt of their 3rd shot, testing, isolating, and early intervention therapies all become much less important. Incidentally there were no early intervention therapies available for most of 2020.Everything would get better and better. This was the world I was born in. . . . Suddenly, unexpectedly, one morning in 1914 the whole thing This of course ignores the 13.6 million informal carers, presumably some / most of whom also work / are in education, or would the majority of them have to shield as well ? or would they be obliged to continue working and mixing with the general population under the GBD scenario since they are not in a care home setting ? After all, the Left has historically championed civil rights and freedoms in society which are associated with individual liberties: the right to protest, the right to work, the right to sexual independence and freedom.”

Nearly all of the intellectual and cultural currents that we have lived with were born out of that war. . . . “I think itThis is an excellent long article, and perhaps I have just one minor quibble. The article is written from the perspective that it (the subject of the article) is about Corona, how best to handle it, follow the science, how to learn from past mistakes, etc. But it’s not. ever since. It became a kind of hole in time, leaving the postwar world permanently disconnected from everything that had come before.”-A World The second diversion was a specific outbreak of flu – the swine flu epidemic of 2009-10, largely forgotten because it killed fewer than 500 people. Those who do remember it are sure to include the parents of around 70 British children who died. “Many more [children],” as Woolhouse, 63, a father of one daughter, points out, “than died from novel coronavirus infection in 2020.” Prof Gupta when asked about this in a BBC interview suggested that the vulnerable could all be moved in to hotels.
