It is simply not possible that a site has that many intrusive ads. |  |

People, won't like this, but a very wise man once said “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
There have been heaps of people (of an age that should know a lot better) on this site that have been calling for a lockdown. They have bought into the fear. Their naivety is frightening. |  |

What do you base that on?
In case you haven’t noticed, this isn’t just media scare mongering anymore. Lives are at stake. This is real. | |

It's fairly certain he wasn't referring to a smallpox outbreak or similar when he said that.
It's not really helpful to compare rousing anti-colonial speeches to trying to keep a virus at bay. |  |

I still like his quote and think it's applicable in the current context. In my 60 years I never remember a government increasing freedoms. As far as I'm concerned the damage this is doing to society long term will dwarf the number of deaths. I get that this is an unpopular view but I see the culture of where I live being shredded before my very eyes and I'm scared of expressions like "the new normal". | |

If we were the only country implementing these measures of the entire planet, then you might have some slither of a point.
As it stands you're making no sense whatsoever.
There's plenty of things to complain about/take a stance on.
This is so far from that it's not worth even considering. | |

I'm not sure you can say I'm making no sense whatsoever when I'm talking about the future. I'll stick my hand up and say I was wrong if 100s of thousands die over the next 18 months and then all our freedoms return in 36 months. I hope you'll do the same if our liberties are not returned in the next 3 years and the virus doesn't wipe out large numbers of healthy young people. [Post edited 24 Mar 2020 21:12]

Thats interesting and i do think its fair enough to be wary of issues of personal freedoms in all of this.
Personally, im not sure society would even be capable of lasting a lockdown of a year, or even bouts of more limited restrictions.
I also would doubt how long rhe govt could afford all the emergency measures. |  |

" I'll stick my hand up and say I was wrong if 100s of thousands die over the next 18 months"
That's really big of you.
How about in the meantime you keep quiet and stop trying to help as many of those deaths happen by spreading the things you are. | |

If the lockdown prevents the 100s of thousands deaths he won't hold his hand up.
How can it be proven to these sort of people that it is doing this.
With the lockdown there are thousands if not 10s of thousands dying. How can anyone not understand that without the lockdown, there would be 100s of thousands? | |

I'm not convinced he actually trolling. I think he believes the lockdown is unnecessary and is far too inconvenient for everyone.
He (along with anyone else who holds that view) needs educating. Quite honestly, what would the government be gaining? It is clear they were very reluctant (understandably - it is terribly damaging economically) to take the scientific advice to lockdown. | |

He/she/they lives in France, so they say.
There's no reason for them to continue pushing the narrative whatsoever.
When faced with disagreement they don't accept it, they just double down.
You cannot accept there are lives at stake one moment and then defend this style of deliberate and relentless posting the next. The 2 aren't compatible. | |

I think I’m possibly the most anti-authority person on here and even I understand why we’re all hiding away.
The government have nothing to gain tanking the economy and bailing us out to the tune of billions. | |

The only thing I'm spreading is calm and a sense of proportion. Do you want me to jump on the fear and panic bandwagon? Will that save lives? | |

He may have been very wise, but he was talking about politics, not epidemiology.
What is your solution to this problem, if we are not to keep people sufficiently far apart that the virus cannot be transmitted (and given they are apparently unable to do so of their own volition)? |  |
