>>My understanding is that the young are far less likely to pass it on to others.
Well your understanding is a pile of crap.
>>Plenty of scientific research indicates that no adult has been infected by a child
I flat out do not believe you. You mean that they have tracked down exactly which person every one of the 348,000 victims caught it from? And it's been done *plenty* of times?
Do feel free to point me at this "plenty of scientific research".
Remember what happens every damned year on the first week back at school after the summer? Everybody gets colds and other bugs passed around by the kids going back to school. Any particular reason you think COVID-19 would be different?
>> as the dead in the main have been elderly catching it in close proximity to other elderly people
And how did the first elderly person get it? And why did it happen only once?
4% of the population has so far been reported to have had COVID-19. If that is also 4% of >70s then that is 350,000 people. There have been 34,000 deaths, so if they're all >70 that would be 10%.
10% of 8.8m people doesn't bear thinking about.
There's all sorts of things wrong with those figures, but the point is that blasé statements such as "yes, more people will die" should be consigned to the trash can.
I agree that the country needs to work out how to live with this virus and still function, but not by being stupid.
>>It is not rocket science, merely logic.
Sure about that?
