I'm not sure your options for the vote are realistic.

We need to look at places that are ahead of us on the curve and see what they've done. We're behind a few so we should be looking at what has worked best and when.

And therein lies a problem. What is best? I don't think the UK government and I have the same values.

It wouldn't surprise me if Boris and the Bastards went for an option that was most beneficial to those backing the Tory party while at the same time culling the old and vulnerable to slash the benefits bill - as if the OAP was a benefit!

Did cross my.mind...however it says there is something like over 700k over 70s in Scotland alone..it is goes tits up and even 5% of over 70s dies there would be a revolution I suspect.

"However, the lethality of the virus will not land evenly across age groups: According to data from the outbreaks in Italy and China, mortality rates rise significantly among older patients. In a study that has not yet been peer-reviewed, researchers at the University of Bern in Switzerland used data from the Chinese Center for Disease Control to determine that mortality rates among those infected in January and February in Hubei province shot up with each decade:

Age Group — Mortality Rate

0-9 — 10-19 — .02 percent
20-29 — .09 percent
30-39 — .18 percent
40-49 — .40 percent
50-59 — 1.3 percent
60-69 — 4.6 percent
70-79 — 9.8 percent
80 & up — 18 percent
