>Humans die all the time, people are just squeamish about it

Oddly enough, I'm kind of find of my remaining loved ones. Something you clearly have no experience of given the flippant and casual disregard for the thousands of deaths which have occurred so far.

Any excess is too much. Why are you so fixated on deaths anyway? Is that all Radio 4 talks about? You've just ignored the fact that this is shaping up to have a long lasting and massively widespread impact with regards to chronic illness and after effects.

>Hard reality is that the current restrictions, economic cost and social upheaval of our covid response just isn't worth it in the cost/benefit analysis.

Says who? Is it up to you to decide what human lives are worth? I'm guessing your view is "not very much".

>People should be given the relevant information, advice and support and then be left to make their own decisions. These sweeping new powers are totally beyond the pale.

People were informed and told what guidelines to follow. People are, as a group, stupid and very selfish. That's why we are in the situation we are now. Arseholes like you who think that they can do what they want have fucked it for all the good, decent people.
