This is my big concern about the Scottish/UK/World response to Covid. We've panicked and decided to ignore everything else whether it be other health conditions or the economy.
In the short-term, ill people are being neglected, because the NHS is, as a matter of policy, totally de-prioritising all other conditions, and it's killing people, quite possibly more than the virus. In the longer term GDP will drop and that is very closely correlated with life expectancy.
That's why I don't join in with the clapping on a Thursday evening. But I'll raise a glass to your bolshie paramedic!

Exactly. There wasn't this responce to SARS , MERS etc. I've almost certainly lost my job, I'll survive. My self isolating widowed mother is coping well enough as I bring her booze she doesn't ask for, but has totally stopped watching the news. My widowed mother in law still watches and news and is on the phone in tears most days. I really can't imagine what this will do for those with mental health issues isolated for 6 weeks plus. I read that the NHS is currently at 40-45% capacity which means that so many people are missing or not receiving treatment that an absolute time bomb is just waiting down the line. The damage to the economy and the poverty that will bring is the next time bomb. I feel bad for saying it, but as a society we seem to think that we have conquered death until well into our twighlight years. I've raised quite a few glasses to the bolshie paramedic, thankfuly we still have a few that say bollocks to the jobs worths.

All of which makes me think it is man-made.

I am not usually one for conspiracy theories but I do wonder why the USA pumped huge amounts of money into Porton Down so quickly. That, plus Trump's deflective insistence in calling it the Chinese virus.

Iran is another hot spot. Coincidence or convenience?

There was also the small matter of the Military "Olympics" in Oct 2019. Held in ... Wuhan

And to be fair the population density of Gruinard Island in the 1940s was a little bit less than modern day Wuhan.

I've no doubt it's man made, but accidentaly in the wet markets of China which is where other zoonotic CV varients have developed.

Anyhoo if you were developing an effective bio-weapon Covid 19 would not be it: Fairly infective but doesn't generally do young people much harm but has the potential to thin out the ranks of the elderly and chronically unwell.

Is this the point where I have to slap some sense into people ? Covid 19 is a lousey bio weapon as it is very inefficient at killing fighting age males. It's a wonderful economic bio weapon but only because we have choosen to make it so. The closest country to having a vaccine is Israel, obviously it was mossad that did it ..... :roll:

Actually I think we have to blame the Swedes, they're the only ones who have resisted the hysteria and are carrying on business as usual. At least their pubs are open, even if it costs £10 per pint. I'd happily emigrate there!

SHTF (shite hits the fan).

I don't necessarily think COVID-19 was released as a bio weapon but I do think the virus was being studied at the Wuhan Institute of Virology by the "bat woman" and it accidently leaked out.

The swedes are so crazy they turn cow farts into fuel for buses. You can only emigrate there if you have a proven history of buying bland but VERY safe cars. Plus I had to work there, half a mile inside a mountain, in a railway tunnel, in a place called Bastad ( where previous attempt to drill the tunnel poisoned all the local cows ). You try writing multiply reports about a place called Bastad without developing a paranoid requirement to check the spelling of every mention of Bastad :o
I should also add that their adherence to speed limits on roads is truely depressing
