Clubs still allowing sailing

The reality is A&E's are empty, that 4000 bed hospital? Empty.

There will be a spike, like those doctors said, but that's because we've all been cooped up and our natural immunity has been weakened by it.

I've NEVER had hay fever, yet today on my bike ride for exercise that I use to replace my sunday sailing, I'm sniffling and sneezing like a covid victim, if I were less analytical I'd be blocking the 111 lines.

I believe this whole affair has been a gross over reaction, based on the dubious advice of that one discredited 'expert' Ferguson.

I'm entitled to an opinion, you lot may disagree, I believe you've all been media brain washed, I believe the Government had also been misinformed but politicians are more scared of the media than they are of ruining a few businesses.

We have never in our entire history allowed our civil rights and libertys to be so abused and we should be questioning, not meekly accepting all the bullsh*t we're being fed.

Of course no one likes being locked up GRF, and there has obviously been irresponsible reporting and hysteria.  That is the curse of the 21st century - 24hr news outlets looking to fill space.

Making a very simple thing into a major conspiracy, you will be out burning G5 masts next, for a conspiracy to have any credence, you need to say what you think it is, I could say they are doing it to see how fast nature can repair world or the virus is spread by car fumes, that's why they have locked us up to reduce pollution.

But filter out all the noise and there is one simple stat. Normally at this time of year there are about 10,000 deaths in England & Wales every week.  Currently there are about 18,000 a week.  Almost twice as many people are dieing as is normal. That is even with the lockdown measures in place.

Yes, I hear what you're saying, I just wonder about the stats, the way they are complied, the way they are presented, I've read so many contrary feeds my heads spinning, but the one which read the media are lying to hype the figures kind of stuck, as did the actual 'searching' for covid related deaths to support the figures.

Here's a question I posed elsewhere, what's happened to the normal garden variety flu figures?

Where are the figures for those who have recovered which a balanced media shoudl report alongside the deaths.

Meanwhile domestic abuse is up, child abuse, I've not been able to source anything about the current suicide rate but I wouldn't put money on it not rising.

I don't see this as a conspiracy, I view it as global media running out of control and idiot politicians badly informed   over reacting, that and mass hysteria, which you can always put down as never underestimating the predictability of stupidity.

But perhaps most importantly I see no logic in preventing us going onto the water in our boats.
