Be honest.. tories need the majority to be stupid, and a bit racist, useful idiots to grasp and maintain power... I guess that guarantees a further sojourn in the wilderness. Some just never learn! meanwhile back to reality. An interesting article on Covid-19 with some educational tables that make the case for relaxing lockdown for all but the vulnerable, and getting most people back to work. https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/businessreview/2020/04/09/adjusting-covid-19-expectations-to-the-age-profile-of-deaths/ The figures used are raw. There are differences in what is recorded and the way it is recorded, both over time annd bbbetween coutries. To take the raw figures the risk increases with age. For the middle aged there is no way of determining co-morbidities such as obesity, diabetes, COPD, etc. They obviously exist and impact the figures, but the detail is not there to assign numerical values. It is likely the true morbidity for younger age groups is actually lower than shown for fit people.
