Quite obvious where most of the others formed their opinion
Mine is through my own experience
Classed as a key worker I've worked mostly since the start (2 bouts of forced self isolation)
Up until recently only one confirmed case at work with around 400 staff.
The one case the partner works at the same company and tested negative.
One guy self isolated for 6 months due to him being vulnerable (had cancer 5 years ago) he came back to work two weeks ago wearing the full face mask was dead strict on social distancing etc etc. Went home sick a week ago. Called me up a few days later and said he's tested positive.
We also have one other case at the moment.
Wife works as a nurse practitioner. Visiting patients throughout her shift st home and in care homes. I posted on the other forum months ago saying that the old are being sent to these care homes to die. A good month to six weeks before the msn broke the story. (Anyone can check)
So she was expected to change PPE in the street and go to her next visit in a car shared with another nurse. It was only a matter of time before she got it. Which she tested positive and got her result the same day they opened the tests up for key workers.
So I booked a test straight away and got a time slot the following day before the system crashed.
I tested negative.
I guess I've become a ninja at socially distancing from my wife over the last ten years so felt quite proud of myself until the experience with the co worker that had the same result.
So in my experience yes the virus is very real. But seems it quite hard to catch if you're relatively fit.
Yes it kills people but generally it people with underlying factors (age etc) so why crash and burn the whole economy that is plebs will be paying back for years.
Then you hear that consultants are on £25'000 a day. Government mates are given contracts for vast sums of money without penalties and any experience in the field they've been awarded the contracts or job.
Might not make the rest of you wonder but it certainly makes me wonder.
