I won't let it affect my life in any other way , though. Apparently many of the deaths were because of overweight and obesity in addition to underlying health problems. The overall figures do not give a true indication of the risks and can be manipulated to make them show what governments want them to show.
The longer the population is effectively under house arrest the more their immune system will be compromised through lack of sunlight and vitamin D as well as the effect it has on mental health. One prediction in Australia states that deaths from suicide may overtake those from coronavirus.
I could go on but there are many sources on the internet that reflect my views and don't seek to brand those of us who question the mainstream narrative as crack-pots or conspiracy theorists.
Of course we do when much of the stuff is not factually correct. One case in question was the crackpot on question time last night.It might have helped his arguments had been backed up by facts. He was ripped apart more or less every time he spoke, basically becuase the facts kept contradicting his half truths.
It well might be that the overall figures are minipulated but to underestimate the amount of deaths. It is actually not known how many deaths there really are. It is true to say that unlying health problem cause the actual deaths and the reality is that none dies from the virus but it is killing people who would normally expect years more to live.
I go out and have been able to do so to go shopping since day one and for a couple of weeks now I have been able to go out for a walk. Anyone who isn't getting sun is doing so because thay don't want to. Only children under the age of 14 in Spain could not leave the house. In the UK it was never the case. And this doesn't even take into account that many key worker have continued to work through this.
More deaths from suicide has to be measured by how many are commited as a result of having to stay at home, not all suicides. Sensationlistic statictics cant be thrown assuming some of us will take it a face value. I agree mental health is a problem as is the possibilty of people dying of unrelated illnesses such as cancer but it has to be weighed up against many other things.However, if nothing been done, the likehood is that there would been the same sinario with cancer patients due to fear but with the added problem of a lack of beds.
What the compiracy theorists have so far failed to explan is in which way any government would benefit from locking down the people and trashing the economy.
I could go on too but there are also many who disparage the compiracy theorists views online. The problem is that on both sides of the argument the internet can often just mirror your own view and reinforce it, without any counter arguments to balance them.
I choose to get on with my life as i did before... Both myself and my family will definitely be flying as soon as the green light says we are able to..
