"We could tell them all to stay home longer in isolation so the rest of the population can have more freedoms". A smart Govt would do this
Lots of people are idiots, it's a fact of life. Even back in the days of the plague there is documentation of people sneaking out of their houses when they or family members are infected.
Your plan relies on enough people not being idiots.
This is an elitist attitude that's a danger to society.
Where a select few are smart, wise and trustworthy but the rest are just idiots. (dumb human cattle that need to be tightly controlled and disciplined)The issue is the wealthy elite see you and me in this dumb cattle category. And them as the wise, superior super class.
So while you in your superiority on your high horse see others as inferior to you (its really a disowned part of you that you project onto other though) the elite use this mindset to take away our rights and treat as like naughty children. And wreck the economy doing so. -

Totally wrong. The two are interlinked. Watch out for the spike in Durham and more importably Barnard Castle. It's going to be armageddon.

@booboo Just yesterday WHO were cautioning us to be aware of the second wave...
Can someone tell me why Sikora gets so much attention? Just coz he's a Dr doesn't mean he's an expert on CV?
With this on his CV how can he be questioned?
In September 2009, the convicted Lockerbie bomber, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was released from a Scottish prison on compassionate grounds. The Daily Telegraph reported that Sikora was one of the three doctors hired by the Libyan government to assess Megrahi's condition.
Sikora's report concluded that Megrahi had only three months to live due to terminal prostate cancer. In fact, Megrahi died on 20 May 2012, two years and nine months after his release. Sikora has since admitted that the "three months" timescale was suggested to him by the Libyans. According to The Daily Telegraph, this was not the first time that Sikora had been economical with the truth. Sikora's medical diagnosis was not used by the Scottish Justice Minister since it had been paid for by Libya, but his diagnosis did agree with the medical evidence that was used. Once released, Megrahi returned to Libya and far outlived the 3-month prognosis.

Because in amongst a sea of turds, the man is relief.
Most people take him on as part of their news, me included. Until you’re part of it, you can’t understand what effect a consistently damning negative press has on you.
Sikora is just part of a balanced diet.

Drowning, who knew?
The issue of course is how accurate these numbers are
Only now I m reading that past years flu deaths are not accurate
So how accurate are these reported figures for this virus?
Maybe they are accurate or maybe they are inflated for various reasonsThe 25,000 to 69,000 numbers that Trump cited do not represent counted flu deaths per year; they are estimates that the CDC produces by multiplying the number of flu death counts reported by various coefficients produced through complicated algorithms. These coefficients are based on assumptions of how many cases, hospitalizations, and deaths they believe went unreported. In the last six flu seasons, the CDC’s reported number of actual confirmed flu deaths—that is, counting flu deaths the way we are currently counting deaths from the coronavirus—has ranged from 3,448 to 15,620, which far lower than the numbers commonly repeated by public officials and even public health experts.
