I'm surprised some people dare leave the house under normal circumstances in case they are knocked down by a  bus. The probability is about the same as a healthy young person catching and dying from the virus.
And all the sheep accepting the doctored figures that count anybody who dies and happens to have tested positive for the virus as a corona death regardless of what the actual cause of death is.

What a ridiculous argument - the figures aren't doctored.  Are you seriously suggesting that the fact that deaths in this country (let alone the world) are at their highest they have been in decades, at precisely the same time as there is a global pandemic of a new virus to which the population has no immunity, is somehow coincidence or consipiracy? 

I realise we are way off the topic of SNE here but the sentiment of your post is utterly irresponsible.  The whole point of social distancing is to protect others and the population as a whole.  The chances of death increase massively when health systems get overwhelmed...which is precisely what happens when people decide they are invincible and know better than the international experts in the WHO and elsewhere, and instead selfishly just want to crack on, risking spreading the virus.
