CV and mad panic behaviour

[Thryleon]

I suggest that you look at that the statistics before making such an absurd claim Thry.

Even the relatively benign Omicron variant is 40% more lethal than seasonal flu.

Folk who can’t help their kids with their homework are claiming epidemiological expertise and it just doesn’t wash.

I’m not an epidemiologist and don’t claim any expertise at all in that field.  However, I have written peer-reviewed papers and reviewed papers by others.  I know how to read and interpret scientific articles and have kept abreast with the latest COVID publications.  Anyone who thinks that COVID isn’t a big deal is a conspiracy theorist or has problems with comprehension.

I am not an epidemiologist either, I'm simply looking at the state of play and calling a spade a spade.  It isn't a big deal.  It was absolutely correct to take a cautious approach, but we can see now, that if this were a truly dangerous virus, we would be in all sorts, particularly on my train this morning where I almost didn't even get a seat.

This article is balanced.  It gives the disease the merit it deserves, yet also highlights why this opinion is fair enough.  Its also worth noting, that there is no conspiracy, it isnt a sham, I never declared it one, I just simply saw that we took appropriate precautions, and now we can largely breathe a sigh of relief that the bullet is well and truly dodged.
