[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1122366, member: 74121"] In defence of the Tories, Angel of Death Chris Whitty is seen above describing a 6% chance of dying amongst the elderly as "appreciable mortality". Appreciable = large enough to be noticeable. I think the term he was grasping for was "it'd be a completely unimaginable catastrophe Boris" rather than "appreciable mortality". Then here is Whitty calling for a relaxation of 14 day isolation to just 5 days in November 2020. So in the run up to the first Xmas of Covid, when we didnt have particularly well functioning vaccines (AZ introduced in Dec 2020 I think) and were still experiencing increasingly dangerous variants. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-64858758[/URL] Whitty was desperate for herd immunity. At the very best he was incredibly ignorant of air borne viruses, unable to look at data from other countries that knew what they were doing, had no grasp of public reactions to laxer restrictions and was completely lacking in any sort of empathy or ability to evaluate the value of a human life. At worst he was a profoundly dangerous sociopath who will hopefully experience appreciable medical conditions of his own before long. :p It's no exaggeration to say I think he is one of the 3 worst British public figures of the past couple of centuries (excluding criminals). Abhorrent. [/QUOTE]
