What a lot of absolute tripe, cods wallop, bull dermot. If it wasn't so serious I would have peed myself laughing.

In order to demonstrate could somebody please get a bucket and a plastic glass with two holes in it of pretty much equal size, One represents the people who recover (but many will need additional care for some time) and the other represents the people who will die (he forgot to mention that one) , Now start pouring the water out of the bucket at an ever increasing rate. As the man says you start quaranteen when the glass is full.

Oops what has happened. The water continues to flow out of the bucket at an ever increasing rate for another 3 weeks. That is the period at which twice the number of people that have already been infected come down with the symptoms.

The very failure of this fantastical story is that COVID-19 (also being referred to as SARS-CoV-2) is not a tap. It is more like a runaway steam train that will continue to build up velocity long after the driver and the fireman have jumped and will continue until the fire burns down.

It is an absolute fantasy to think that you can slow down the spread of the virus by doing nothing.

If you think I am wrong get out a chess board and put £0.O1 in the first square £0.02 on the second £0.04 on the third etc. When you have completely filled the chess board continuing that sequence you can make a small donation to your local hospital.
