So, the Political decision making has no scientific underpinning.

I'll continue to ignore most of the nonsense contained in Government "advice".


Not so.This is medicine not hard science like physics or engineering. Whatever your views are you can find an "expert" to agree with you. This Irish expert takes a different view to the experts in SAGE. My gut feel is that I prefer what SAGE says for one simple reason - the rest of the world is following the SAGE approach. Or to put it another way, there appear to be far more "experts" supporting the government approach than supporting what this Irish "expert" says. Doesnt mean that he is wrong but it does make it far more likely that he is wrong.

Man made global warming is a similar situation. There are numbers of experts who say it doesnt exist. There are way more experts who say it does. People chose to believe the expert who tells them what they want to hear, as you are doing right now. smile
