NHS England - At least 13 of today’s deaths were healthy adults. No underlying conditions. This should be a massive wake up call to people.

We have just been sent this and nearly pissed ourselves laughing. A masterpiece.

Has it been flagged on TWO? If not here's the link. Enjoy.

I've been thinking about this and older generations were asked to go to war, to kill and to be killed. All we are asked in order to save lives is to stay home at a time when technology makes it so easy.

Herd immunity will be reached before a vaccine is made anyway, I think that's where the max 20,000 number comes from?

Eg those where social distancing is easy such as outdoor activities.

We're past the 30k mark now for global deaths from Covid-19, so not sure where Beast was getting 20k from. I can only assume he's referring to modelled UK deaths from this virus once it has swept through.
