Because you claimed

 

"The vast majority of those 40,000 were in the main extremely ill and would likely have died in the very near future anyway."

Fair point; on reflection that is not accurate. I'd say the majority were extremely ill (diabetes, heart disease etc], very old, and, a fair number of them would have died in the near future either from their health conditions, their advanced age or, whatever infectious disease they got exposed to.

That’s what you’d say.

 

What do the medical profession say?

 

Or the stats, for that matter.

 

I’ll give you a while to peruse this and check out your “would have died anyway” hypothesis.

I don’t think we should just dismiss COVID as something that just affects old people with health conditions. 
The effects of ‘long COVID’ affecting younger people are very debilitating.

First day at work wearing a mask all day not going to be fun.

Been in a Premier store and a small newsagent this morning - neither assistant wearing mask.

Are we supposed to say something?

Just reading that Leeds is likely to face new restrictions from midnight in the fight against Covid-19, including a ban on households mixing, its city council leader has said.

I wonder how long it will be before it happens here in Sheffield as well.

They might be exempt so I wouldn’t personally.

I guess that will depend on how our infection rate looks compared to that of Leeds. I don't think geography alone is enough for one place to influence another.

 

Having said that, just like Leeds we are a large City with dense population and the addition of significant numbers of students which have recently flooded in.  

 

If we want to avoid it - let's just hope us Sheffield folk are more sensible and compliant to the rules than those up in West Yorkshire.

You have my sympathies. I notice that all taxi drivers now also have to wear masks against their will. We live in crazy times
