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. https://fingertips.phe.org.uk/static-reports/mortality-surveillance/excess-mortality-in-england-week-ending-04-Sep-2020.html Edited September 24, 2020 by Pettytom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
redruby 279 #1302 Posted September 25, 2020 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

iansheff 88 #1305 Posted September 25, 2020 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. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/covid-19-leeds-to-face-new-lockdown-restrictions-from-midnight/ar-BB19pWcm?ocid=msedgntp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

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.
