That is it seems quite common for cancer patients and I believe possibly transplant patients as well. His view is that this government has just knowingly signed his death warrant. He’s 38. He has been a conservative voter all his life, is a party member, Brexit supporter & was a Johnson fan.

I strongly disagree Winsaw. Name me a year in the last 10 when 50,000 people died of flu in the UK. In fact an average of 10,000 people die of flu each year & in a bad year up to around 25,000. You though seem to be happy for 5 times the average deaths to occur.

I am in favour of controlled relaxation of restrictions based upon the evidence. This move by the government does not meet that test as they are removing all controls at a time when the Delta variant is running amok. One thing we know from the science is that this virus mutates and whatever the next variant is could sadly be more deadly yet Johnson seems happy for more people to die.
