That’s just it! And all this talk of “well it’s the vulnerable that are particularly susceptible”, well fucking obviously, they wouldn’t be vulnerable if they weren’t susceptible to negative outcomes from infections. In Ireland we have 500-1000 deaths from viral pneumonia every winter (influenza), nobody gives a shit cos it’s just one of those things and usually takes people with a foot in the grave anyway. But when it’s a different virus causing viral pneumonia we’re getting daily death tolls and have shut the country down like we have never, ever done for influenza. Utter madness.
