I had a cousin in his late 40s who did running competitions. He got cancer
and was dead in 9 months. Perhaps we should all be locked in our homes
in case we get hit by a cosmic ray in the sunshine or breath in some toxic
diesel fumes and also get it?

As you well know a usenet post is not going to cover 100% detail like an
essay in the BMJ,
declaring Women should stay in or keep their genitals well covered will not
go down well though another use of that phrase may put you in such a
position to be at risk , but we are now straying into an area that is
well OT for UKR and where tunnel shots do not mean an album of places under
hills with openings at both end.

Cancer isn’t contagious and you are not being asked to limit your movement
just to protect yourself and family.

Right, because Kier Starmer and Labour would be so much more relaxed with the
Covid restrictions. Oink flap.

The whole political class are rabbits in headlights because apparently some
full ICU wards in a few hospitals are a "national emergency" because hysterical
medics are constantly talking it up. Sorry, but a national emergency would be
a total collapse of the water or food supply, a return of the black death with
its 40% fatality rate or being bombed for 50 consecutive nights in a row as
per the Blitz.

place, Boris and Co see the Covid crisis as a war and without the time to
debate nicely about it may soon start to get heavy handed and worry about
the fallout later.


Given the protests that have already happened under the current restrictions
getting more heavy handed I suspect would backfire badly.

"Spud" is either a racist idiot or someone cleverly playing the part of
a racist idiot. If the latter, he is no doubt enjoying a laugh at the
expense of all the people he has trolled.

Probably not but you are missing the point, a Labour Government or even a
coalition with anyone but the Tories would be unlikely to have a majority
large enough that they could continually ignore the concerns of MP’s who
wish to question what they say are undemocratic decisions such as the one
for this area New Forest West whose somewhat theatrical orations have
become a rallying point for people who share the same concerns as yourself.

IF enough people go sick in supply chains,utilities and transport we could
well see some of that occur ,
SWR and GWR had to reduce services due to Covid related staff shortages a
few weeks back before the present reduction of services eased the problem
so it has already affected an aspect of transport.

You are not alone in your point of view but if you are confident enough in
the situation is like you say it is are you and your immediately family
willing to knock up and carry something like an organ donor card with a
message on it something like “ Do not resuscitate if facilities are
overloaded ,give my place to someone else” and gamble on never having to
produce it.

You often refer to wartime, people who were likely to take too much time to
deal with such as foreigners who had left Europe to escape the fascists
were still put in interment camps with others
whose intentions may have been less desirable, the fallout was dealt with
later.
The Isle of Man may not be available but a couple of camps could quickly be
established on Salisbury Plain or for people from your area the big army
area in East Anglia which was taken over in WW2 and never given back.
Stanford ISTR, often used for location work on Dads Army.

And whereas the other big political debate that took place recently with
the B word was actually a close run thing which is why it took so long on
this issue people like yourself may think you have a lot of support because
they shout loudest on social media they are probably a far smaller
percentage of the population than they think.

There's a difference between going sick and being forced to stay away because
you tested positive for a virus that hasn't even given you symptoms. Thats
a self inflicted problem.

Good luck doing that today with an army down to 80K soldiers.

I don't particularly care. I'm not going to change my opinion because you and
other groupthinkers don't happen to agree with it.

over six months after getting Covid, struggles to walk 200m without a rest.

Life has risks, deal with it.

Standard practice is to avoid risk if possible. Your cosmic rays
should be viewed in the context that you should instead be worrying
about UV radiation and taking appropriate precaustions. With diesel
exhausts you avoid sucking exhaust pipes or otherwise getting too
close; you should also maybe worry more about benzene from petrol
engine exhausts.
Other risks are standard parts of life. You mention cancer but not
what type; some are genetic, some are transmissable, some are induced
by contact with external agents. Again, the risk can often be reduced
with simple precautions.
