Professor Karol Sikora the eminent cancer specialist is saying that the statistics that are being bandied about may be over inflated to the tune of 50%.
This is because of the way deaths are registered.
Some deaths have not been actually caused by the virus, but the underlying causes that made the person susceptible in the first place.
So people have died with Covid -19 rather than from it.....and there is a difference.

If left to my own devices I would have gone out and about during the last three months, but taking sensible actions to protect myself.
I have resented being 'nannied' by the state.
During all of this time, both my husband and myself have taken Vitamin C(1 gram daily) and vitamin D(10 micrograms daily) this is something we do every winter to protect ourselves from winter viruses.
So I am not at all surprised that it was reported that these actions do confer some benefits in keeping your immune system in good shape.

Taddy, you do what you feel comfortable with, and if you believe and trust the scientists and want to follow their advice because you feel safer then so be it....but for heavens sake do not shut down the whole of the UK presuming it will be less risky.

Us oldies are the ones who are seen by the younger folk as a 'drain on society'.....we are feeders not breeders and as such could be seen as disposable.
These 'protective' actions have created irreparable damage to society, economically, educationally and socially and the Covid effect will have a detrimental effect on many people for decades to come.
