The first three doctors who've died in the UK after contracting coronavirus whilst trying to save people's lives. 

 

"Those bloody foreigners. Coming over here and putting their lives on the line..."

And you pinched it from Twitter.

What the hell are you waffling on about now? 

 

 

Oh, sorry, you know when Hagrid meets Harry at the lighthouse and rescues him from the Dursley’s?  He says ‘You’re a wizard Harry’. 
 

so, what I did was replace ‘wizard Harry’ with ‘racist Stronts’.  Glad to help.

I just reject the idea that naturalised British citizens are any less British than those who were born here. They are certainly not foreigners. I thought progressives were supposed to reject the idea that there are two tiers of citizenship.

He nicked it off Twitter, thought he was being smart. 
 

why would you take someone off ignore?  It’s really strange.  Then act disappointed when they are the same as before.

Isn’t herd immunity- with a vaccine - the ultimate goal? So the virus has no one to leap to and therefore dies out? 

Yes I think so, i believe it creates a firewall to protect the vulnerable as it cannot leap around new victims.

Yes. To try and do it by letting the disease run through a population sounds extremely risky, especially as we don't know why it predominantly kills those 50 and over. For example, could there be a cohort of people in younger age groups who have the same vulnerable characteristic(s) but haven't been subjected to the infection as yet?
