I was aware that a lot of people die from the flu and that vaccines can reduce that. Of course people will die, as they do of all sorts of things and it's foolish to imagine we can save everyone. Still, everyone is an idiot in some areas.

Politicians get a lot of flack, but they are people too. Their motives may not always the in the interests of the people. They may do some things that seem idiotic in an effort to be seen to do something.

From what my feeble brain can understand the measures being taken in various countries are to prevent health services being overwhelmed. We may all end up getting this virus, but we can spread that out a bit and possibly keep the hospitals operating.

Is it idiocy for us to be writing essays for strangers here? It's not like many will see them. ;)

Stay well.
