Happy to - i see you are selective in which questions you choose to answer (the minority) and ignore (the majority)
Let’s agree to differ and move on shall we?

Nice one Greta.
Now, was it Mark Twain or Mark Carlin that said “Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”?

You do what you like. I have put up with being called a conspiracy theorist throughout this thread and you have the cheek to say i throw cheap insults.
You also seem ashamed of Britains past for some reason. Why is that?
Very wise.I prefer this one:
“A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.” ― Winston S. Churchill.
Yes he was.Very wise.
Genuine question: What is the opposite term for “conspiracy theory”? By that I mean non-believers use the term “conspiracy theory”, what do believers call the same thing?You do what you like.

Thank you for your honest analysis of the situation.my two pence on the subject.
As a medical professional, I do believe there has been a lot of scaremongering going on in the media. Now, coronavirus is very real, I believe I have had it myself, albeit at a time when testing wasn't widely available even to NHS staff. A significant number of my my team have been diagnosed positive, with mild symptoms of headache and fever with full recovery within 7 days. On top of that, an even greater number were diagnosed negative with the symptoms as well, after all, the throat/nose swab actually isn't very reliable - only about 30-40% and depedent on the person swabbing, most don't go anywhere near as far up the nose as they should be doing so I suspect its probably made its way through a large proportion of the population anyway
On the number of cases/deaths I believe my trust discharged 2/3rd of everyone who tested positive, some are still inpatients and others have passed away sadly. The issue with the media is they are focusing on each and every death with poor understanding of how death as a subject actually works. Not everyone can be saved, some people will have died with coronavirus, not because of it. Whilst very tragic, a significant proportion of these people passed away with a superimposed bacterial infection, quite high risk especially on ventilators, Ive seen many who actually tested negative the second time around but then were diagnosed with legionella pneumonia. Some had pulmonary embolisms.
I believe out of 36000 people who sadly died of COVID-19, 400-500 had no underlying health conditions. This generally equates to the the same number of people who pass away from drowning each year in the UK. Additionally, what we have seen over the past few weeks is an increase in lockdown related admissions - attempted suicides, overdoses etc. It appears to be quite clear that the impact of lockdown on health has clearly overtaken COVID-19 when looking at my trust in isolation. Currently there are roughly 3500 new cases daily in the UK, 1500-2000 of them are actually key workers suggesting that the most dangerous places at the moment are hospitals, and next probably supermarkets.
I don't think a vaccine is due out anytime soon. China is currently at the forefront of finding this vaccine, I believe Oxford University are also reasonably confident but I suspect it'd be another 6-12 months atleast. A lockdown is not sustainable for this period of time, neither is the wellbeing of children so I am not surprised that the lockdown is being eased gradually. The risk of a second peak in my mind is around 90%, probably around the winter months, and I dont think the UK can economically go into a second lockdown, but I guess we'll just have to see.
Just a theory i suppose.Genuine question: What is the opposite term for “conspiracy theory”? By that I mean non-believers use the term “conspiracy theory”, what do believers call the same thing?

Could you provide some form of proof of this please. I always was lead to believe that populations in general were ageing?There's a widespread belief that the world is overpopulated and that the trend is increasing but all efforts to curb it have failed.

You would need proof that this world is overpopulated such as famines etc due to insufficient food etc i would have thought not just anecdotal evidence.Try finding someone - anyone - who believes the world is underpopulated.
