Blimey.... Got a bit fighty with Dr Sarah on @jeremyvineon5 today talking covid. Some facts : 1. 49 people per year are hit by lightning in the UK. 33 healthy, under 40s have died of covid. 2. 253 healthy under…

@DrSarahJarvis @beverleyturner @JeremyVineOn5 Oh Beverly 🤐 the thing is maybe more healthy under 40’s would have died if it wasn’t for lockdown and now we’ll have the opportunity to see want we. Come back with your “facts” in a couple of months time. I hope no mourning families heard you this morning. Writing of deaths like

@ReedersS81 @DrSarahJarvis @JeremyVineOn5 but more healthy under 40s ARE NOT DYING across the world...They are just not. That's the problem right there - FACTS, not amorphous FEAR. If we truly grasp the significance of covid on the Elderly and Unwell, we focus where it REALLY matters.

@DrSarahJarvis @beverleyturner @JeremyVineOn5 This may be a controversial opinion, but on matters medical, I'm going with the person with the degree in medicine.

@TimtheWineGuy @DrSarahJarvis @JeremyVineOn5 This isn't strictly a medical matter. (Unless you've got something you'd like looked at - then yes, Sarah definitely better qualified than me). This is ALL a matter of opinion: weighing up economics, travel, personal risk parameters, short term AND long term deaths.

@DrSarahJarvis @beverleyturner @JeremyVineOn5 It is about protecting the vulnerable by limiting/slowing the spread. I'm in the wrong age group to be gambling with the virus, but have to shop for my parents who definitely should not be exposed. I could catch it and die from someone not social distancing then mum has to shop

@Diggythedig @beverleyturner @JeremyVineOn5 Absolutely

@DrSarahJarvis @beverleyturner @JeremyVineOn5 👆👆This👆👆

@DrSarahJarvis @beverleyturner @JeremyVineOn5 And very sadly many, many more to come.

@rob_stewart2112 @beverleyturner @JeremyVineOn5 Thank you!

@DrSarahJarvis @beverleyturner @JeremyVineOn5 Is this for real? Sarah how you keep quite as cool as you do (on the outside) is beyond me! 👏🏼💞

@DrSarahJarvis @beverleyturner @JeremyVineOn5 I'll listen to you Sarah before I listen to any of the charlatans in govt

@DrSarahJarvis @beverleyturner @JeremyVineOn5 And some of the ‘pre existing’ conditions are not rare or unusual and do not make those that have died outside of the ‘healthy’ category any less deserving of consideration.

@DrSarahJarvis @beverleyturner @JeremyVineOn5 I just had a row in Tescos with older guy not respecting the rule he had a massive go at me. The Tesco manager was amazing kicked him out! All ages are idiots...

@DrSarahJarvis @beverleyturner @JeremyVineOn5 As many that die from influenza? Or sepsis?

@DrSarahJarvis @beverleyturner @JeremyVineOn5 It was never about those who arent affected, I'm under 40 as is my child both sheilded, this isnt about individual risk is about collective responsibility, we protect each other, you dont get in a car as a none driver because you wont kill yourself, protect all and the NHS

@DrSarahJarvis @beverleyturner @JeremyVineOn5 All respect to Sarah Jarvis but I feel she is contributing to the fear factor doing the rounds at the moment in my opinion.

@DrSarahJarvis @beverleyturner @JeremyVineOn5 You mean people that ignored the clear "isolate the elderly and vulnerable" message?

@emilyalleyne @beverleyturner @JeremyVineOn5 Couldn't agree more
