A challenge to Organ Morgan

[tell it like it is]

It appears that covid-19 fails the HCID test because it does not have a high case-fatality rate. It seems that the argument therefore being put forward by Organ Morgan is that our response is disproportionate based on the fact that it isn't *that* fatal.

However, what he is ignoring is the fact that a large number of people can be hospitalised at one single time, resulting in the collapse of the NHS. Organ Morgan seems fixated on the numbers of people dead. The fact it is not one of the rare diseases labelled a HCID does not necessarily mean the Government response is disproportionate.

Indeed, and that's what a lot of people miss.

The lockdown isn't to prevent a large number of the deaths that are occurring - it'll cut down, sure - but to prevent NHS being overloaded. Spread the hospitalisable cases over a longer period, relieving the stress on the NHS as you say.
