Is this article something new that we did not already know?

Nothing new here almost sounds like symptom of the Trump Derangement Syndrome. Another fear article.

Who is Luke Johnson, former chairman of Pizza Express and Channel 4 never heard of him. What makes a formal chairman of Pizza Express an expert.

I would be interested how many people would know who Luke Johnson is without using google.

How many Channel 4s are their in the USA? I have a News 4 channel in my location with no Luke Johnson listed as chairman of Channel 4.

Great. Another reason for control freak mayors and governors to keep the beaches closed.

The article is a bit misleading because people who die from drowning typically don't fall in water, get pulled out, go to the hospital or stay at home and linger for a few days/weeks then pass away. Also, those people experiencing near-fatal drowning incidents usually don't come with a material attendant medical cost. Those 0-29 yr old coronavirus fatalities and cured cases come with costs such as parents taking time off from work for little kiddies. Finally, grandma and grandpa can't catch drowning from exposure to drowning survivors.

All that said, while I think many people tend to slobber all over the fantasy of Sweden's approach to this bug, the one thing SE got right was keeping schools for kids 16 and younger open. This group is the least likely to experience the sturm and drang of Coronavirus. Further, families can keep the elders away if it really worries them. Finally, parental units can continue working vs be thrust into forced homeschooling (though in the long run that experience many break the back off the NEA).

That is likely a smarter approach than destroying the service sector and stressing out 30MM unemployed people. It would be prudent and perfectly statistically supportable to reopen schools in the fall - good for the kids, and working parents, and the economy.

...But as Grampa Dave says, this isn't about your health.

I’m 57. I’m more likely to die from getting run over by crazy drivers in my neighborhood during my daily walks, than I am of the Communist Chinese Cooties.

If You Are Under Age 29 You Are More Likely to Drown than Die from Coronavirus

Not during lockdown... problem solved!

That’s only about 24 percent of the population.

Crap! You are more likely to be hit by 12 consecutive bolts of lightening than you are to get the Coronovirus 19.

"815 children ages 14 and under have died as a result of unintentional drowning each year."

All swimming is now banned.

The government will implement that ALL swimming pools be cemented over.

Wading pools are banned.

All beaches, lakes, and rivers, will be PERMANENTLY closed.

The government is going to appoint "Bathroom tracers".

They will come to your house to inspect your bathroom. If you have a bathtub you will be required to remove it.

The government is here to help (/s).

Counting raindrops.

The chances of anyone dying from this are less than 1% IF you are infected. So, the chances in the general population are a fraction of that less than 1%.

The deaths from Covid are used because everyone knows what a death is.

The numbers people should be concerned about are the post sickness impact on a larger number. But, that impact is not well known...nor easily explained.

But reading statistics from Pizza King....unless he is talking about pizzas I will defer to other sources.

Don’t tell this to any criminal, leftist democrat politician. If they knew, they would outlaw water.

It is well known that black people are much likelier to drown than white people. The systemic racism just keeps piling on.

Only if someone in a position of authority has the stones to SAY THAT. If everybody continues to genuflect to Fauci, he’ll continue to claim infallibility.....and our Nation will continue going to the dovs.
