Jim, //you simply didn't seem able to appreciate the threat in the future.//
I’m not responsible for your imagination, Jim.
//Events in the last month have already shown how sadly mistaken your call for perspective and optimism//
I disagree. As of last week about 10% of confirmed cases in the UK had died. It follows then that the majority by far, haven't - and that takes no account of the vast number of unconfirmed cases that have beaten it. That, to me, is good reason to keep things in perspective - and I would have thought that you, as a mathematician would recognise that. In short, as prevalent and as awful as this virus is, it doesn’t automatically mean death, which if we all listen to people like you we could be forgiven for thinking it does.
And if you’re bored with my nonsense, rest assured you’re not half as bored with that as I am with yours. I would hate to feel as hopeless and as despondent as you do about everything, I really would.
We're going around the houses again so I don’t think I have anything more to say here at the moment.
