Yep especially if they log onto TNUK and read this thread
Itās all good fun
Grandpa:
A vaccine against what? A flu? Thereās one already on the market, itās called Lemsip!
Vaccines are questionable.
Inconvenient questions like why isnāt small pox vaccine made of supposed ādisabledā smallpox virus.As opposed to a harmless similar virus which luckily tricks the bodyās immune system into recognising the real thing.
Why is supposedly ādisabledā Polio vaccine infectious.
Why are Chemo patients and their carers advised against having the flu vaccine.
The relevant figure is known deaths and known recoveries v known cases.
Oh wait no one actually knows what the definition of recovery means with proven repeat cases after ārecoveryā and the question of the virus just going into hiding and dormant.Which effectively means no immunity.
Antibiotics are no use against viral pneumonia.
Try going into your doctor and asking for a test to differentiate a viral from bacterial throat or chest infection.The usual result being blank looks and being told that antiobiotics wonāt help against a viral infection.
Yes we bleedin knew that so what about anti virals.
Oh wait that costs money and the NHS hates spending money.
The NHS and the government stand to gain financially from a so called Corona virus pandemic.Which will mainly take out pension claimants and demanding health care demographics and which will eventually run its course.
So why are they so bothered about this and why the militaryās interest in it.
Whatever āitā is who would trust a āvaccineā and natural Corona viruses such as colds and flu donāt generally cause a Cytokine Storm/Septic Shock type of reaction.

The Nightingale hospitals and ventilator appeal may well have been misguided, but perhaps this conclusion can only be reached with hindsight. I donāt think history will judge this too harshly, I mean better to have them than not, right?
I think what will be looked at as grossly stupid (by future generations) is to have a lockdown to suppress the virus during the summer months, to almost manufacture a second peak in the depths of winter by opening up schools, bars, restaurants in the mistaken belief that the virus had been beaten. As soon as the lockdown was released, of course the virus was coming back!
I think I have said it before, the main reason this virus is so devastating is because of the state of health of the nation. Diabetes, heart disease, obesity have become normal and people have been ignoring their doctors for years. People donāt have time to stop and enjoy the outdoors in their hectic lifestyles and the results are apparent to see.
Lockdown is a sticking plaster for a society with decades of people not leading healthy lifestyles. Lockdown does not reverse or change any of it (besides a few people digging out running gear that they havenāt used in years). There is absolutely no need for anyone not to have a decent fulfilled life with exercise and good nourishment (in this day and age), but sometimes people donāt seem to want to help themselves, which is the strangest thing.
Another factor in all of this is life expectancy. It shouldnāt be a surprise that people over three score years and ten have more difficulty getting over this virus. The bible even alludes to those āwith strengthā reaching four score years, which of course rings true that if you have looked after yourself, your life expectancy will be longer.

I admit to a degree of sarcasm 
but seriously, a few months ago Lemsip and others had writing on the packaging recommending their products to help combat covid symptoms. They were quickly removed and itās a shame I didnāt save an image, but I suppose the powers that be didnāt want people thinking it was just a flu. 
Itās a very clever virus. It knows how many people there are in a given place, it can differentiate between people who are engaged in pleasurable activity and those at work or school, it can tell the time, it can even tell whether people are standing up or sitting down. 
Anyway, to continue; Iām surprised the thread has lasted this long ā popular subject?
If the predictions of mass burials, bodies in the streets and millions in hospital had actually happened, Iād be the first to wear a mask. It didnāt happen, so whatās the scare now, a second wave? āSorry folks, we got it wrong the first time but this time we mean it, honestly.ā
There will always a large minority of stupid in society. These are the ones who believe we serve politicians and not that the politicians are there to serve us. You think Boris is concerned that the economy tanks? Heāll walk away with a fat pension and youāll get universal credit and a decade of higher taxes to pay the damage he did. Same with Blair and his credit card spending spree. Yet what is now happening goes beyond being shafted and the occasional grumble, itās a permanent shafting that weāre all mean to cheer for. Welcome to the age of stupidity.
Just a little something I lifted from Macbeth and altered for my next political satire article.
O! well done! I bring thee pain,
And all with masks shall share iā the gain.
And now about the virus sing,
Surrounded all in a two meter ring.
Enchanted he thou hast voted in,
Become to the rest a most cardinal sin,
Heed not ye the promise of Boris and chums,
Something wicked this way comes.

^ Itās much more complicated with loads more shades of grey than that.
With numerous unknown or undisclosed factors being at work.

Thatās why I have a meal with my drink in a pub in certain areas, apparentlly in those areas it only targets those with a drink onlyā¦Iām no fool. 
Iām also a bad boy rebel , I went to the pub bog last night without my mask on. 
ā¦Franglais will be disgusted.
Just had a call from the Mrs, the guy she sits opposite to in her office has been tested positive for Covid,.so she has to stay off for 2 weeks (with pay) and isolate.
No social distancing or screens there,ā¦Christ even our lot have those in the office to protect themselves, (although they have no qualms about drivers in different motors, but thatās another story )
So basically itās been a lack of āduty of careā towards on of their employees, namely my wife. 
The same firm who come down on you like a ton of bricks if you donāt wear a high viz ā ā ā ā vest
So my dilemma isā¦Do I kip in the yard this weekend in the truck, after getting back tomorrow, to keep away from her, and re.start work on Mon?
Orā¦
Say ā ā ā ā it, go home to spend long weekend with her until Wed morning?
Hmmmm
Took me all of 2 seconds to decide.
