You are correct of course.
.
An excess of posts recently from fear mongers, stoking up hysteria about “international plots to control the masses”.

I personally ain’t saying it’s a plot to achieve what you say, (although the exaggeration and scaremongering has made servility a by product) but you’ve got to admit that if it was, or even some kind of drastic social experiment, it’s definitely worked.
Many people are completely ott sold on it, and moving away and avoiding you like you’re walking around naked with a chainsaw. :unamused: :smiley:

Absolutely. I haven’t needed to carry my chainsaw for six months…

Is there any place out there where the local Covid death rate has climbed above the local natural causes death rate, including those dying from cancelled operations, road accidents, no access to casualty, closed-down care homes, etc etc.?

205

I think there not expecting the pubs reopening on the 2nd of December and it moving into a tier 3 situation where shops can open but not hospitality venues.

Is it that we are sold on it? Some people have servery sick parents and in my case a very vulnerable child who if in fact this turns out to be “real” and not just a social experiment, it would kill him.

I 100%respect the fact that people can believe what they want in regards to this, I don’t know where i stand myself, but i cant take the risk. I have changed my approach where i wont get close to people, while out shopping i will be patient and wait for people to move rather than just “reaching around them” to hurry myself along. But if people don’t show me the same level of respect and patience then they are “politely” told to stay away from me.

Like i said i’m on the fence…but the risk it to great for me to not adapt or take no notice of.

When it comes down to it, we’ll all be having to completely re-assess ALL the daily risks we take in our lives, that prior to lockdown we probably either ignored, or took for granted as “Negligable”.

We take a risk pulling out at junctions without looking properly… Or driving the way the firm wants you to, rather than the way you know from years of experience is safer… Or even slowing down to well below the speed limit, because there’s a blind bend, a parked car, kids about, etc that often causes a groan from behind, but even if it saves one life per 100 times done - is going to more than make up for the 1% death rate from Covid - insn’t it?

“To wear a mask, or not wear one”.
There have got to be places where wearing a mask concentrates any germs or bugs that might get trapped in that mask, and then further culture there?

Does “Sanitization” do any good - really?

It is all very well spending many minutes going through the “Cleansing Ritual” only to plunge filthy dirty pert penny pieces deep into trouser pockets when putting away one’s change out of the autotill at the supermarket… Or as I do, have one’s glasses steam up, forcing me to adjust my mask every minute, lest I cannot see through the fog of my own making…

Chances are, we’re ALL going to be catching Covid eventually, and we’ve all got the option in the near future to take the vaccine - or no. I’d rather not be forced to take it though, as it is highly likely that “unpleasant side effects” like with the Flu Jab are going to adversely affect more people than actually NEED to be innoculated, essentially those over-reacting to the risk of catching it in the first place.

I’d be interested in something that reduces the risk of carrying this though, bearing in mind my household are considered a “vulnerable group” and all.
On that subject, the normal two or three times our household normally catches some cold or flu bug each year - has been limited to just the once at the end of september.
I would imagine for the vast majority of the public - my own household’s experience of Covid throughout this year so far - has been similar? They would be staying at home a lot more - if they were more scared of it than average, but the “average” doesn’t seem to be scared of it at all, traffic at normal levels, not many masks being worn by people walking down the street, and suchlike examples… :neutral_face:

I think a lot of the POVs given depend on how close Covid has come to your own sphere of existence: recently someone on the edge of my extended family appeared to have Covid and went for a test. I found my POV changed rapidly when I had to consider how it could severely impact my next few weeks.

Now that they have tested negative the flap is over, but I am very conscious of how this near encounter radically altered my feelings and POV in a matter of a few minutes.

I do get it mate, but some people are just plain terrified, you approach them wearing your mask,.and they wearing theirs, and they look at you as if you’re going to mug them.
I don’t want to get it as much as you don’t, and I’m sorry to hear about the situation with your kid, and I can see why you are extra careful.
On a lesser level.I do have elderly relatives, I’m very careful around them, …but ffs, with some of them you meet, you can sure as hell tell the fear offensive is deffo working,.and then some. :unamused:

With Trump and Brexit both being on the edge of oblivion, the purpose of “Covid” is nearly complete.

Watch how quickly it all disappears once Farage and Trump have been forgotten, and the Chinese come a-knocking for their debt repayments - payable in entire cities, counties, and countries…

The Ruling Left around the world - are totally beholden to taking out fresh debt from China each time they get elected. Sooner or later that debt has to be re-paid - or liquidated by default. There’s no “middle way” to dealing with debt via “partial default” like what happened on the 1917 war bonds any longer…

I’m puzzled as to why the Political figures of the Left are not advocating Debt Walkaway as a means of “getting one’s life back”?

Just as Hitler was a “Socialist” using Right Wing Terror to get his agenda done, we currently see Left politicians demanding “debts must be repaid”, whilst Right politicans are shooting far left to the back of beyond, wanting now to run up more debt with foreign communist regimes than even Corbyn had in mind…

So much for “Get Brexit Done” huh?

Who’s idea was it to leave Brexit until after the US election eh?

At the next election, people won’t be running into the arms of Keir Starmer neither… The Labour party are split, with half likely to go the way of characters like Len McCluskey…
Who wouldn’t have laughed if someone said a year ago “Corbyn is going to get kicked out of the Labour Party next year”…?
Indeed, Corbyn’s policy we got told “was too expensive” of Universal Income - makes us now feel like that Noel Edmonds game where you reject the box, only for it to have the major maximum prize in it… Plenty of penny prizes remain… Corbyn threw his chances of becoming PM away when he pandered to the Centerists of the party, and took upon the mantle of Remain, even though PM Cameron at the time - had already picked that ball up… Imagine if he’d gone for Brexit back when he became leader… How different things would be right now.
I’m only Left on Finance though, and couldn’t vote for Corbyn because he supports Terrorists, and rejected Brexit in the end.
I’ll probably be voting for Farage at the next election, or any other candidate who’s party has NOT got any members at Westminster yet. :frowning:
I strongly suspect around 70m Americans will be thinking the same about voting out the Dems AND Republicans in 2024 now…

You are correct of course.

You again.

I would pay good money to the BBC for them to put out a newsflash stating that the covaids can be transmitted via the internet and so you must fully disconnect your internet and isolate it otherwise you gonna die. It would make internet forums and other social media platforms a much nicer place to be without having to listen to the constant fearmongering, hysterics and bed-wetting from clueless people such as yourself.

A virus so highly contagious that you need a test to know if you’ve got it

Says the man that made this ludicrous comment recently. What exactly is COVAIDS by the way? As I said before try waking up and realise what is going on in the world before spouting complete nonsense. Look at how well other countries have done by using strict lockdown (and people who understand) compared to the Uk which seems to have it’s fair share of complete dopes when it comes to Covid 19. Clueless is the word. :unamused:

A portmanteau word formed from Covid and AIDS, based on the similar, fear-driven hysteria around AIDS back in the day. I remember, in around 1989 seeing someone on the TV announce solemnly “By the early 1990s, every family in the country will be touched by AIDS”. I said at the time that this was a complete load of ■■■■■■■■ but there were plenty of gullible idiots ready to believe it. No doubt you would have been one of them.

Harry you are not a stupid man but anyone who tries to compare covid with aids ain’t quite right in my book! HIV in England is not really a problem for the average straight male. Never has been , never will. Straight males could avoid HIV and so could gay men if they had any control.
Were there ever 35500 new cases of HIV in England on any one day? Were the HHS ever overwhelmed by HIV? Did we need a lockdown to control stupid people for HIV? Did HIV cause hospitals be so busy they could not deal with cancer patients etc.?

Most people can now live with HIV and hopefully in the near future we can live with covid but with a such a high number of covididiots and conspiracy theorists in the UK I am beginning to wonder.
