I think this puts it well.

Rather than celebrate getting back to an old normal which can never exist, we should instead forward and aim for a new normal.

That can be better than the old normal and reduce the risk of covid returning as a major problem, but only if we deliberately make the right choices rather than closing our eyes and hoping it's gone away.

Of course you’re a fan of that miserable paranoid nutcase.

Another loon who predicted omicron was going to destroy us all

Six people in my block got a cough they can't shift. Lead to loads of UTIs and liver infections. Kids. Infirm people. Pregnant girl. Newborn.

Yeah but let's just not worry about health ever again.

I suppose the point is, this stuff will cost, if nothing else, many missed days, extra health care. A bit of care and caution and good manners is how we save this country money going forward.

More comforting to ignore informed opinion than think about it?

She’s been consistently wrong and focused on only the worst case scenarios since day one.

Sound familiar?

well you keep burying your head in the sand thicko! just ignore the untreated deaths such as cancer heart disease not to mention suicides because of lockdown! now who is the selfish thick bastard?

There were no more suicides during lockdowns than any normal time. Total myth that there were

any harm to children is child abuse which includes forced mask wearing.

This thread is literally identical to how it was a year ago, just a little quieter. Healdplace posting numbers, then the same few on either side of HP's posts calling each other irrational/naive or doom mongers. It's that on repeat every single week.

In other good news, yet another country realised that Omicron is, at worst, only as lethal as Flu

It was a great deal better when you were asking 12 questions an hour when you tested positive.

Have you?

I posted them on the Covid thread last year when people were using the same myth then.

A quick Google search will show you plenty of articles on the subject n’all

Covid-19: Suicide rate 'did not rise during first lockdown'

More people were seeking mental health support, but data shows no increase in suicides in England.

Have you?

no because they have not been counted yet but sadly over the last 2 years i am sure they will have risen sharply!

only last year lol! the true figure should be over the last 2 years ! if you are happy to say they are the same so be it .

Why would they have gone up over the last year, we've hardly had any restrictions. If they were going to rise it would have been in that first year, they didn't.

Last year was 6 weeks ago. The figures came out for 2020 suicides in Autumn 2021 so we won’t be getting 2021’s until late this year.

But we’ve barely had any restrictions at all for the last 11 months so I don’t see how lockdowns would have any impact because we’ve not been in any lockdowns. The data that is there from when we did have a lockdown show that there was no rise in suicides. It’s just a lazy myth that people have been using because there were no figures to back them up so it was easy for them to use it, as soon as figures came out it proved them wrong.
