Coronavirus (2021) thread

Really?
What lock down?
The only thing I haven’t been able to do that I did before were travel abroad, play golf, shop at IKEA and eat in restaurants!

The only things I haven't been able to do are the ONLY things I care about; see parents and children, travel, visit pubs and restaurants, watch City at the Etihad and go to gigs. I suppose breathing is still allowed.

Yawn at “what lockdown?”.

only a blind man has not seen the empty high streets, pubs, restaurants, hairdressers and empty roads.

Anyone arguing that there hasn’t been a lockdown (with the suggestion there needs to be a “proper” one) needs to explain why lockdown works if there hasn’t been a lockdown.

If the lockdown has not impacted someone’s life massively, just be glad you don’t lead that life. It’s been fucking shit throughout can’t wait for it to even get back to what it was last summer when there were still restrictions.

i think lockdown and the vaccines have a major part in the numbers coming down ? now we will see if the vaccines alone will keep it down. its crazy to see so many people just not giving a fuck about covid-19 now

i still think the vaccines are going to take more time and improvements before we all should be look at starting again and getting back to normal. but the youth can not wait for a normal life. they need to party and party hard never thinking about tomorrow or other people

i truly hope the vaccines work and everybody can lead a normal life again ? but as for covid-19 its never going away and the normal life will be 4 months of summer and some sort of life and then winter lockdown again

We already know the vaccines work. We know from the trials, we know from the evidence of the elderly in the UK< and we know from Israel. But only half the population have been vaccinated and the young who spread it are unvaccinated.

How long it's going to take the world to get vaccinated. That really determines how quickly we get out of this.

Mr Biden the self-confessed globalist needs to organise some global campaign once his domestic campaign is done.

I don't get why national governments have not organised mass production of vaccines in the same way they approached ventilators. Everything here is left to private industry but they only do what is profitable.

Germany restricted use of AZ again.

Today is the 30th, reporting date = 30th, so two lots of data (29th and 30th) have fed into that total for the 28th.

In PCR tests up to a few weeks ago, barely any tests would be reported today with a specimen date of 29th and not a right lot for the 28th + 29th BUT the LFT tests are nearly instant plus I think there's an online reporting tool where you can log results if you're doing it at home (eg school kids) so we're in a new phase where the bulk of reported tests are actually withing quite a recent time frame

It's just the old specimen date Vs reported date thing, but with a new angle

OK thanks, that makes sense I guess.

Idiots, for the miniscule number of deaths "linked" to the AZ vaccine, hundreds are actually dying of the virus.

we don't know the vaccines work proper ? its to soon to know because of the lockdown ? the vaccines roll out has been on going for months and deaths was still rising. yes the mass population had not had a vaccine and it was lockdown slowing the rise in deaths. now we will see if covid-19 can live together with a vaccine human and we don't suffer anymore that's the biggest test still to come

covid-19 will always be here its living with it that's what the vaccines are made for. like i said the coming winter months will be the biggest test. i think we will need another lockdown or something. because when you get a cold or flu covid-19 will be something else to hit you with

the flu jab and covid-19 jab are going to be give out to everybody over 50 for years to come

Getting ridiculous now. Wtf are they playing at?

If it was not so tragic it would be like a scene from Allo Allo.

You must wait for zee vaccine as it is not safe for over 65s.

You must wait for zee vaccine as it is not deemed safer than flying to the moon in a tin bath for under 65s.

You can have it now if you are under 65. It is safe.

You cannot have it if you are under 65 as it is more risky than drinking prosecco on top of a cliff.

But you can have it if you are over 65 as it is safer than dying which you probably will if you don't give it a chance.

Why is nobody turning up to have this vaccine? Come on you people do it or Germany. It is safe. Sort of. Honest.

We have not got enough vaccine. Lets hoard all that vaccine by what is it called - Astra Zeneca.

Oh - that one - is it safe?



How to destroy the one thing that the world needs to go smoothly right now. Confidence in vaccines when there are hundreds out there desperate to put people off having it for ridiculous reasons. Helping their case with constant flip flopping and a contagion as deadly as Covid itself spreading around the globe. Yes with a legitimate reason just about but one that should have been quietly investigated before all this flapping about that has all but killed any chance people will trust it in many nations that desperately need it as it is so cheap.

A catastrophic PR job by politicians who should know better.

Why is nobody asking the obvious question in these countries - if it that dangerous why is there not a big problem in the one place where millions have been having it for months without issue?

It would have been fairly obvious by now - surely - after millions of doses administered to both young and old.
