Coronavirus (2021) thread

Yep,back to the contradictory/hypocritical bullshit.

Wear mask on tram with 400 people to the match.. take off mask while at match with same 400 people, and stand next to them in toilets and bars, put mask back on for tram ride home.
None of it makes sense at all.

"Get on with our lives" seems to be code for "ignore covid and hope it will go away".

Doing that is precisely what has caused the worst impacts on cancer treatment, mental health and the rest.

You can't solve a problem by pretending it doesn't exist.

It’s. Not. Ever. Going. Away. Ever.
It’ll mutate and change but like cold and flu, it’ll be here, get used to it.

99.7% survival rate for 70 year olds who attend hospital is my argument. Why am I on the right?

Where on earth do you get that statistic from? Or rather, from which planet?

So. Deal. With. That. Reality.

So. Deal. With. That. Reality.

But you’ve offered no attempt at a alternative solution as to what else we can do other than ”get on with our lives”.

No one whatsoever expects it to just go away, so we are dealing with that reality.

I think a long term worry also has to be the effect on the medical community. Nurses and doctors can’t keep this up and the strain is building. Will people go
In to this profession?

Not to mention the back log of other treatments and checkups that will just get longer.

we are, we're carrying on and living with it. Do the same instead of trying to create an alternative society that isn't sustainable.

Erm…. We.Are. It’s the ones clamouring for another lockdown that aren’t. We can’t keep doing it indefinitely, we have to learn to live with it and accept they’ll be consequences and unfortunately deaths, just like we do with flu.

trying to create an alternative society that isn't sustainable.

Please post a link to where I've done that, or alternatively stop making shit up because you're scared by reality?

only people who are scared are those campaigning for more restrictions instead of getting on with it.

Like I said, you're making it up. The only reason I can see is that you're scared of what might be coming.

Alternatively, that link?

 

[roubaixtuesday]

Anyway, match time. Enough of this denial.

Worrying signs that govt is set to repeat the exact same mistake of this time last year, and hold on until it's too late.

Act now against Omicron to stop new Covid wave, UK ministers warned

Government privately being urged by advisers to tell people to work from home as UK cases of variant hit 134

what mistake? not taking away our freedoms quickly enough? It's the theme through most of your posts. The reality is, whatever lockdowns or other measures you want the government to do more quickly, Covid won't disappear and the minute we open up it will continue on its merry way, so you have to learn to live with reality.

None of this is relevant.

If the NHS can cope, tighter restrictions come in or you let loads of people die and hope it isn’t you, whether from covid or whatever treatment you can’t have because the hospitals are full.

 

[worsleyweb]

You just can't cope with the facts, so resort to bizarre insults.

what he says is completely true!!

it's the only thing that's really relevant, in pointing out someone's lying about not wanting more restrictions and to curb our freedoms.

People will die with restrictions, other people will die without them. I'm not going to pontificate about whose life is more valuable like those who want to lock us down.

no one is denying anything we just haven’t let it take over our lives!!

Can you let me know which freedoms are curbed? I haven't noticed any beyond losing the right to pop into the co-op without a mask.

what's next? that's the point, people still pining for it. Wearing a mask is a curb however trivial it is. Covid passports to fly are curbs however trivial you think it is. Locking people up around Europe because they're not vaccinated and forcing mandatory vaccination with a vaccine that barely lasts 3 months or we wouldn't need boosters and is untested against new variants, is a curb of freedoms no matter how trivial you think it is.
