Coronavirus (2021) thread

You can't just throw money at the health sector. You need special educated health workers, stuff for treatment and working crisis mechanisms in the administration and politics. Those need time and expertise and then of course money.

As good as that would be, if people would act responsible. But a scary big part of society decoupled themselves from rationality and responsibility, thus legal mandates are needed.

Not a particularly persuasive argument when the vaccinated can catch and spread covid and many of the health care workers have natural immunity from previously having covid. It could also be that losing ten of thousands of highly trained professionals will ultimately be much more dangerous to public health than retaining their services and introducing a daily testing regime instead.

What a load of antivax rubbish.
50% less likely to spread it iwith 2 jabs is enourmous difference. 10 times less likely to get it 8 weeks after the 3rd jab as well.

never been this bad
ache all over
Can barely walk about
Head is pounding
Non stop running nose
And dry cough
Its endless

Terrible poem. Doesn't even rhyme

very few people die of covid19,

Yeah, just 1,000 a week or so at the moment. Fuck 'em, and the many more seriously ill. I mean, who gives a shit about death and suffering?

Cheers. I'm sure the extra anti bodies will come in handy.

Really think if you are unvaccinated and end up in hospital with covid, you should be charged for treatment.

You already are if you work, do you think there health service is free? What about those that smoke but claim benefits? Just flat out refuse them?

Playing devils advocate as of course help should be provided. But it’s an interesting debate point. Yes the nhs is paid for already by tax and NI and help should be granted obviously. But the NHS has already provided a fix to the problem in the shape of a vaccine. If you refuse the help being offered should alternative help be offered? There are plenty of cases where alternatives are not offered.
