Coronavirus (2021) thread

Those videos from Dr John Campbell have been brilliant so far and well ahead of the curve. He is an expert in public health and has a global following. I met him some years ago through my work. I would trust him 100 per cent. So far his information has been totally reliable (certainly moreso than what has been put by our government)

Well, if that video shows that ivermectin, as claimed, is "proven" to be effective, there will be science behind it.

I shall await that.

I can fully understand why those considered high risk, and the elderly. will want the vaccination ASAP.

My own personal concern is the long term safety of the vaccines. And has been from day one

I suffer with Psoriasis which is an auto immune condition ,and have many allergies. Fuck knows how my body will react to the vaccination immediately, and long term. It is a real concern.

I lost a son to Cot death after his first injection.

I am so, so sorry to hear of your loss.

To be fair he always provides the science. His videos are really worth a watch and apolitical.

schools

when schools first went back we were told each year would be in a bubble, each class would be in a bubble, which i guess on paper works. Every one must wear a face mask on trains, bus etc, sounds ok on paper.

Than stand outside the train station when the kids are getting off, i would say about 60 to 70 i saw every day. All different age groups, walking from the train station to school through the town. One long line of school kids taking up the whole width of the pavement, no metre gaps just a long line of about 50 metres, of kids.

Whats the point of schools having bubbles when the kids just walk down from the train station in one big mixed group of 60 or more at a time ? My simple brain cant understand how anyone thinks this is going to work. I dont know if the school were telling kids NOT to do that, if the school was it was just ignored. Within weeks Thanet went to being one of the worst places in the country for covid, now Thanet has improved and rates have dropped abit. Why ? Kids are of ! watch it jump again once we get the kids back.

I get the bus to work when the weather’s bad.

I started getting up an hour earlier in order to get to the station when it was quiet and to get a quieter bus because I got sick of the school kids packing the station out, none wearing masks, all different ages and even different schools, clearly not taking any notice of school/year bubbles, and also taking their masks off when seated on the bus.

A woman asked them to put their masks on and they started having a go at her. I piped up having a go at them and they all got up and went downstairs. But that just moved the problem downstairs and won’t have changed their attitude of thinking “it’s a hoax” like they said to the woman.

It’ll be a minority, as always, but just shows the attitude of the idiot adults in society doesn’t half rub off on kids.

sadly the nick name for the school buses is 'the covid bus' feel for the drivers

Interesting stuff.

You really can ramp up the Vit D huge amounts to 100 ug (or 2000 NRV) if you are at major risk then 200 ug (or 4000 NRV) units a day on the first sign of any illness. Rare problems only start to appear at 300 ug (or 5000 NRV).
I really don't understand why newly ill people can't register with their GP and get a daily visit from a nurse to check their oxygenation levels like they do in Germany. This was introduced a few years back to reduce Sepsis in older folks the community. If they doled out monoclonal antibodies then they'd stop another 10% from getting hospital sick too.

If Jason Leitch in Scotland is correct, and the Christmas get together figures take 10 days to come through, then the next couple of days could be quite jarring. IF people then came to their senses, then that should show toward the end of this week. Big IF.

If that's the case, it will be no bother to provide the reference that shows, as claimed, ivermectin is "proven" to be effective.

I wait.

15.2% positive from 17328 tests. Not good :-(
