Coronavirus (2021) thread

We just need to fuck all these restrictions off and learn to accept the fact that it’s a very mild illness for the overwhelming majority of people.

Sorry but if, after a year of vaccines being freely available you’re still not jabbed and you get seriously ill…well you’re a fucking moron.

If the NHS gets “overwhelmed” then the solution is simple. You just tell unvaccinated people to fuck off and die at home.

Sounds harsh but so what. Arsed.

What restrictions have you been living with in the last few months? It's a lack of restrictions that has got the UK in an absolute mess.

At The Etihad now to get my booster and it's packed. Which is a good thing

And open through the night? https://www.manchestereveningnews.c...news/all-night-booster-etihad-clinic-22490127

Might suit a number of people. Appointment only it seems. Some advantages to that.

This. If we had spent the last 2 years locked away in our homes and only venturing out in gas masks to forage for food think about how much of a better place we would all be in right now?

Roll on another lockdown I say.

Sage predicting 3000 hospital admissions a day. A little bit down on their best case autumn scenario of 2000 to 7000 a day which never materilised I see.

They’ve fuck all credibility at this stage in terms of the “best case” scenarios always been much much worse than what happens in the real world.

Crackers, isn’t it? Zero restrictions since July.

Daily cases hit record numbers.

“These restrictions aren’t working.”

What restrictions?

I heard an advert on the radio this morning to push people for the booster and in my non-expert medical or advertising opinion, I think they are giving the wrong message.

They were saying 2 jabs isn't enough to protect against omicron.
They should be saying the effect of the two jabs is beginning to ware off and you need to top up.

I disagree. If it takes the negative spin to get people jabbed, I'd prefer that

That’s not true bud. No one knows at this stage if it’s a “mess” or a blessing that burns through fast and speeds up the end of the pandemic (As appears to be the case so far in SA).

You’re doing that sarcasm thing aren’t you.

If we let the virus go with as minimal restrictions as possible, like we are doing then surely the quicker it will mutate to become less severe as they do. Then the sooner this will be over. Spanish flu lasted three years. Sure it was different times with very limited international travel and no vaccine, but it did mutate and we did become imune to it?
