Coronavirus (2022) thread

[He’stheleftbackremember]

Tested again today, day 12, still positive but line now very faint and takes longer to appear, initially the line appeared virtually immediately and was very strong. So must relate to how much “stuff” you have going on in nose and throat would be my guess.

First time in 13 days that I have done a negative LFT. I can see my pregnant daughter now, she’s being really cautious.

"Virus man made in a lab" is a wacky conspiracy theory but a natural virus escaping from a lab is a very real possibility IMO.

Inadvertent release from a lab is certainly possible.

Most scientific opinion seems to be that it's considerably less likely than transmission from animals.

I suspect we will never know; the Chinese state would never allow any kind of genuinely open investigation into this sort of issue. And just because they're a secretive authoritarian dictatorship doesn't mean they leaked the virus. They'd be that way regardless.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Who told them that ? As far as I know they were told wearing masks helps stop them spreading covid, same as the rest of us. Nobody accused me or anyone I know or any children they were granny killers. Only sataggering if you mis represent what children were told.
As I said earlier have you actually spoken to any children and asked them or are you just making assumptions that match your veiws.

I must have made it up.

Yes ,because that was directed at young school children. Children well known for reading the Times, Sky new Reuters. It isn't what they were told by their parents and teachers. The people they actually listen to. You still haven't said whether any children have told you they are mentally scarred by bing asked to wear a mask. Because I haven't met a child, a parent or a teacher that has.
The children are fine, its adults trying to invent issues for them thats the problem.

 

[Gremlin]

It's over.

I want to know when Tesco are going to open all their entrances again. Really pisses me off.

It's not 'over' but we are in the phase of understanding how to live with it with, hopefully, minimal impact on our lives. If the biggest problem in your life is the number of entrances at Tesco then you're doing quite well.

Agreed. I personally believe children are resilient and will not suffer long term consequences. Many of our parents had much more disruption to their education due to the war and somehow managed to cope.

Good stuff. I'm on day 7 (I think) and still have a really strong line on the LFT. Fed up now. At least at the start of the week I could mentally justify being off work and isolating as I had symptoms. Now I have none and am still locked away.

I think the children most affected are the older children those of exam taking ages and in their last school years that missed the exam taking experience, though some will have benifited from that, and the social aspects. Students too missing out on graduations and the social side of student life. The young primary aged children will just take it in their stride.

stop digging and admit you were wrong. You said nobody told you, anyone you know or children that they were granny killers.

you have been posted links to show they were . Acknowledge you were wrong .

whether that had an impact on children’s lives , mental health or otherwise is a different debate but people were told that As can be shown from the links .

 

[Erik the viking]

Nah, we didn't need that one mate - after all, deaths only hit 1800 per day at one stage back then!

the lockdown must have worked wonders then! only 1800 a day! botched figures too not covid only deaths.

Okay I'll acknowledge, there are some daft quotes from people out there That I wasn't aware of, I still don't think most children know of them any more than I did, the fact is there were accusations of masks damaging children and it being likened to child abuse, accusations that children were told they were killing their grannies. It is nonsense and bollocks being used to justify some adults own predjudices., not based on reality.

Yep, my youngest was in his second year at uni when it started so he missed a good chunk of that year. His third year was mostly online but he'd already signed up for accommodation there so spent half his time at home and the other half at the rented property with his mates. The pubs were all shut so I think he spent most of his time playing darts. If he was a year or two younger it would have been a lot worse because at least he got his first year in when you meet people and make friends. Students who are 19 or 20 now have probably had the hardest time of it because their A levels and first year at uni would have been screwed.

You said you agreed with lockdowns before vaccination, this was a lockdown before vaccination, So I assume you agreed with it.

any harm to children is child abuse which includes forced mask wearing.

Those figures were before the effect of the lockdown kicked in. Anyone with half a fucking brain cell can see what effect Lockdowns 1 & 2 had in hugely driving case numbers and deaths down, and anyone who claims that they didn't do that is either a thick **** or a lying bastard. Or both.

i only agreed with the first one ! only time will tell if they were right or wrong but the signs dont look to good as lockdown caused deaths are mounting up. best just wait and see.

well you keep burying your head in the sand thicko! just ignore the untreated deaths such as cancer heart disease not to mention suicides because of lockdown! now who is the selfish thick bastard?

 

[blueparrot]

There was no harm, that's the point you are missing. Now stop trivialising child abuse.

 

[M18CTID]

well you keep burying your head in the sand thicko! just ignore the untreated deaths such as cancer heart disease not to mention suicides because of lockdown! now who is the selfish thick bastard?

So what are you saying? That lockdowns have inadvertently caused more non-Covid deaths than the number of lives they were designed to save? Is that what you're claiming? Because if it is, I'd like to see some links that prove your point. I've a funny feeling that I'll be waiting a fucking long time.

 

[blueparrot]

So why the first not the second. They were both pre vaccine, they were both to protect hospitals. What was the difference.
