Coronavirus (2022) thread

These virtue signallers are under mass hypnosis but refuse to accept it. They think they’re “good people” because they do what they’re told.

"Resistance GB"?

Sounds like a reliable bunch to base your opinions on, and most definitely not a rentamob bunch of friutloops.

You have had a tendency to go down random rabbit holes over the past few years though. I suspect this will be another one you will say you shouldn’t have jumped down in a year or so.

I don’t see it that way at all.

Look at our waiting lists now due in no small part to lockdown.

Kids have never been at a high risk from covid yet we have severely affected their education the last few years so the question has to be asked, why and was it worth it?

Wen we see the deaths from cancers that should and could have been picked up, there will be an outrage and rightly so.

People can try and hide away from these facts but it won’t stop the reality of what will emerge imo.

That’s ok, you may well in a year or so, like the other instances.

Schools were the breeding ground for Covid germs. It was impossible for them not to be impacted, especially when we were evaluating how much of a global killer Covid was going to be.

Will we see deaths from cancers increase markedly? Who knows? You think yes. I don’t know.

There will be lots of inquiries into how Covid was dealt with. Mistakes have of course been made. If it happened again soon, we have lots of information to make better decisions with.

hiding their heads in the sand is the easy thing to do mate, its clear that lockdowns have caused more harm than good and over the next couple of years we will find out the damage they have caused

They’ll be dwarfed by Brexit issues, don’t worry.

I have a fair bit of contact with parents, teachers and school children, plus my son and his girlfriend are teachers. There are a few issues due to missed schooling for some that didn’t get the support at a home or lacked internet access. However none of them have ever said masks have caused any issues whatsoever.
Most will catch up and will have no hangover from the 2 covid years . A few of the older ones will lack exam taking experience but if efforts are made to help them and make sure none fall through any catch up cracks they’ll be fine.
Not closing schools in the first and probably the second lockdowns wasn’t ever a sensible option. To compare it to child abuse is just ridiculous.

Not to mention the decades of debt we’ve saddled them with. Thing is, most on here don’t actually give a fuck mate. Middle class working from home wankers most of them. Everyone work from home except the people I need to do stuff, obviously. Delivery driver, supermarket worker, NHS worker, policeman? Get to work. Me, I’ll sit here and order home deliveries every week and complain that everyone I don’t agree with is a conspiracy nut job, an anti vaxxer, a covid denier or a science denier. As for the kids? Bollox to them.

Yeah, my wife is a governor of 3 schools, 2 primary and one secondary. They’ve all had issues, but nothing as bad as people are fearing on here.

The biggest shock to schools will be exam results this year after 2 years of their teachers being overly generous with gradings.

I’m with @The Light Was Yellow Sir @hgblue and others is saying what we have done to our kids the last few years will not go down well in our history.

Untold damage done to them as well as millions of others whose stories will come out as the numbers of cancer deaths emerge due to lockdowns and the impacts they had etc.

The Christie had to stop surgery during the pandemic because they were short of staff at one point. Just imagine how many more staff they would have lost if unfettered access to the corona virus was inflicted on the population by not controlling the public's activities.

We only had one proper lockdown, the first one.If you dont think that one prevented hospitals shutting their doors and thousands of deaths covid and none covid then discussing other restrictions is a non starter.
