COVID-19 — Coronavirus

i think there's valid ground to criticise dangerous conspiracies but there is still a very valid point about media hysteria and political gain from this.

Aren't you the prick who told someone on here suffering from cancer that you couldn't believe he was putting "poison" into his body referring to his chemotherapy?

Honestly, feel like that kind of thing should be a bannable offence tbh. Surprised its allowed to stand.

Scaremongering at its worst.
A virus is invisible
A Pandemic is not.
Turn off the tv for a day...look around .
Look for any evidence of a killer virus..ie folk dropping dead,fighting for breath,corpses lining the streets, etc etc ....

The power of the media.
Alongside..the Weakness of the human brain.
Get your Face Nappy on,and spread more fear anxiety and depression.

Your doing a marvellous job....for someone who "used" to work in the media.
Have you anything to say about City?

Given that I actually DID say something about City and the media in my post then maybe you should read the contents of what you attack first.

And I am not and never have been a journalist or worked for a newspaper. I have always worked for myself and have been seriously abused by the press more than once. So I need no lectures on what they can be like.

My post was about reporters who miss the story because they follow the steer nottheir own instincts. As I have made very clearover recent weeks in here (posts I suspect this writer never read - making my point) there is no right or wrong way to deal with a novel pandemic. We can only learn by experience and from one another.

So I have no issue with differing opinions. None of us is all right or all wrong on this. Its simpy not possible with sonething so new. But Iwill not respond to posts that attack and personalise as that's not why I post this data here. Because all I am doing is posting the data and it is up to everyone reading what they make of it.

Were I not collating the data for my own personal interest to steer what I do in my life I would likely have long since abandoned this thread. But I only will if requested to do so by more than one poster. Otherwise I will just move on past asI have long learnt that there are some things that you can never be right about in the eyes of others.

Crazy isn't it? A rival fan can sign up then mention oil money and is banned straightaway yet someone says that to a person going through cancer and is still here chatting tin foil hat shite. Mad.

Sounds positive. I am beginning to think that if the world unites then we will be able to start living our lives more normally within the next 12 months.

Yes. It's even improving in the US, Mexico and Brazil now the face coving message has started to get through to the majority of the population.

We will have to find an accommodation to live with this virus as even a vaccine likely will not entirely eradicate it now as it has become too widespread and vaccinating the planet is a long game.

The one big advantage of multiple political systems battling the same problem around the globe is tht we all get to see what works and what doesn't and as long as we learn the lessons of the mistakes that every nation is bound to make in such an unprecedented situation then we benefit.

As time moveson we will all get better at finding the way through by doing what works and not doing what doesn't.

There's criticism and then there's ignorance and stupudity.
For example it's now pretty much a proven fact that 70% of Covid-19 infections in enclosed spaces don't happen if folks wear "Face Nappies". Even Trump wears one when he's out and about for fucks sake, so the evidence must be obvious at a "Janet and John" level.

i happen to believe in power symbols and things like flags and architecture being symbols of control and power over the general populace (nazis, egyptians and so on, the shard), and this face mask issue falls neatly into that bracket, as a kind of psychological (and literal) 'muzzle'. However i personally don't believe that, and there are always gradations of folks who believe in certain things.

Masks do appear to slow transmission indoors (personally i dont see the point outdoors) and i'll happily follow those rules. Also, how much 'muzzling' and conforming to 'the man' are they actually doing? i mean you can happily plot and transpire in the pub, the cafe or your home should you wish. It's not like you stopped a bloke in Asda before masks to discuss the erosion of social mobility due to trade reforms or something.

finally, i think there are much greater worries to freedoms than masks, such as political instability fuelled by shady quangos and thinktanks, unelected powerful people, lobbying, free speech, corpocracies and the distraction of the internet/endless media. Anyway, that's enough.

'A Janet and John level' or as I like to say a bluemoon level...
