Re: Coronavirus
I wear a mask mainly because my husband has small cell lung cancer. He’s currently free from it but there’s a chance it can recur. I am protecting him and I intend carrying on wearing a mask for some considerable time. As he’s had to self isolate for some length of time in the last 18/20 months I intend making sure that he’s still safe from me hopefully infecting him.

Same goes for the idiot anti vaxers who get their scientific info from facetwatter, and try and force others to 'think' like they do. If it was all part of natural selection then fair enough, but it affects others, overwhelms the NHS and stops other getting vital treatment.

It's nice that you have found a group of people to hate, keep us informed when you work out a final solution.

That escalated quickly…

Re: Coronavirus
Well our insurance company wanted all of our company staff tested for covid and the results are in 80% of us tested positive (I tested positive last Christmas as well keeping the tradition going) and despite this only one person has taken time off or even gone to see a gp. All our family members are alive and well (no dead granny's) and our social circles haven't been decimated I'm just shocked because according to some we should have left at least the odd victim behind us.
There is no need for the amount of fear mongering that is rampant and even now when they are saying the symptoms of omicron are the same as a cold there's no end to the fear. On the big tech are a bunch of gits front you can now lose your Twitter account if you state or repeat that vaccinated people can contract covid and spread it despite that being medically true, no doubt it will be called misinformation joining the reams of other things big tech decides we don't need to know and shouldn't be allowed to say.

You put Mr K in quotation marks but he never said that………it may have been his sentiment but don’t put it in quote marks.
Btw, top night tonight. Not a face mask in sight. You should complain to the Piece Hall, Halifax, if you’re upset about it

Re: Coronavirus
Spin?
I’m not the one who said "final solution"…
Google "final solution", and this is what you get…
Pleased for you that you had a good night out.

Re: Coronavirus
From Channel 4 News, a great clip from Chris Whitty tackling the question if we are prioritising Covid over treating other conditions like cancer. Short answer no, that's an inversion of reality. Watch the video here.
Quote:
Dean Russell, MP: One of the other comments that I've heard is that people are concerned we're prioritising Covid over other things especially with the Omicron variant. You know, Covid over cancer, Covid over other serious issues. What would you say to that?
Professor Chris Whitty: Yeah, I think this is sometimes said by people who have no understanding of health at all, but I don't think it's said by anyone's who's serious, if I'm honest. And when they say that, it's usually because they want to make a political point.
The reality is if you ask any doctor, working in any part of the system, they will say this: that what is threatening our ability to do cancer, what is threatening our ability to do all of these things, is the fact that so much of the NHS effort, so many of the beds, are having to be put over to Covid, and that we're having to work in a less efficient way because Covid is there.
Finding a way to manage Covid in a way that it minimises the impact on everything else is absolutely central to what we're trying to do. And you know, in a sense, I completely agree there are multiple other things in addition to Covid. But if we don't crack Covid at the points when we've got big waves as we have now, we do huge damage elsewhere.
And the idea that lockdowns cause the problem with things like cancer is a complete inversion of reality. If we had not had the lockdowns, the whole system would have been in deep, deep trouble and the impact on things like heart attacks and strokes and all the other things people must still come forward for when they had them would have been worse than it was.
So I do want to through all of you to make absolutely clear that it's an inversion of reality.

Anti- vaxers are block-booking appointments at mass vaccination centres, it has emerged, in an apparent attempt to prevent others receiving the life-saving jab.
The tactic has reportedly been used before at other sites, but it is understood some slots were booked out at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

I'm genuinely confused about what motivates these morons.
Probably religious nutters who are bored have nothing better to do than bully others to thinking their way. Must get a power kick out of it. They're well practiced.
