I wonder if in Sweden there has been 4500 more seasonal deaths than usual? I thought they’d suffer a lot more than they have considering no lockdown and it appears to be fading away like it has in all other countries who did implement one.Originally Posted by Croesy Blue
They are confirmed covid deaths.
On a completely different topic, I am seeing so many reports about "Tracers" complaining in the Media abut being paid to do nothing. There is another on the BBC Web Page this morning complaining of being paid to watch Netflix.
The solution for these people is simple. They can just quit. Hand in their notice then sit at home and watch Netflix for nothing. What's their problem?
There are more than enough people out there who would bite their hands off for the job, including all the student who normally supplement their grants by working in pubs, and including my boy who applied 2 weeks ago and hasn't even had acknowledgement of his application yet.
Where do you get these jobs? I wouldn’t mind doing a bit of track n trace
People who want something to do so that they actually earn their wage from the government are a problem?
Yes,. If they feel it is wrong they can, as I suggested, just resign, quit, walk out, stop doing it, desist, and then they can watch Netflix for nothing.
Then, as I said, the job can be given to people who are happy to be paid to sit and do nothing.
I don't even understand why the media report it except to stir the shite?
Don't you think it wrong that people are paid from our taxes to do nothing????Yes,

I'll remember that the next time you complain about Government's (usually Labour) wasting money.Yes,

Currently, my 3 neighbours are on furlough. They had a big bbq last night with about 8 visitors from different households. A couple stayed overnight. They have been offered the chance to return to work, both refuse, why work when you are getting 80% of your wages for nothing.
As a result of their garden party, I had 5 hours sleep before starting work at 8am. I'll be working until 5:30 pm - but getting paid until 1pm (25 hours a week - I am currently earning less than 80% of my wages). When this blows over, my taxes will probably rise to pay for some people (not all) to take the piss.
The Government, feeling extra generous, have now employed thousands of people to sit around and do nothing. I'm glad the media have brought it up, imagine if they only reported on stories that made the Government look good. That would certainly suit the confirmation biases that are on display by the resident loony who would be the first to say "you make these claims, but they are not reported anywhere".
Watch as he replies with a waving smiley - the resident Oscar Wilde.

To report that the Govt's test and trace system isn't running as well as they have advertised... I'd imagine.Yes,

Your vitriol is being aimed at the media and the people whistleblowing about what's happening instead of the Govt. responsible for what's happening... That's funny
Perhaps it is and there are no people for her to call? For me its just silly for anyone to complain for getting paid to do nothing. As I said, its too easy to resign and let someone else have the stress of doing nothing for money.To report that the Govt's test and trace system isn't running as well as they have advertised...

Whether the ssytem is working or not wasn't my point, the point was the woman complaining about getting paid for nothing. What really made me smile was that the article said she had only spoken on condition that she remained anonymous. i wonder why? Perhaps it was for fear of losing the great job she has?
Oh, xsnaggle. Please never changePerhaps it is and there are no people for her to call? For me its just silly for anyone to complain for getting paid to do nothing. As I said, its too easy to resign and let someone else have the stress of doing nothing for money.

No intention of. I haven't had a good keyboard warrior argument on here for days!Oh, xsnaggle. Please never change
It breaks up the boredom of sitting here, and I'm not even getting paid by the government to sit her like she is.
Think I may have just managed to start one on another thread lolNo intention of. I haven't had a good keyboard warrior argument on here for days!

Ah, so you come here to troll for arguments to liven up your boring existence. Glad I have that in writing.No intention of. I haven't had a good keyboard warrior argument on here for days!

After a fashion.
Sorry TBG, I missed you post earlier.
Yes that is wrong, but it wasn't that I was I was commenting on, it was the woman complaining for getting paid to watch Netflix. As I said the solution to her dilemma is obvious. just resign from her job and sit and watch it whilst not getting paid.
The deeper question of them doing nothing is dependent on whether they are doing nothing because they system is not working or they are doing nothing because the system is working but there is not a huge amount of tracing to do.
The BBC report made no effort to explain which point was correct or offer and 'evidence' for one or the other. They just chose to leave the reader with the impression that the woman doing nothing was the government's fault but didn't explain why.
Didn’t one of the professor blokes say the other night that there isn’t a huge amount of tracing to do at the moment for various reasons?
Did he state that most cases are only happening in places they know about like care homes and hospitals? I can’t quite recall.
Getting paid to do nowt eh? Yet we Brits love a moan don’t we.....
Isn’t it a good attitude to complain that they’re getting paid tax payer’s money to do nothing?
Maybe, but it would be a far stronger message to say, "I've resigned because I was doing nothing and I don't want to waste the tax-payers money". In reality this woman is complaining but insist on remaining anonymous, and that makes me ask why? Is it because she doesn't want to lose the cushy job she is complaining about?
But again, the point is that the BBC offers up the article and leaves the reader with the impression that it is bad, but it may be that there are no calls to make because everything else is running OK. Its a bit like the nightingale Hospitals, they are not being used, so is that good thing or an outrageous waste of the tax-payers money?
