Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

I can’t believe people think a Tory government would allow such a shit show to happen to the economy unless it was necessary.

Re: Coronavirus update

It isn’t a different point of view though. It’s the truth.

If you only isolate people with symptoms you’ve got a load of symptomless carriers out there spreading it. The symptoms take 2 weeks to show, some people only show mild symptoms. This will cause exponential growth of the disease. That’s a fact, it’s literally already happened.

Do you disagree with that?

I don't disagree.

UK government Covid-19 status remains the same today as when I posted this link https://www.gov.uk/guidance/high-con...us-of-covid-19 two days back.

Re: Coronavirus update

Do you know what high consequence means? It means the disease itself has to have a mortality rate of over a certain percent.

As said a 1000 times it isn’t the direct mortality rate with this that’s the issue. If you can’t see that after all this time I don’t know when you will.

By posting that link you aren’t being clever you’re ignoring the point of the whole thing.

Re: Coronavirus update

As well when people keep saying the death rate is only 0.1%, even though that’s not right let’s entertain it.

If we say it’s not really that contagious and we go about our normal life and only 25% (it’s a lot more contagious than that) of the U.K. gets it (~15 million).

We would still end up with 15,000 people dying. And that’s significantly underestimating how contagious and fatal it is.

Re: Coronavirus update

Oh, what crap.

I'm hardly alone, am I? I have the company of the President of the United States, Commander-in-Chief, leader of the free world (blah and more blah) articulating the same, which is the consequences of an economic and financial meltdown could prove to be more devastating than what Covid-19 might do.

He has scores of millions of heavily armed citizens to concern himself with and the prospect of a 30% unemployment rate in the months ahead.

Here in 2011 we saw how many predators are out there ready to loot even in the good ol' days.

Re: Coronavirus update

I was thinking ok, he's signing a document surrounded by lots of people with no social distancing, odd at the current time but not very funny.

Then the pens get handed out.

Re: Coronavirus update

Fine, you have a different point of view. I can accept that. You're fond of accusing others of intransigence while you keep insisting you're correct. It's both amusing and annoying because you're unwilling to contemplate you might be wrong.

From the very start of this you've smugly made claims as if you know what you're talking about. You've consistently been proven wrong, often spectacularly ("it's been designed only to affect Asians, wake me up when a non Asian dies" - current infection rate over the world 614,413) and yet you still pop up and smugly make claims like you know what you're talking about. THAT'S why people won't accept they're wrong when talking to you, because you talk utter, utter shite

And who the hell is interested in the fact he's lucky enough to have loads of money? What's that got to do with having your lungs ripped apart and drowning in blood and phlegm?

Re: Coronavirus update

I was reading recently about how we process information and make decisions. In essence, we often jump to uninformed, instinctive initial opinions and beliefs about something and then set about filtering-out and dismissing any information that contradicts this belief whilst gathering anything that appears to support it.

We don’t actually use reasoning a lot of the time we just invent arguments to support out intuitive beliefs. It’s due to the way our brains have evolved into areas that manage automatic and controlled thought processes, which are sometimes in conflict.

So it’s really just the way we are and we often don’t realise we’re doing it but it can be observed. It’s probably why you very rarely see people acknowledging they’ve shifted their views in these discussions and why we get so frustrated with others who just can’t see our own point of view. This isn’t just some people, we all have this tendency. So basically we’re wasting our time here
