Covid Rules Collapsing

Re: Covid Rules Collapsing

the 3rd post is political , but yes the early posts were a discussion without the political interference ( though it was always going to happen )

my occasional posts about " blaming Boris " are purely a bit of a joke, lighthearted humour, nothing more, nothing less

Political in what sense? My post was certainly not party political. It's an observation based on being able to see the stark staring obvious. Backbench rebellion brewing, announce something they like, backbench rebellion subsides.

How exactly do you discuss something that is decided in number 10 without there being a mention of politics?

Definition of HCID : typically has a high case-fatality rate if its down graded then it isn't bollocks, life need s to move on and quickly.

Did you actually read any of the discussion on why two years ago Covid was downgraded from an HCID before offering up this staggering insight?

Probably because for the vast majority of the population the symptoms are mild to moderate as per Sir Chris Whiity ?

The "vast majority of the population" should think "there but for the Grace of God go I" and take more care of those more vulnerable.

You do realize China managed to effectively eradicate the virus with extremely strict lockdowns?

they still completely lock down cities of millions when cases start to rise, recently Baise with 4 million people only had only 135 cases with 2 cases being Omicron ( if you believe what they say ) and they completely locked down hard

Re: Covid Rules Collapsing

Been thinking of this thread today, I Worked most of the day in a garden centre, Now you dont have to wear face masks inside now, its not law and entirely up to you, I took notice of the people wearing them, I bet 70 % wore face masks, the majority of the 30% of maskless were over the age of 60 , occasionally I saw a youngster to wearing one, but most did

Now we ( in England ) are 3 weeks in from plan B being scrapped and you no longer need to wear a mask, yet people make the decision ( being responsible ) to still wear them, so maybe people can be trusted to do the right thing after all

I wouldn’t be surprised if they implemented extra restrictions once again when winter comes. I see Drakeford and Prince Charles are positive …….

it wasn't a dig at you, your post might not have been party political, but it was still political and was always going to get the " CCMB Political mob " going

This comment undermines so much of what you say on here. If you don't get the difference between NZ and the UK than god help you...and ur one of the ones who argues for unrestricted borders.

I know Americans don't get irony, but still...

The argument is about whether Covid mitigations have any effect. It has nothing to do with borders.

The difference between the UK and NZ on Covid is that NZ's mitigation measures have been extreme but very effective.

Re: Covid Rules Collapsing

Are new Zealand deaths from covid, and are the UK deaths with covid? As they as being entirely different.
