    People who prefer the restricted things

    It was not a claim, it was a friggin’ insult - now how you about you actually debate the actual point of the post regarding the devastating effects of catching covid? You are the disingenuous one, playing distraction tactics. I’ve edited the original post to remove the insult. ‘To be happy’...

    People who prefer the restricted things

    For people who were hospitalised, the rate of neurological conditions is 82%! Being stuck indoors causes kidney failure, strokes, liver damage, heart palpatations, extreme fatigue, brain fog, diabetes? The first lockdown saw a great increase in people excercising - particularly walking...

    People who prefer the restricted things

    Comments like saying ‘[XYZ country] hasn’t built up enough immunity’ means not enough people have got infected for their liking. Or the regular attacks on Australia’s and New Zealand‘s strategies and taking great delight when an outbreak occurs. Suggestions that younger people needn’t get the...

    Isn't it funny you lot never consider the mental health impact of catching the disease and the fear of catching it? Aside from the fear of oneself catching it or one's loved ones getting it, driving huge levels of anxiety (now thankfully much reduced due to the vaccine rollout), it has long been...

    Media Coverage of COVID -19

    Good grief your Maths is absolutely crap! 141.225 million cases and 3 million deaths equals just over 2.1% case fatality rate, a factor of 100 greater than your figure. Lies indeed..!

    There are multiple strains of SARS_CoV_2 - the Kent strain, the South African strain, the Brazilian strain etc. A strain is a variant where the behaviour is altered - the Kent variant is more contagious, hence is a strain. The South African one has some ability to evade the immune response...

    Media Coverage of COVID -19

    No, not at all. Conditions like diabetes, asthma, kidney failure, hypertension when managed allow the individual to live a normal or near normal, healthy life - for decades in many, many cases. People are dying of covid in large numbers - there is no conspiracy to reclassify ‘normal’ deaths as...

    22nd February - Roadmap out of the pandemic, lifting of restrictions.

    You are exactly right. The Spanish variant (20A.EU1) first emerged in northeastern Spain in the summer, quickly spreading across the country and then across Europe through September and October. There have been hundreds of references to it across the newsmedia so for people here to say they’ve...

    No it doesn’t, lockdowns and human behaviour created the lull in most but not all northen countries in the summer. Again the outbreaks in Leicester, Oldham and Cataluna in June are not typical seasonal virus behaviour.
