StandFree1982 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 25 minutes ago, daytripping said: More evidence of the virus only targeting those already really ill. When the numbers are stripped back questions really must be asked why healthy people hid from it and wrecked the economy in the process, the leadership must face enquiries and prosecution if they have blood on their hands. http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/quarter-of-covid-victims-in-england-and-wales-have-dementia-–-study/ar-BB18ztia?ocid=ientp Because we were told it is deadly and can kill people who are healthy. Data would suggest that it's extremely unlikely to though. The problem nowadays is that because we're in this blame culture and everyone is suing everyone about the smallest thing, even the tiniest of risks to healthy people is being treated as "too risky". You might hear about a few cases of a young person without any underlying issues getting Covid and dying, and it gets blown across the internet like it's something far deadlier to healthy people. We could have shielded the most vulnerable and kept everyone at work and carried on. But the problem is that we can't trust the "healthy" people to not go and spread it to the vulnerable. Plus, it's not really that "fair" to expect someone with Asthma, for example, to lockdown for 5 months while the rest of the world goes out and about, although it is them that's going to suffer if they do...so...at their own risk!

daytripping Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Yeah agree, the daily scare briefing being a prime example of the scare culture that has been allowed to grow. Boris stopped discussing it in detail every day Months ago and they're getting on better than us. We have to put up with a scattergun approach, lock down Aberdeen in a whim yet keep other places open with no reasoning behind it. She doesn't have a clue. 1 Link to comment

It's health board numbers, nothing to do with politics. 12-16 weeks on pain medication opposed to years being spoon fed and arse wiped not knowing the day of the week or those closest to me, I'd take that.

daytripping Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Minijc, Have you tried googling how many men die of prostate cancer every day in the UK? Might just stop you being so scared of this bug and give you a new more deadly disease to focus on. It's killing 16 times more people than Covid in the UK every day, that's just one type of cancer. Do you now see why the majority of us see it as a shamdemic? Later on today we'll see one of the reasons why the snp are pushing the fear, be prepared for an all new health system that we'll pay through the nose for, this isn't about a flu. Link to comment

HAHAHAHA as opposed to every single health service being sold off to privatisation by the tories? Last I checked cancer doesn't pass from person to person but corona virus does and it has a huge impact on people with underlying issues, it's hilarious that you think it's good that it helped kill off some people so they didn't have to suffer through the illness they already had but now you're really concerned for those with cancer, so what is it, is it actually killing people before their time or it all one big 'shamdemic' you need to make your mind up. Also I'm not actually that scared, it's just that I've read up on the virus and the impact it can have on peoples health, my parents are in their 60s, one has issues that combined with the virus could easily be the end of him. Myself I'm not in the greatest of shapes so I'd rather avoid getting it as I don't want to roll the dice especially when they still don't know what awful lasting effects it can have on the body/mind. 1 1 Link to comment
thedandydon Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 That’s just it, a lot of folk are frozen with fear regards COVID, getting themselves worked up over numbers that keep getting churned out by the MSM that stokes peoples anxieties because there’s never any context to them. So number of cases are going up, but very few are needing treatment now. This seems to be largely down to increased testing including random community testing which is probably picking up more asymptomatic folk who don’t even realise they have it. All this proves is that it was likely more widespread to begin with. Oh but its largely younger people getting it now and can fight it off easier... Maybe, but surely these younger folk would still be passing it on to their elder relatives and we’d be seeing a surge in admissions and deaths? Be nice to see these cases broken down to see where the trends are. COVID’s now way down the list in terms of deadly illnesses so why are we still persisting with this daily drama when there’s literally dozens more worse diseases and illnesses to be concerned about. 6 Link to comment

daytripping Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 4 minutes ago, rocket_scientist said: This was the biggest failing. They emptied the hospitals of the elderly, some of whom were seriously ill. They were expecting a Covid rush that might exceed capacity and it never came (I'm talking only Grampian NHS here). They were refusing to take the elderly into hospital from both their own homes and care homes, except for absolute emergencies. I don't think that we can blame Sturgeon however. She was only following a national strategy, imposed by Westminster following "the science", advice given by SAGE, a committee that included Cummings, the son-in-law of a known eugenicist. The building of the hospital at the SECC was also a Westminster-imposed requirement. I find it tragic that some seek to argue that Blowjob done it better than Nicola. Our devolved government never had true autonomy on the biggest issues, the global pandemic (and defence) being too big for our wee country to handle. Rubbish, she's went out of her way to do it her way, that's why we were locked down far longer than England. Every step she did it her way, including putting old people to their deaths. 1 Link to comment
