Do you see that irish footballer who tested positive on Sunday, negative on Monday and positive Today?

Sound like a shit cover version of a Craig David song

You think the bubonic plague came from fleas on rats?

 

Gazillions of rats roaming the streets pissing and shitting all over the place and biting mother fuckers with no shoes on washing their trollies in a sess pit?  

Hardly the same as a quick nibble on a bat and the next thing the worlds caved in old boy :)

 

admittedly im thinking of the black death but the point still stands :D

Serious question.
So, I can go to Bolton and meet my nan in a park, but not in her back garden? 

If so, at the age of 97, isn't she more at risk getting to/being in the park?

When you put it like that, it just highlights how ridiculous some of these rules are.

I'm going to get her to sit in the front garden and I'll be on the street. I was just checking whether I'd got Bolton's rules right.

TBH that's probably as safe as going to the park for a walk, unless there's some sort of protest going on

I think the garden thing was more relevant in the summer, but they don't want people getting together for a BBQ and piss up which invariably ends up inside

Excellent piece 

The unintended consequences of locking down are poverty and many more deaths than Covid would drive without a lockdown 

I’d imagine that we are already past the point where the economic damage will kill more than we have saved 

Have a look at what Dr Nabarro has published, or listen to the whole interview and see how a message has been misinterpreted by people yet again - why don't people paint the whole picture I wonder? - instead we gate a soundbite from an interview and a headline on Twitter - "Important statement from WHO" "WHO backflips on lockdowns" with an unrelated photo - total misrepresentation.

I could just as easily quote from  Dr Nabarro with the headline "WHO warns about going for Herd Immunity" , "WHO says herd immunity will will lead to lots of deaths as well as debilitating long-Covid among younger people" and post a photo of someone dying on a covid ward.  

I know fuck all about Jason Kenney, but if you have a quick look at his twitter feed the overall gist is "the federal government of Canada are cocking up the oil and gas industry in with regulation and green economics" he's a poltician with an axe to grind.

Discredit it all you want, surely you agree that smashing the worlds economy causes millions upon millions of unnecessary deaths? 

The Guardian believes that 130k died in the U.K. over the last 5 years as our Healthcare budget only went up 10% rather than 20%. Let’s see how many unnecessary deaths they think some proper cuts will have, we may need to reduce the NHS budget by billions as the economy has collapsed. What do you think we are looking at? 300k, 400k or even 500k unnecessary deaths over the next 5 years? 

As a wealthy nation our losses down the line will be small compared to some of the poorer countries. That link above mentions the Caribbean Islands, these places rely on tourism to drive the economy, without that industry for 1 or even 2 years they are looking down the barrel at severe budget cuts that will lead to many more unnecessary deaths than what they are looking at from Covid 

It’s no conspiracy theory, a world economic crash like this leads to millions of deaths on the back of everyone (on the whole) becoming poorer. The global economy should come first, that’s what pays for the healthcare system that saves lives

im not discrediting wht Dr Nabarro said Birch, in the main I agree with almost everything hes' said - have you read what he's published? - do you think "WHO backflips on lockdowns" is an accurate portrayal of this ? or not?

I see Burnham now favours a short circuit closing everything down, yesterday moaning about closing bars in manchester, I’ll just ignore the tweezer eye brow twat from now on. Can’t we go back to mayors with chains just for show.

He's busy trying to protect his job.

Not alone in fairness, politicians of all persuasion trying to do popular/less 'bad thing rather than perhaps the right thing.

Just watched the Neill interview, very good 

Couldn't comment if ‘backflip on lockdowns’ is a fair representation as I don’t know what the initial advice from the WHO was, do you? 

He clearly states that the WHO don't believe in lockdowns. They would only advocate them in order to buy time to re group (you’d like to think we’ve had that with the 3 month lockdown in March)

He goes on to talk about the horrendous economic impact the restrictions are having across the world (Tourism in the Carribean islands etc) 

It’s clear that the restrictions on the economy will kill many millions over the coming years. Question is will you save more lives fighting Covid OR more protecting the Global Economy. He’s suggesting a middle road 

However if the middle road includes holidays to the Caribbean then you’d imagine a pub lunch is also viable

Middle road yep - I agree with it, and if the twitter feed said "WHO expert advocates a middle road approach", Id have no problem with it at all - I just hate Spin and deceit mate, I like people who are honest and open. Probably stems from my job, which basically is removing bullshit from marketing, I've been doing it for years so it's a touchy subject,  Marketing wankers. And also growing up in Newburgh I had to put up with Parbold knobheads a lot  - joking mate.

well, we certainly had the time, but fair to say it was not well spent

I think the WHO are saying you can't keep opening and shutting in order to beat the virus - and if so I agree, it's no good for anyone 

I'm still of the opinion that our best chance, short and long term, is a circuit breaker lockdown, and then use that time to hammer home the message of what you can and can't do when it reopens, and that it will  be a gradual approach to get back to things like gigs and football

and also spend that time looking at a way to throw whatever resources we have available to ensure a stricter adeherance that we did before

without that, I think both the economy and folks health are both going to take a battering for much longer than they need to

I don't think he's being hypocritical. I expect businesses would be better placed to cope with a short, time limited circuit break than having to manage lengthy, ongoing restrictions and having to close at 22:00.

This pandemic is getting to folk now. Gonzo has fallen down a conspiracy rabbit hole and Mounts head is going to explode due to our world beating test and trace.

Add proper Brexit in January and it can only get worse.

Be interesting to see if that is the case. We see loads saying they can't cope with lack of business. 

I suppose I would also depend upon the success of a firebreak and what level of restrictions they still have after.

That’s how I read it

But then that’s trying to be sensible rather than with a pre-determined political slant 🤷🏽‍♂️
 

I have just googled Newburgh & Parbold though. Never heard of either before, so learnt 2 new places today 😃

Think that depends whether he is successful of not. Not sure exactly how beneficial these metro mayors are. Perhaps spend the money on local public health set ups.

I’d spend the money on more lollipop people, much better use of money.
