Slow news day, or end of the world?

”Aggressive” new variant has landed in Moscow. Makes people, even those that have been vaccinated, more poorly than previous types.

Time for Uncle Joe to push the button? Short term pain.

An American tourist goes on a trip to China. While in China, he is very sexually promiscuous and does not use a condom all the time. 

A week after arriving back home in the States, he wakes one morning to find his penis covered with bright green and purple spots. Horrified, he immediately goes to see a doctor. 

The doctor, never having seen anything like this before, orders some tests and tells the man to return in two days for the results. The man returns a couple of days later and the doctor 

says: "I've got bad news for you - you've contracted Mongolian VD. It's very rare and almost unheard of here. We know very little about it". 

The man looks a little perplexed and says: "Well, give me a shot or something and fix me up, doc". 

The doctor answers: "I'm sorry, there's no known cure. We're going to have to amputate your penis". 

The man screams in horror, "Absolutely not! I want a second opinion". The doctor replies: "Well, it's your choice. Go ahead if you want, but surgery is your only choice". 

The next day, the man seeks out a Chinese doctor, figuring that he'll know more about the disease. The Chinese doctor examines his penis and proclaims: "Ah, yes, Mongolian VD. Vely lare disease". 

The guy says to the doctor: "Yeah, yeah, I already know that, but what can we do? My American doctor wants to operate and amputate my penis!"

The Chinese doctor shakes his head and laughs: "Stupid Amelican docta, always want to opelate. Make more money that way. No need to opelate!" 

"Oh, Thank God!", the man replies. 

"Yes", says the Chinese doctor, "You no worry! Wait two weeks. Dick fall off by itself! You save money"

I’d like to see what the advise from the Chief medical officer was, I’d think he’d of not approved that decision, if Hancock has flagrantly acted against any advice then he’s in big trouble…. Could it of been a cabinet decision which could implicate all of them. 

I suppose it depends how pissed they all were when they were deciding what to do #MoveOn

Just like  the covid related ppe contracts that the courts have deemed unlawful fuck all will happen.

As shit as it in isolation, they'd have all got it anyway. 

Nothing was stopping it.

But the government are there to protect us.

Yes it was a mad time, but knowingly sending 10,000 crumblies to an almost certain death just isn't cricket.

Oh aye not downplaying their role and negligence in any way mate.

Just heard some lass saying they took her Dad away and all that caper. He'd have got it anyway living in a care home at some point. There was nothing stopping it.

This decision is up there with allowing the Cheltenham festival to take place as well as full football grounds Just as the shit was hitting the fan.

This issue is much more serious than anything else we’ve seen during Covid, 20k more deaths in care homes than in the previous year that were directly attributed to Covid, anyone with even half a brain wouldn’t send patients back to care homes without first testing them. Heads must roll and Labour should be all over this.

Don’t forget that Bozo tried to blame the high deaths on care home managers not following guidelines. They are just a set of twats. 

Yeah but they’re helping poor people who don’t drive by reducing MOT’s to every 2 years.

No doubt the cost of a bi annual Mot’s will double in price and cars will need twice the amount of work.

Nothing to see here.

It's a stupid idea by one of the most stupid MPs ever to grace a government cabinet.

This is the level we are now at, well into a cost of living crisis and now they are brainstorming such shite. Add in Mogg asking Sun readers to help him out because he doesn't know he benefits of something he campaigned for and folk still defend this shower.

If you averaged an MOT as a monthly cost then it’s only about £3 a month isn’t it?

It was standard practice to discharge old folk with infections to care homes to convalesce. At the time, as I've said several times on here, Nadra Ahmed of the national care association said it was the norm as they were trained in infection control, and it helped to clear beds.

Subsequently, she's expressed her anger at what happened because of the lack of knowledge and preparedness that care homes were afforded. Obviously PPE shortages initially, but not understanding and being able to deal with such a novel, illness.

Early on in this, Whitty confirmed his (and wider) mistake in that they didn't think it would be transmitted asymptomatically, which it was which clearly impacted the ability of the care industry to deal with it. This I would imagine will form the basis of many arguments.

Plenty of hindsight stuff here, and I don't see anyone being "done".

Once reviewed, the government may choose to challenge the decision, or accept its findings and use then to form further procedure. 

Folk once again confusing breaking the law with something unlawful. 

We'll see in good time.

We will see indeed.

At the time of mid March asymptomatic cases were known by Sage but worse still, covid patients were being returned from hospital with Covid back to their care homes at that time and even into April.

When's the public enquiry again?

We will see

Everyone said that about the parties.

We saw that he broke the law

Weirdly, it hasn’t made a fucking atom of difference.

I think you are right patients already with Covid symptoms were returned to care homes it wasn’t just asymptomatic folk. I agree there should be an enquiry. 

Edited April 27, 20224 yr by Mounts Kipper

Even if an enquiry finds that Hancock issued a written instruction that all pensioners  were to be kicked back to their care homes and fed a steady diet of Covid 19 and dog dirt, I suspect Boris saying sorry will be enough.
