This is why I’m so wary about everything we’re told by politicians...
It’s not a Tory flaw it’s sadly something they’re all guilty of Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

“20,000 deaths is a good result”

You can't 'both sides' this when the Tories have been in control for the past decade. Any failings by the government are tory failings. I've had it officially with 'both sides' bull****.

Some horrific downplaying early in this thread. Weird reading it back after the time passed and what has happened in between.

Has anyone heard how many cases of the SA variant we have in the uk ?
We were initially told there were just TWO unconnected cases but I’ve heard nothing since .. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Last edited by Zizu; 13-01-2021 at 05:58 PM. |

I mean the only other possibilities are that Covid is the big one, the humanity ender. (it isn't) OR that it will be eliminated entirely with vaccination (and I'm sorry guys but... It simply won't). |

The death total has become obscene and a scandal.
From in part the reckless and dangerous decisions and procrastination of the government, when it's deliberately chosen to disregard health and science advice. Also on its preparing, or more like it not preparing for how to deal with this pandemic. However it was the health and science who originally stated 20,000 would be a good result. Not the government, they just went with that view from them. Although how anyone, government, health or science so called expert or layperson. Could ever term in any context, 20,000 deaths and the grief and devastation that brings to at least hundreds of thousands of families and friends of those lost loved ones, as a good result is disgraceful.

I don't really comment on Covid anymore on here because I realised I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to viruses - none of us really do.

True, unless we are virologists who have actually studied the science, what we need to do is social distance, wear masks, limit social interactions and wash our hands but instead we have a whole new cohort of people who suddenly know what to do better than scientists

You shouldn't disagree with scientific concensus but I fundamentally disagree that you should just shrug your shoulders and yield to others instead of educating yourself on a topic... What a grim reality .

Why do you even have a serious debates section if you so strongly believe that we should all know our place, tip our caps and accept status quo without examination? odd.
I agree that DECISIONS should be left to people with expertise, but discussion is just that - discussion. |

Decisions should be left to those who have been elected to make them, experts inform those people with all the best facts available.

Just because someone has a personal opinion on a single subject doesnt mean they think everyone should have that projected on to them about every topic possible, no one mentioned having a problem with serious debates/discussion :/ |

In terms of it being a personal stance - which I could have accepted - "because I don't really know what I'm talking about" is a personal reflection, but it ceases to be one and becomes a broad statement with clear implications when "none of us do" is added to the end. "There's plenty of armchair experts" is also not a personal reflection . Last edited by Toy Soldier; 14-01-2021 at 02:32 PM. |

I'm not saying anyone else shouldn't comment on it. By all means knock yourself out.
Just me. I've decided just to hunker down and wait for it all to be over. Last edited by James; 14-01-2021 at 02:35 PM. |
