Easing Of Lockdown.
114 Answers
Ahead of the govt announcemnet today, I give you this quote from The Sunday Times of Feb 14th:
"The deaths from Covid have been, across the year, not much more than double the number of excess winter deaths in a bad flu year. We impose no restrictions on the population for seasonal flu, but close society down entirely for Covid. That makes little logical sense. Still less when you add in the 225,000 operations cancelled as a consequence of lockdown.
By the end of this month, the NHS will be under scarcely any greater pressure than it is normally at the beginning of March, given the decrease in infections. The elderly will have been vaccinated.
So who, exactly, is it that we're protecting? Is the plan to create a country in which people die happily of many things, as they always have, but never, mercifully, of Covid"
No mention either of the billions paid out in fraudulent business claims during lockdown. Money that should have gone to the NHS in the first place.
The figures are as high as they are BECAUSE of the govt and "the science", not IN SPITE of them.
But if everyone is happy to continue in lockdown, then stay in lockdown. If everyone believes all the publicity and propaganda from the govt, then stay with it. You think you know it makes sense. Don't you? Apart from that, everything's fine thanks. :o)

I take offence on behalf of those that do work in the NHS, who work their guts out every day for ungrateful little rissoles who slag them off over the slightest thing, who denigrate them then use them at the drop of a hat without a shred of acknowledgement of their hypocrisy. I take offence at the twee comments of people who try and compare the NHS with some foreign private clinic that fixed their in grown teonail on insurance. I take offence at their missing the point, the only point that matters. There may be better care in the world but almost nowhere will fix you up and ask questions later, that is why the NHS is the envy of the world, that is the mark of a civilised country. Almost everywhere else are barbarians, end of.
you see TCL, you lefties are selfish you see only through your own eyes, you have no empathy for those that work in institutions like the NHS, you see only the slither of one frame of a huge film and judge the whole film by that. You not understanding why I take it personally tells me all I need to know about you.
There's no perfect system anywhere, for anything - least of all healthcare.
Everyone has the right to speak and if that includes criticising something you or I hold dear because it has always worked right for us (you're very lucky if that's the case), then they should be allowed to say it.
My life experience of the NHS, for myself,my family etc has been mostly positive but I could if I wished recount some dreadful tales.
