Covid Update.............

[10ClarionSt]

................just in case you weren't aware. Nothing has worked so far has it? Infection rates rising.

Lockdown? Not even the WHO don't recommend that. When lockdown is introduced, the infection rates go up.

Track & Trace? What happened to that world-leading technology? Overseen by a woman whose last company had the personal data of 4 million customers compromised by hackers. (Talk-Talk)

Facemasks? Useless unless you are a shareholder of the company that manufactures them. Another thing that WHO says is ineffective.

But wait! Over the horizon comes the Pfizer vaccine to save the day. We don't know the long term effects yet, but we've been promised that things will be back to normal by Easter. Trouble is, they didn't say which easter, did they?

Nothing will ever be normal again in this country and anyone who thinks it will must believe everything the govt says. Peoples lives ruined;
re-possessions; businesses closed down; mass unemployment; education vastly disrupted; hospital appointments and health care disrupted; travel industry virtually non-existent.

What we have now will become the new "normal", as much as people don't like it because eventually people will get used to anything if they have to. And all this can be yours! Bojo the Clown has had the Corporal Jones manner along with King Canute-style policies. He has an appoointment atop the cliffs of Dover next week where he will raise his arms and thrust the nasty virus back towards the continent.
What else is there for him? Sounds good to me and I commend it to the house!

[10ClarionSt]

Oooops! Typo in the OP. Should say "Not even the Who recommend that"

[drmorgans]

Won't get fooled again?

[Bazile]

It's a conspiracy , a tell ya

[emmie]

whats the answer because as you say infections still rising.

[drmorgans]

Or as the anti-vaxxers say, we're not gonna take it

[10ClarionSt]

The govt haven't got an answer. Have you got an answer, emmie? The infection rate is rising. That's a fact. We were told to follow the science, weren't we? Where is the science now? If the science is wrong (oh my god, don't say that!) where do we go from here?

I suppose we could just get on with it and live with it. :o)

[emmie]

would you let it run its course? as someone suggested.

[drmorgans]

I can't explain

[10ClarionSt]

Yes but with special measures. What are they? It's called priorities. As with the list of priorities for the vaccine, which I won't be having, btw.

[MartinMillar]

So what is the answer as you obviously think you know better than the experts clarion?

[10ClarionSt]

What experts, Martin? Nothing has worked yet. Where are the experts you refer to?

[emmie]

60,000 dead and more to come presumably, other countries seemed to have had lockdown earlier and less deaths.

[emmie]

those we rely on to give us the updates, or to give them to the respective governments of this country.

[10ClarionSt]

I've no doubt that these "experts" will blame all and sundry for not doing as they're told. "They haven't followed our instructions, the pig-ignorant great unwashed! How dare they think for themselves"

[douglas9401]

I was kinda with you but you blew it with the not taking the vaccine nonsense.

Please report to the 1920s for a good dose of polio and smallpox.

[MartinMillar]

The experts that advise the government and have produced the vaccine

[rowanwitch]

Don't complain about the problem and blame everyone else unless you have a viable solution. It changes nothing, better to work on ways of making things better or working out how you can behave in a way that makes things safer for those around you.

[MartinMillar]

So again what is your suggestion for a cure?

[10ClarionSt]

Stop looking outward for a change, emmie. Look here. At home. Infections are rising. Nothing's working. Fact.

[bobbinwales]

My generation .. will get the vaccinne soon but until then, and maybe after, will need to distance and follow the rules.
The point your missing 10cs is that yes infections are rising but do fall or the rapid increase slows right down when we have lockdowns. China has it under control by locking you up if you break curfews. Italy and Germany are locking down. Masks compulsery in many countrys. Virtually no scientist (apart from Piers Corbyn perhaps) or doctor/medic or goverment leader or UK political party shares your view. But your right in your own mind so you carry on in ignorance.
