OK.
So if its not a pandemic, what is the other explanation for what has happened all across the planet in the last 6 or so months?
I don't know. You tell me. I'm just pointing out contradictions in death data in other countries.

Except that's not what you said. You said you remain to be convinced because of contradictory science. I'm asking you to provide a link to some of that contradictory science.

As I said, any chance of providing a link to a peer-reviewed article in a medical journal that claims this is not a pandemic?

Again, why. What is the purpose of this conspiracy? Is it so that Bill Gates can control us all using vaccines, because that sounds a bit like where you're going.
If that is the case, why would so many different countries get involved. Different nations, opposite ideologies, competing goals.
And why haven't Japan spilled the beans then?
Just now, madwullie said:OK, so if japan aren't in on the big conspiracy, why have they stayed quiet. Surely they could expose the evil Gates once and for all?
Where did I definitively say it wasn't a pandemic? I said I remained to be convinced in light of the oldest most vulnerable, densely populated Country in the world having no spike in deaths in spite of no lockdown restrictions compared other Countries that have.
You guys carry on hiding under your beds though, I'm sure the Government will tell you when it's safe to come out!

I read an article a week or so ago about Japan and it essentially boiled down to Japanese culture being much more subservient to Western culture. They didn't need to bring in a lockdown or laws because they knew that if they asked their citizens to stay away from each other and wear masks then that's what those citizens would do.
Take it from someone that actually lives here. There's been no mass isolating here. They shut the schools for a fortnight and that was about it.

Could you link to one peer-reviewed article, such as in a medical journal or similar, that says it is not a pandemic? I'd be interested to read this contradictory science.
The CDC and WHO have consistently contradicted themselves over the last few months. There's been numerous Doctors (including the Nobel prize winner that discovered HIV/Aids (shares RNA/DNA viral similarities) that have came out and contradicted the official narrative.
YouTube and Facebook in their wisdom feel Bill Gates is better qualified though.

So the obvious conclusion is?
It's certainly hard to ignore the Political and Financial agendas being driven, that's for sure.....
As for "fast tracking" a vaccine when historically, these have taken the best part of 10years to perfect and implement through rigorous testing, I'm sure it'll be fine though.....

You don't think it's a pandemic?
I remain to be convinced. Far too much contradictory science. I'm not saying the deaths aren't real, they clearly are.

Not at all. I live in a highly densely populated Country with the oldest populus in the world that has had cases of covid19 before Europe or America, had no enforced lockdown and yet had no spike in deaths whatsoever.
My own situation highlights this, being high risk with neutrophils of less than 1000, yet still attending a designated Covid19 treatment hospital for fortnightly chemotherapy. I've also continued to work (like everyone else) throughout.
Compare and contrast this with the UK/USA where the death toll has been huge in spite of all the lockdown restrictions.

I think people often confuse free speech and inciting (racial, religious, etc) hatred similarly slander or libel. But the flip side to this is that there are laws against the latter and a Court system in place to prosecute those guilty of these crimes therefore cancel culture often seems like an attack on different opinions.

This whole pandemic, if indeed that is truly what it is, just goes to show how Dictators get away with it. In general, the masses will literally bow to the word of authority regardless of how flimsy or contradictory the facts and science backing it is.

I think the article raises some good points but also leaves some questions.
For example, the part about commentators being more likely to criticize the intelligence of the play of black players certainly seems significant.
However, I'm unconvinced by the point about praising black players' physical attributes. For example, is it the case that black players do just tend to be bigger? If so, it's not really a story that football commentators mention this.
For example, in 2015 75% of NBA players were black. Clearly a sport geared towards being big. And since 1980 (which was boycotted by America) no white guy has won the 100m at the Olympics. So how much of this should we be surprised about?
Someone like Bobo Balde, for example. Clearly a good player who reached a good level. But where do you start describing his game if not by talking about power? Or Jose Goncalves who we had at Hearts. A good defender who could obviously play, but again clearly his main attributes were pace and power. I think most Hearts fans will remember his remarkable ability to shepherd the ball out for a goal kick from about 25 yards out.
To get to the bottom of that issue we need more data on the players.
I always referred to Bobo Balde as the Parkhead Baresi......

It's a real, 1 step forward, 2 steps back situation a lot of the time as she sometimes recognises that she needs to go but then next time seems completely oblivious. She's started to get self conscious about it as I suspect some of the other kids at her kindergarten are perhaps teasing her about it. Although, I do wonder if complacency or laziness is part of the issue as she's always on the go, doing and learning new things that going to the toilet might seem boring and "old hat" in comparison.
We have wondered whether her treatment may have dulled her sensation for "needing to go", which would make sense but it's impossible to say for sure.
Any advice?The laziness/distraction thing is very real and toilet training, more than most issues with kids (although this is common for various issues IMO) was one that is very "phased" and sorted itself whilst we were busy stressing over a solution. I would say dont stress about it and it will come good.
Yeh, I was a bit like this as a kid too with regard to schoolwork (the early years only.....then I just lost interest completely!)
Fingers crossed she'll outgrow it when she's ready.

Yeh, we're certainly conscious of not making a big deal about it. Other kids at the kindergarten teasing her is outwith our control though and it's a wee bit heartbreaking when you see her becoming sensitive to it but she's a tough cookie that's come through far worse, so I'm confident she'll cope in the long run.
Thanks for the words of encouragement guys. Appreciated.

No, just curious. Would you refuse any new drug then?
Yes I would and given that I've spent the last 5 months pumping my veins with poison on a biweekly basis, I'd say that's quite telling.
5 minutes ago, welshbairn said:The new techniques using RNA templates (or something, no expert) I think mean they're pretty well guaranteed to be safe before starting. Anyway, probably safer for me than catching the virus with my immunity (or lack of).
You should look into the reasons why the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation have been chased out of India and Central Africa!

Would any of you voluntarily put yourself and/or your family forward to take a proposed vaccine for coronavirus?

AND....
6) That the Scottish goverment has looked after us much more sensibly, than the tories have the people down south...
So not a lot then, whereas Countries that didn't lockdown are 6 months ahead in terms of creating a "herd immunity" against the virus.

There are all sorts of variables in the Far East that make comparisons with the UK not very useful, habitual use of face masks for one. Makes more sense to compare the UK with similar European countries.
Granted but we have had cases of coronavirus in Tokyo and Osaka, which, given Japan's age demographic and these Cities densities, you'd expect a spike in deaths.
Masks only tend to be worn by those that are sick (which is what they're designed for). I'm deemed at high risk yet I'll only wear a mask indoors when in close proximity to other people (not at home obviously)

That in the most part people do what they're told, and it is possible to control the infection rate. And any delay in implementation can be very costly.
That depends upon which approach/figures you believe, surely?

No, I'm lying in bed on my smartphone about to go to sleep so not about to troll through medical journals. But the medical professionals interviewed in the article put forth their expert opinions which contradict the narrative. That'll have to do you for now.
f**k off you condescending p***k. I understand science well enough to know that it sometimes gets it wrong and I'm also aware enough of some funded science projects working backwards from its conclusions to suit.
