Popular Post Gaz Posted June 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2021 1 hour ago, Frank Grimes said: Why do the Government not grasp we are well past the end of our fucking tether with all this? Because we (as in society) aren't. Someone said it yesterday - this place is a bit of an echo chamber. It is, after all, a site for Scottish football fans. I'd wager 80%+ of the members here are white, straight men aged between 18 and 40 who like going to the football, going to the pub and are at the age where they spend a lot of time with their mates. It's why when you come on here pretty much the only opinion you see is folk wanting an end to lockdown restrictions. Society isn't like that. There are consistent polls that show support for continuing of restrictions and even calls for another national lockdown. That's why the Government aren't in any rush. It's not hurting them politically. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have absolutely no idea the extent of the impact on my business, neither do the other posters who have made unwarranted assumptions. However it suits your narrative to make these uninformed statements. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Back Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 57 minutes ago, oaksoft said: And there's no way that 400,000 have had symptoms for more than a year. I'm not even sure we had passed through that number of cases in total a year ago. That is just such a ridiculous claim that any sane person can see right through it. Officially we hadn't Mass testing only started around April so there will be more cases than those reported. but unless the overwhelming majority of people that were infected a year ago have long covid (which they don't) as you say it's an absolutely bullshit claim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just like before it will be bitch slapped down and your wee conspiracy worldview will continue to lie in bits. Won't stop you dribbling utter shite still, so at least you'll continue to have that. 1 hour ago, Honest Saints Fan said: I absolutely hate this "greater" phrase. The people want 2019 normality. Nothing less. Will it be a clear cut intention to return to full pre-pandemic normality like Denmark have published, or will it be more pointless drivel chucked in to appease the Lovejoy's and public health psychopaths? Stay tuned to find out! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 It's obviously possible to have the symptoms described as Long Covid without ever having had Covid. It's just a rebranded post-viral fatigue - so any virus could give the same symptoms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Disclaimer: obviously an English-centric poll, but 71% of folk support continuing of restrictions. Seventy-one percent. A whopping 81% of old farts support it, whose pre-lockdown days presumably consisted of watching Countdown on repeat and whose lockdown days consisted of, er, watching Countdown on repeat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The combined impact of the government's admitted use of psychological terror and the existence of online communities of ME and CFS sufferers who are resistant to any treatment and amplify fears about Long Covid has been a disaster. What matters the number of people with symptoms that are seriously impacting their quality of life not whether it's a result of the virus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like a bit of a weirdo with a Jesus hairdo. Don't know if he was ever in the news. He fell ill in May, 2 months after we were all sent home so didn't catch Covid from students. He is a right pain in the backside though, so wouldn't put it past him to contact the BBC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) More news from the dystopian hellhole that is called Australia Quote Australian doctors have reported a surge in the number of people cancelling their vaccine appointments, amid a new wave of caution over the AstraZeneca jab. It comes after the government updated guidance last week to recommend only those aged over 60 get the shot, due to the risk of a rare blood-clotting syndrome.
