Elixir Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 1 hour ago, Wee Bully said: I’m struggling - how can Sweden be lifting restrictions when we were told they didn’t have any? That was only propagated by the extremists at both ends of the horseshoe. In reality, of course they had restrictions - but they were based on sensible pandemic mitigation that had been derived long before early 2020 and the insanity of 'lockdown'. Sadly, once Italy followed the play of authoritarian China, most places were doomed to failure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) Complete parody of a place. Quote Posted at 11:12 I'm a Celebrity Covid case triggers Australian lockdown Copyright: EPA The positive Covid case triggered a seven-day lockdown The reality TV programme I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is facing criticism after a crew member contracted Covid-19, sending thousands of Australians into lockdown. The make-up artist allegedly visited a number of establishments in the state of New South Wales without checking in or using a QR code. She has been charged with multiple breaches of public health orders. The incident has raised questions over the filming of shows in the area. The 31-year-old woman, who has not been identified, flew to Ballina from Sydney on Saturday under an exemption, according to ABC News. She then visited a number of locations in the north of the state over the weekend. ITV, which makes the programme, told the news outlet that the crew member was "fully vaccinated and was wearing PPE while at work". It added that all of her close contacts were now in isolation. But police said that by attending several businesses and venues in Byron Bay and Kingscliff, she had breached the conditions of her work-related travel exemption. Australia has strict border restrictions, even between states, with many people cut off from seeing loved ones. Read more here.

Elixir Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Also, more sensible analysis from Nick Triggle earlier: Quote Posted at 10:51 Analysis: Subsequent Covid infections likely to be milder Nick Triggle Health Correspondent Covid is on its way to becoming like the common cold, according to two leading experts, Oxford University’s Prof Sir John Bell and Prof Dame Sarah Gilbert, who designed the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine. For a virus that has caused such devastation, that may seem like a bold claim. But what past pandemics show is that the virus comes in waves. The initial waves are big, causing a huge amount of serious illness, but then get smaller and smaller. This is not because the virus disappears, but because the immunity we have built up lessens its impact. The illnesses caused are less severe even though we get infected repeatedly. The vaccines that have been developed have basically given our immune systems a head start, teaching them how to fight off the virus. The protection against infection may wane over time, but it remains stronger against serious illness. That means while we face repeated infections in the future, they are likely to be milder for most and in the process keep our immune systems topped up. As we see with other viruses, older people and those with compromised immune systems will remain at greater risk. That is why they are likely to be offered repeat vaccinations in future years. This does not mean there will be no Covid deaths in the future – a bad flu winter can still claim 25,000 lives – but instead it will reach a level that society considers acceptable. The big question is just how quickly we get there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Back Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Watching Ambulance on BBC. Some fuckwit phoned an ambulance to get his house screened and family tested for Covid because a dog ran into their house and he feared it could have infected them all with Covid. What the actual f**k is wrong with some people? no idea why the dispatcher didn’t tell him to f**k off and hang up but he said they’d get someone out to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) These countries with no Domestic (Still entry restrictions) legal coronavirus restrictions like Denmark. I just double checked and apparently if you catch Covid in Denmark you still need to go into self isolation for a certain number of days. Is that not a legal coronavirus restriction ?
