The words don’t sound great when viewed in the context of Germany wanting mandatory vaccinations, but he’s right to suggest everybody is getting the Covid at some point in the near to medium future. People here seem to think they can constantly run away or hide from it forever, and governments have been guilty of perpetuating that particular myth. One of the best things that an individual can do (if we’re going down the protect yourself and the NHS) is to lose the weight they’ve been needing to lose, but some of our politicians think it’s better to enforce exclusionary policies than risk offending the overweight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is going to get it, probably multiple times over the span of a human lifetime. As much as some don't want to hear it, that's it. It's not going away and we can't just run away from a respiratory virus forever. Even ever so careful Christina Pagel still managed to get it, after all. 24 minutes ago, Left Back said: Must have been on a mad one over the weekend to come out with something like that. He is right, though. Granted he's just trying to put the shitters up them and justify measures taken, he's delivered a healthy dose of reality alongside it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Think we can safely discard the masks considering Lizardbeth and her lackies can't bother their arse with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t disagree with any of the points you make. Still mental to hear a politician come out with something pragmatic though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyle Lanley Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Nicola Sturgeon is to announce whether Scotland's vaccine passport system will be expanded to cover more venues. The government has said that widening existing restrictions could be the only alternative to a new lockdown if Covid-19 cases rise during the winter period. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-59373799 They really are a bunch of arseholes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorongil Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Don’t really understand why people are bothered about vaccine passports. Just get vaccinated and get the vaccine passport. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heart attack, stroke, cancer, hit by a bus, Covid...... maybe different routes we're all going to end up the same and to be honest i'd rather make the most of what's left than sitting about the house waiting for the next round of half baked restrictions to be announced. It is a fair point, but heart attacks, strokes, cancers and being hit by a bus aren't infectious. Nor will any of these result in parts of wards or a whole ward and its staff being out of commission. -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I have no issue taking a Covid vaccine booster every year for the rest of my days. Masks can get in the bin, they do fuck all. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it is so infectious and short of becoming a hermit, anyone living a remotely social existence is going to be exposed to it eventually. Like Covid, a high percentage of people who carry influenza are asymptomatic. 2 minutes ago, Salt n Vinegar said: It is a fair point, but heart attacks, strokes, cancers and being hit by a bus aren't infectious.

Infectious disease, especially bog standard viruses like SARS-CoV-2, are simply a reality of the human experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way to stop a whole ward being taken out of commission is to treat a bog-standard, treatable respiratory illness like any of the other ones. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
