Once they create a vaccine that mixes with vodka, now that will be a game changer.

Or rum, lots and lots of  rum 🍹

Yes, but on this very thread yesterday we were receiving quote after quote from Sridhar, Ferguson etc which was all pretty negative stuff insinuating that we would have to be locked down indefinitely, so today I have decided to post a contrarian view, which is also from Gov advisors and which shows that the reality will be a decision taken on a number of variables and views from a variety of "experts" and "advisors", as opposed to just blindly following what Sridhar or Ferguson think should happen.

The good thing is that Whitty holds more weight that Sridhar, and we already know from her endless mewling that not only does he disagree with her zero covid fantasy, he disagrees with it so much he doesn't even feel her emails are worthy of a reply.

Yet more fear mongering. Wouldn't expect anything less from this rag right enough.

There needs to be more accounts like Covid Fact Check

We should.
Freeman said 1m.
You don't get to set a target. Half it. Then proclaim to be on target because you look like achieving that. Especially when the resources to hit 1m were available.

That's not what was said though.

Then the minister responsible for the vaccination program shouldn't have pledged one million by the end of this month then. And should promptly resign for making of arse of it.

She didn't though.

That and "Coronavirus Good News" are the only accounts I pay any real attention to.

I've said before but if my only source of news came from the mainstream media I'd have topped myself months ago.

The mainstream UK media are fucking arseholes. Knowing that the lowest common denominator lap up everything they tell us and that 70% of us will be dead from COVID within 18 months.

I thought that was Granny Danger that did that.

130% of a small number is still a small number anyway.

What, 70% of him is dead?

[Billy Jean King 1,922]

Bozo and Witty now giving out the exact same 30% more deadly line !!!

[Michael W 2,988]

Some context behind those numbers.

They have evidence?

[djchapsticks 12,309]

So wait....WHAT?

The new variant doesn't appear to kill more people that it hospitalises. The mortality rate of those in hospital are the same.

But it kills 30% more people that it infects.

But we've only looked at a few cases so we don't know for certain yet.

I mean I know the fucking answer but why even put that info out there?!

I think this is a precursor to "restrictions will be extended until at least the end of February" in England.

Fiat500 Twitter is going to destroy any chance of exiting this pandemic looking at her story.

Are these two accounts verified as being good sources run by people who know what they're talking about? It's important that just because the media are scaremongering people don't fall into the trap of believing anyone who says things to the contrary - that's what made "Professor" Karl Sikora prominent for a wee while.

The £500 for isolating seems like a good idea but will be hard to execute.
Maybe better to give the money to a local team who can distribute medical stuff, food and help with bills or talk to employers?

Or sort out sick pay whereby people dont feel the need to lie about having symptoms.
