Sounds fairly quiet but Trapani and Palermo are in easy reach if I get bored. Might well have said in a week or so instead of in a few weeks, who knows! Are you in Rome? I remember all the faff you had coming over for a visit in peak covid. No, Como. Look forward to hearing how it goes pal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why it was never considered in pre-pandemic planning before Italy blindly followed China, and the rest was history! That's a bit of a jump blaming lockdown for this. It actually might be Covid itself interacting with adenovirus infections that has actually caused the hepatitis. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loonytoons Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 It is most definitely not a jump to think suppressing human immune systems from routine infections would likely lead to longer-term consequences. It's a jump implying that it is the cause though, which is what you did because it fits your agenda.It might just as likely be an interaction between viruses. Covid has thrown modern science on more than one occasion. Given that it is a novel virus, that's hardly surprising.Personally, you possibly have a point but at least try to have some sort of objectivity.ETA your twitter link is irrelevant to my point. -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sit in a bar eating greasy souvlaki but at least you don’t have to complete a PLF!

However... for whatever reason (probably laziness), the medic always wants to check it in the area of the accomodation block that gets no WiFi reception, which means that it doesn't actually work. Don't get mobile reception out there, and can't screenshot the app either. Eta: ah, you meant the track and trace one, didn't you. Doh.

Scoffing at folk who might find Greece an attractive holiday destination and calling one of their national dishes "greasy" gave off more than a whiff of xenophobia.

Dons_1988 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I absolutely love Italy but if it means a return to mask wearing and various other theatre then I’m happy to wait a year or two to go back and do somewhere else. Not sure why that could be considered irrational. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Now looks highly likely to be caused by Adenovirus which has been isolated in >75% of cases.' Covid is no longer novel: nearly the entire population outside of East Asia and Oceania has been exposed to it; and it has absolutely not 'thrown modern science on more than one occasion': a plethora of vaccines and treatments were cooked up in the space of 12-18 months that have helped render it an utter irrelevance. Well, unless you are a raging hypochondriac or someone with no comprehension of how life worked before March 2020.

Loonytoons Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Cos THAT isn't a leap at all? [emoji38]Of course it's a leap. It also might have absolutely nothing to do with either Covid or lockdown. Another leap. That's all we have at the moment until investigated further.Pointing the finger at one possibility because it suits your agenda is poor stuff tbh. That is what I meant by objectivity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
