Coronavirus

[maryhilldon]

I seen something on telly the other night that said there were 5m people in England waiting for a hospital appointment,  10% of the population!  It's something even more ridiculous in NI,  about 20%.

If history tells us one thing, it's that once people voluntarily give up their freedoms, the powers that be never give them back without one hell of a fight. If history tells us another thing, it's that compliance is seen as a sign of weakness, something to be exploited. This creeping authoritarianism isn't simply going to go away, no matter how much some continue to insist it will. 

I think there will be massive civil disobedience, even mass riots, before we see a change of tack from globalists.

I suspect this to be the case, wouldn’t be surprised if they keep track and trace in some form for pubs which would I suppose be good for finding out who was there if some crime takes place, but far too much like Big Brother for me.

That said handy if you lose your jacket while absolutely smashed and you can use the app to find out where the fuck you were.

Is the coronavirus a psychological illness, a physical illness, a disease, or a political and ideological fabrication?

Playing Who Wants to be a Millionaire? just now and these are the 4 answer options provided for the question "What is the coronavirus?"

The clock's ticking........?

Decent thread from cunt Cummings. 

Probably trying to put a narrative out that he was against all the fuck ups the UK Government made, while also throwing his old pals under the bus.

So in summary, the biggest contributor to economic decline was not lockdowns but fear of the covids.

Brought on by lockdowns.

Please. Full on lockdown? Folk have have been doing what they want for months now.

Anyway, with all the vulnerable being vaccinated what’s the problem?

Its percentages and probabilities

The vaccine isnt 100% effective nor does it stop 100% of transmissions. Everyone could be vaccinated, there would still be virus moving around. Very slowly, but there.

Lift lock down before hte magic no of 80% with immunity is reached, let people go "back to normal" and the more the virus begins circulating again. The more that happens, the more chance there is of new variants.

The more chance of variants, the more chance of a vaccine resistant variant popping up

Vaccine resistant variant = back to day 1 again.

As you say the virus will always be here vaccine or not. Variants are going to happen, we need to accept that.

Protect the vulnerable with the jab and move on.

IF a vaccine resistant variant emerges the drug companies have said they would be confident of tweaking the vaccine accordingly.

The talk is now of giving the vaccine to kids (in Western civilisation). Although the WHO have said this is wrong when so much of the poor countries haven’t got their vulnerable vaccinated.

If only the government had put as much effort into tackling the obesity crisis in this country as they have the vaccine roll out.

We might not have had so many Covid hospitalisations and deaths.

 I've been singing from that hymn sheet for years. Too many big fatties waddling about the place.

People's attitude to obesity is very strange. It's certainly not the way to solve the problem that's for sure.

The way to solve the problem, like with most things, is education. 

Teach kids how to cook. Teach them what's good for them. Teach them what's in their food. Cooking a healthy meal, for low cost, is a piece of pish if you've been taught.

Agreed Parky but the food industry will still be there pushing the same foods that are causing the problem now.  You can't educate someone not to like food that tastes nice.

People's lives are different now. It's not a willpower issue. Every person who's overweight wants to lose weight, the diet industry is massive and controlled by the same companies that push the other foods.

Sneering at "big fatties waddling about the place" is a strange attitude for a so called socialist, considering the link between poverty and obesity. If it makes you feel superior though just you crack on.

"Brain activity scans showed the areas of Chris’ brain responsible for reward had linked up with the areas that drive repetitive, automatic behaviour. “Eating ultra-processed food became something my brain simply tells me to do, without me even wanting it”, he says, adding this is a similar brain response to taking substances we consider classically addictive such as cigarettes, alcohol and drugs"

"There is evidence foods high in carbohydrates and fat (as many ultra-processed foods are) can trigger the centres of the brain responsible for reward, emotion and motivation. A brain imaging study suggests the more often you experience reward from foods, the more you have to consume to sustain the same enjoyment.

Many ultra-processed foods have also gone through focus groups to make them ‘perfect’. The taste, level of saltiness, mouthfeel, chew, and even the sound it makes when eaten, may have been fine-tuned"

How will education overcome issues likes this Parky?

Never mind medical conditions that almost make losing weight impossible, for example, steroids for medical conditions and polycystic ovary syndrome for woman

That Fat Joe/ Ashanti track is a banger. From the golden era of RnB. (It’s ok consi you don’t need to come and tell us the origin of RnB, I know the stones invented it)

Seems 7-8 times as many people are dying of flu/pneumonia than the covids in the UK

Course it’s a consideration. They fuckers come in to 2-3m from shore. Doesn’t stop anyone though. Schools still do swimming courses in the surf. If you fretted about everything that could kill you in this country you’d end up in a rocking ball like a Romanian orphan
