in time. People will get sick (literally) of it!

This looks suspiciously like kicking the can down the road to a later date.
Just for clarity, are you going back on your claim that we'd all be sick by this week?
Because my understanding as per your previous posts was that the time was literally now.

Current daily average* for Covid deaths in the UK is 392**, up steadily from 150 at the beginning of last month.

At what sort of level does it become worth bothering about?


* Averaged over the last seven days.
** That's one every three and a half minutes.
The UK is now 'achieving' 497 Covid deaths per day.

Still rising steadily.

Yup, was due just before the weekend if the 3 week timeframe was to be believed. How you feeling? I'm doing alright so far!

Why would I crawl away without taking responsibility? I've been ill and busy so not been on here, constantly checking for who can shout back at, in an angry manner! Div!
I've spoken to number of viewers who have seen this thread and don't post or aren't registered and can confirm the opinions on here don't strongly align with the majority, any more.

You should all wear a mask, you should all be quadruple jabbed, including kids, and you should all be frowned upon if you don't comply with everything you're told to do - IS NOT HOW PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE!
If, as I've seen, they now have the 5th and 6th jabs cleared I am sure your stance will be even more watered down, in time. People will get sick (literally) of it!
Sorry. I don't have link!
Is it just me, or have you gone from saying everything they say is a lie to saying you don't care anymore even if it is killing 500 a day? Has your stance changed to just sod it, rather than saying it's not actually an issue?

You are pretty crass with some of your assumptions!
Not an issue? Dead people don't matter? Listen to yourself!!
The figures have never been xxx died OF COVID! There are seasonal peaks of illnesses if we like it or not and, I am pretty sure there will be a balancing out of all of those people who have had delayed treatments due to waiting lists or "delays due to covid". I've waited 14 weeks for an MRI scan "because of covid" and I now have other problems that may not have arisen if that was fixed, sooner.
There's a whole world outside covid that needs dealing with and many of those deaths that are "within 28 days of a test" or even don't qualify because they have died with 14 days of having a jab.
The effects of dealing with all of this will hit us harder in the long run than actual deaths from it, now.

As for the comments on some posts about "you should look after your mental health!" because I share a different view. Pfft! Grow up!

I truly am sorry for you having to wait so long (I have family members who have been in the same situation with other stuff) but it's strange that you don't see how ranting against the use of masks and vaccinations contributes to the problem. It's turkeys voting for Christmas.

Lockdown fast, wear masks, get a highly vaccinated population and the strain upon the NHS would be far less AND you'd need those measures for much less time. I genuinely do not understand how you cannot see that.

This is not something I've been "spoon-fed" or have read or have been told by the government, it's simple application of logic.

Less people in hospital means more resources for other stuff, pretty obvious.

And I can't understand why people buy into stuff, they wanted to hide the data on for 75 years, wanted no responsibility for and will have a lasting effect, the more they take. If you don't feel the need to question any of that, you are not using science.

Assuming you're talking about the FDA releasing Pfizer data then, I'm sure everyone will be shocked to learn, everything you've said above is incorrect.

It was requested of them to release 329,000 pages of documentation, all of which need to be reviewed first to redact confidential information. Due to the size of the team, they offered to release 12,000 pages upfront and then 500 pages per month. This was rejected as it would take 55 years (not 75). A judge ordered them to release 55,000 pages per month whilst acknowledging it as an "unduly burdensome task".

The number of years quoted (that you got wrong) is how long it would have taken for the documents to be released on a monthly basis, not that nothing would have been released until then.

If you had the wherewithal to read up on things yourself and not just swallow whatever people tell you then you'd know that.

Really glad for you knowing that everything you ever say is 100% correct and nothing I have ever said will ever be true. So proud!

Mate, stop coming in here and posting absolute refutable nonsense and you'll stop getting pulled up on it.

When are we all getting sick, again...?

Yet again, someone has quickly debunked your latest claim, with some simple fact checking.

Over and over again you have posted complete nonsense and now you have the effrontery to suggest that others are "not using science".

I'm sorry but I'm out of this. There is debate and there is banging your head against a wall.

Congratulations on being the first person on here, I've put on 'ignore'.
