Thing is, though, ^the above demonstrates that your reading comprehension is weak.

This in itself is not particularly surprising - your comprehension of pretty much everything within the compass of this subject is suspect at best.

It would explain why you have now moved, when asked for evidence, toward more visual cues. Videos of people as clueless as you is probably the best we can expect from here on in, but is no substitute for some substance.

Ultimately @SketchyMagpie is right, it is better that you be pitied.

Well , after evading it all this time, hubby just did a test when we got back from holiday as he's been feeling so rough....came up a strong positive straight away :(

Now maybe he'll listen to me when I say to be more careful !!! :rolleyes: Bought a bag of chocolates at the start of the holiday , and he opens it with his teeth :eek: despite having scissors in the apartment. My " that's probably got all sort of germs on, you'll probably get covid now!" got scoffed at.....

Nah! Just lots of evidence mounting up that people like you keep acting like suckers.
I’ve never denied a virus. I’ve always claimed the processes and controls are there to control and manipulate.

Out of interest and wanting to hear the views of others I've actually watched the video that you posted and all it is saying is that some organisation made up a six feet distance. So what?

I'm sure that many organisations made protective measurement judgements on how to best protect populations against an unknown virus and the protection measures

It may be "made up" but the intent was to try to protect.

Where are your videos or evidence that whatever protection measures you think are there to control and manipulate were actually proven to be incorrect?

And probably more importantly where is your evidence that the manipulative measures that you mention didn't actually work?

It's been obvious for a long time that I'm trying to communicate with people who only believe what they have dictated to them, rather than thinking outside the box. Many who who won't politically believe what they are told by those in charge but when it comes to the biggest event in modern times they've taken everything they've been fed as gospel.
If you'don;t understand that those narratives don't align I really do despair for you, considering all the names and abuse that's come my way!
Those measurement guides were made up and not needed, so loads of businesses could not open due to viability issues.
They even limited attendance at outside sports events! You bought into all of that too!
If you have to question me about us being manipulated I guess you're happy to jump off a cliff if those in charge tell you to! Jesus H!!!!

I never believe anything the government or the newspapers say as a matter of principle but go to original sources and check the facts. Yes, original sources and facts not a load of garbage dreamed up by a load of right-wing conspiracy theorists who cherry pick information and distort the real facts beyond recognition. So six feet, two metres, the length of a coffin, the length of a crocodile or various other lengths that were suggested were approximate based on the distance that microscopic droplets are likely to travel, it was a reasonable attempt to produce guidelines in a hurry. Ok, lets be honest, lots of restrictions were brought in in an attempt to protect people and you didn't like them because they restricted what you wanted to do. So because you are so important and didn't like them they have to have been wrong and put into place to control and manipulate you Wrong, you are the one who is being controlled and manipulated by some very unpleasant people with an unpleasant political agenda

See, this is a difficult sentence - it doesn't immediately make much sense, but gets there if you have some pre-knowledge of the literary style -
Many who who won't politically believe what they are told by those in charge but when it comes to the biggest event in modern times they've taken everything they've been fed as gospel.
- then that is just gibberish -
If you'don;t understand that those narratives don't align I really do despair for you, considering all the names and abuse that's come my way!
- i don't really want to come across as some sort of Grammar Nazi, but... you'don;t is actually not the worst thing that happens in this sentence -
Those measurement guides were made up and not needed, so loads of businesses could not open due to viability issues.
They even limited attendance at outside sports events! You bought into all of that too!
- i looked at your earlier, less erratic, posts a few months ago, to see whether you had always been such a fan of the exclamation mark, and found that this is not new, you've always been a fan - it's not a great look -
If you have to question me about us being manipulated I guess you're happy to jump off a cliff if those in charge tell you to! Jesus H!!!!
You are wrong about the things you believe to be right about. Stop trying to influence the behaviour of people who are trying to do the right things that you are so wrong about.

If you need something to otherwise occupy your time, Birds Aren't Real ...

Science is based on theory, experimentation and subsequent data (which MUST be repeatable.) Not f****** internet research on dubious web sites.

GG would do well to heed the words of Richard Feynman: (one of the great Nobel Prize winning physicists of the 20th Century):

It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.”

The video you posted doesn't mention about whether the 6 feet measurement was needed it just says it was made up.

As I said earlier and as Noah has said they were "made up" to try to protect people against an unknown virus that was killing people (unless of course you think that was made up too).

Whilst I missed doing a lot of things that I enjoy such as watching football or superbikes they were reasonable measures to take to try to stop the spread of the virus at a time when the population wasn't vaccinated.

I'd be interested to hear what your (@gilbert grape) alternative solution(s) would have been and what you think the outcome would be if we hadn't followed the laws that were in place at that time.

Why do you think I want solar, he can't see past coal fires and sending kids up chimneys. Actually do employer rights fall under his remit?

The same 6 or so little voices trying to batter one voice into submission. Almost like you work for a drug company! Go on! Tell us we all have to get the next jab and if not, we are a danger to everyone!
