Coronavirus.

Interesting ONS data about Japan's covid response was released recently.
They had the least restrictive measures (no national lockdowns), a death rate 10x lower than the UK and the lowest drop in GDP among the G7.
The reason they avoided national lockdowns is because they focused their precautions on airborne transmission with strong messaging (ie not "wash your hands to the national anthem"....) plus effective contact tracing.

The report also shows that "economic inactivity" (ie people leaving or looking for new jobs) has reversed everywhere except in the UK, where "the increases in inactivity have been more persistent".

This somewhat breaks the whole "lockdowns vs economy" argument favoured by the media.

Reminder that most of Asia has been masking up during flu season for years

It’s not new, but it hurts people’s fee fees over here
I've always really thought that wearing a mask in a doctor's surgery was a good idea as you often go and catch something far worse than you went in for. So whatever the rules, I for one will continue mask wearing at the doctors.

And when visiting a hospital I think.

I did see a chap wearing a mask when out walking, alone, on the very quiet Chase yesterday. I did think it slightly odd but each to their own and all that.

We've hears a whisper that we may be stopping wearing the masks at work from next week. I'm not too sure how happy to feel about that. Personally, I hate the things, but I haven't had a single chest infection since we started with them. Probably would have had at least 7 maybe 8 by now without.

Plus everyone will see you mouthing 'penis cranium' at them now!
It's the other things too, like sticking your tongue out at management, calling them a wanker continously.
I think, over the last couple of years, quite a few allergy sufferers will have noticed how masks can help reduce the effects of, for example, hay fever.
Having grown up in the country, I never suffered from any allergies like hay fever. Then oil seed rape was introduced, I look like i've been blarting my head off for hours when I get near the stuff. It's murder if I go to see my little sister, the fields round her way are covered in the stuff. The pollen from it must travel a fair bit, the farm she lives on doesn't actually grow the horrible stuff, just the neighbouring ones.

There will be a whole list that conveniently reflect after effects of what we've all had pumped into us, like the rise in under 40 deaths that is occurring and being classed as SADS but they have no idea what's causing it? Of course, the evidence won;t be released til 2023 so it will be widely denied until then.

Where in this article from an Australian Daily Mail reporter does it mention about anything being pumped into people?

From what I can see it talks about under 40s getting a heart check because of an increase in the number of SADS cases but I can see no mention of a link to anything to do with Coronavirus or vaccines or indeed any other substance that may have been pumped into people.

By the way if you Google Daily Mail SADS you will find a number of similar articles from before late 2019 way before anyone was jabbed. Guess what? There's even a very similar to one to this advising under 40s to get a check up in 2019.

Struggling to understand the logic in your thinking here @gilbert grape so can you clarify please?

You're right it doesn't but it does in some of the other Daily Mail articles that I read.

Anyway what's wrong with me adding a bit of my own interpretation/twist on what the article doesn't say and me jumping to the wrong conclusion then broadcasting it in this thread?

As an aside I blame the number of SADS cases on the introduction of Gregg's vegan sausage rolls in 2020 (that's definitely in the article next to the part about people having jabs).

To find the link with COVID, you need to read the comments section. Every comment there has been posted by a qualified medical professional with direct specialism in the link between SADS and the injection of the noxious chemicals designed to harm us in the guise of a 'COVID vaccine'.

They're not nutters, honestly...

Speaking to my aunt recently who lives in an area of Stafford that allegedly includes the person who has been doing all the anti-vaxx, info wars etc graffiti. Apparently the identity of this person is pretty common knowledge locally. There is an additional reason to believe this might be true because of how said person has chosen to decorate their house but I don't want to give anything identifiable away.

The most surprising part to me, if true, is how close to home much of the graffiti is. Apparently "don't shit where you eat" doesn't apply with this person.

I know 2 people who died of SADS some years ago and find your comments quite disingenuous.
