Off Topic Media coverage of C-19

If any journalists are caught breaking social distancing rules then they are ****s of the highest order too! They deserve to be named and shamed too!

 

I think the basic summary is this wasn’t as apocalyptic as anyone made out, the government made enough provisioning and as a result the NHS coped easily. However we’re all in the snowflake generation and as a result everything has to be an issue or a problem for someone. I'll use the example of some ****ing tool moaning about the NHS 'rainbow' detracting from the LGBTQ symbol. I mean, what the actual **** is wrong with people?

The BBC put up an excellent summary picture. Basically, as a natural illness, Covid-19 does absolutely nothing to the overall risk of dying. Your chances of dying of anything in the next 12 months simply aren't increased by Coronavirus and we would arguably be much better off banning driving, cigarettes, alcohol and fast food than doing even the slightest amount of social distancing.

The problem, as with anything, is people and their right to moan, complain and generally be pathetic. The human race is a ****ing embarrassment these days.

 

Stop ****ing moaning about it FFS

 

wasn't

it still is

 

agreed. To summarise more succinctly... there’s too many soft ****s around these days who need to give their head a wobble.

 

Now you're moaning too!

****!

 

beelin’

on the hook already

too easy

 

Covid-19 Deniers, the UK has its fair share.
The Donald Trump brigade no less.

 

I agree. What a snowflake.

 

this


maybe when someone they know dies they can tell me it's not a big problem and an embarrassment .

 

I think you’ve misunderstood this one mate.

Your risk of dying from Covid is approximately equal to your risk of dying in the next year. So it’s a doubling of risk.

Excess death stats would tend to back this up: deaths are up 113% on last year (so just more than doubled).

On a more personal note - the wife is a doctor looking after ITU patients. She’s watched young and healthy people die as a result of this disease. It’s a nasty ****er.

The NHS coped - by throwing money at the situation and cancelling all routine operations. But a lot of people have died, and most of them didn’t need to had we done things differently.

That being said, it wasn’t an easy situation and I’m not sure I’d have done better without hindsight. So I don’t criticise too much. But that doesn’t mean we’ve handled it perfectly, or even particularly well.

 

Is this the end?

End of democracy IMHO.

 

what do you mean

 

What do you need explaining?

 

everything

 

I'm not doing it all for you cos I don't have time, but I'll get the ball rolling.

13.8 billion years ago there was a big bang.........

 

well the universe did, but there's always been something

 

pics or it didn't happen

 

the universe came from something ... I'm saying something was already there.

 

No, don't be daft, that was last December, although some might say it was 2015.
