    I recognise that there is a virus. I recognise the need to help keep hospital beds as empty as possible.

    My main gripe is the scaremongering. The press and the government are trying to scare people in to staying in and not doing anything at all.

    Latest headline today was 'new variant raises R rate by 0.7!' That's pure bullshit!

    The first lock down was much more strict than this and we never got the R rate down below 0.5. Yet the R rate is now somewhere between 0.8 and 1.1 as reported earlier this week. That means that this lock down would have had the old variant down at minimal levels. Yet the stronger, most adhered to, lockdown never got below 0.5. The numbers don't add up somewhere.

    I partially agree with Olof that none of the figures actually add up when you look at it all. There's just alot of fake news in order to scare the population in to lock down.

    Yes I know that but what we don't know is how longer they could have lived if they didn't catch it, it could have been days, it could have been years.
    Either way it was premature

    And that’s in a country where the average life expectancy is 81. (Though it must be remembered that by the time one reaches the age of 81, one’s average life expectancy is between 88 and 90, depending on if you’re male or female.


    From the FT 20/11/20

    So you live 6 - 8 years less.

    And if you get to 90, how many more years do they give us?

    Don't know if this has been mentioned on another thread apologies if so, a mate of mine in the speakeasy we're in just told me this, don't know how true, but the esteemed football pundit Karen Carney has been giving us her pearls of wisdom, when asked if Chelsea would be happy with their performance in their facup match against Luton she said they would be happy with their 3 points.

    Complete and utter nonsense and you know it.

    She's an ex professional footballer, so of course she know the difference between a league and a cup match.

    Just another excuse for some bloke to make up some sexist bullshit...happy to clear that up for you <whistle>
