Feel free to talk about anything that you want.

Well, it takes all sorts, as they say.

Is this the latest manifestation of Darwin’s “natural selection”? :shock: :?

On preventive measures…

During WWII bombings, Londoners took refuge in the city’s underground network because it was the SENSIBLE thing to do, and chances are that this practice DID save lives even though we can never prove it!

And by the same token, when Covid-19 surfaced governments the world around imposed lock-downs because it was the SENSIBLE thing to do, and chances are that it DID prevent infections and it DID save lives... and although once again we can never calculate a preventive measure, we can use common sense to evaluate that it was a good decision regardless of the financial cost.

As for the three stooges (armed with hindsight even) going out of their way like headless chickens trying to convince everyone that preventive measures should’ve never been imposed… I’m sure glad you’re not among those making decisions for the masses!

Let me remind that they have a perfect stooge running the show in America and we all know how that worked out for them!

Lockdowns are a complete failure if eradication is the goal. It’s impossible to eradicate the virus.

If the goal is to ensure health services are not inundated, then they are successful.

Chy-na Virus is everywhere and will return to every country.

Cyprus hasn't had a single case of Chy-na virus, come to think of it neither has Greece or Europe !!

In my opinion, and that of many of my colleagues, there has been no Covid Pandemic, certainly not in the Surrey region and I have heard from other colleagues this picture is the same throughout the country. Our hospital would normally expect to see around 350,000 out patients a year. Around 95,000 patients are admitted to hospital in a normal year and we would expect to see around a similar figure, perhaps 100,000 patients pass through our A&E department. In the months from March to June (inclusive) we would normally expect to see 100,000 out patients, around 30,000 patients admitted to hospital and perhaps 30,000 pass through A&E. This year (and these figures are almost impossible to get hold of) we are over 95% down on all those numbers. In effect, the hospital has been pretty much empty for that entire period.


I'm expecting much more of this type of stuff coming out world-wide over the next year... :wink:


As sympathetic/supportive as I am regarding accusations of excessive Covid hype that looks suspiciously like yer typical CT site to me. :?

https://www.thebernician.net/corona-vir ... -genocide/

“Funded by the House of Rothschild”, “George Soros”, “Corona virus a mask for totalitarian 5G genocide”. The usual kind of stuff that stokes up the paranoia, has them salivating over the keyboard and fills them with a burning desire to get out on the net and “educate” all those sheep that can’t think for themselves. ............ If you see what I mean.


Hopefully you will find the following source more credible:

Lockdowns failed to alter the course of pandemic and are now destroying millions of livelihoods worldwide, JP Morgan study claims

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... laims.html


Sorry Tim, but the link to the article you have provided was published May 22nd. That is miles away from today’s reality 7 weeks later July 13th.


So Kiks, can you give any evidence that Lockdown has worked anywhere...?

I'd refer you to my link above about Cancer deaths in Scotland and also (once again) give you Sweden... :wink:


I think GR has answered your question, CG.

As for Sweden, it has been a complete failure when measured against it's like for like neighbours such as Finland, Norway and Denmark. Lets see if they have fared any better economically in the 2nd quarter.

You're not born a racist. You're not born a murderer. You're not born a thief but you can definitely born a thick cunt. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Europe? Are you sure. Europe is a hotspot.

I wouldn’t get comfortable if I were you. Australia didn’t have any cases and got down to 250 active cases but now we are nearing 300 new cases per day.

Cyprus and Greece will be in a worse predicament of tourists come.

What I have come to understand is this. We have active cases which are not detected. That’s because these people have no symptoms at all. But yet they have Chy-na Virus. They go to work and interact with people and infect others. It’s impossible to eradicate. Impossible.

I just wish authorities are honest. We need to find out all the facts about the Virus. Such as are we able to build immunity. If that’s the case, then herd immunity is the only way out of this. If we don’t, then we are screwed.

There are reports of a vaccine now in testing here in Australia.

You are disregarding the economic fallout and the cost that has to the community and people.

As such, Sweden might be on the right path.

Sweden did not achieve herd immunity despite not having a lockdown. The most they got was 6% of the population, and even then, the antibodies were not long lasting in the body. Many Swedes died to Coronavirus for nothing by not having a lockdown, in the gamble to achieve herd immunity.
