The Corona Virus

"Member of Independent SAGE Who Warned Against Reopening is Race Adviser with No Medical Qualification"

"One of Independent SAGE’s “experts”, who on Tuesday criticised the Government for not delaying the latest easing of lockdown restrictions, is a social scientist-cum-race adviser with no medical qualifications. Dr Zubaida Haque, a founding member of the group, told Good Morning Britain that the third step of the Government’s roadmap out of lockdown should have been stalled because of the Indian Covid variant – not only to protect the unvaccinated but also to protect the vaccinated, who she claimed could still be vulnerable to this strain of the virus."

This is the level the media has sunk to in it's coverage of this virus. Why is this woman being invited onto national television to comment on a subject she has no more knowledge of than me, BT, Norder or Army ? When are we going to get our invites ?

Just more media scaremongering innit, Project Fear rolls on unabated.

My missus went to her usual weight loss club this morning because it was their first 'normal' meeting for quite some time.
As usual, I went off on the bus to pick up my great niece's dog who I walk the 5 miles back to our house where he spends the rest of the day.
I walked into the kitchen and on the table were two blue and white boxes ------Covid19 do-it-yourself test kits!
When I asked the missus about them, she told me that they were given to her by a council official in the town's car park!
Evidently this lady told her that they were giving them out so that people could have peace of mind!

I am very peaceful of mind and body tonight because I shoved it up my arse and I seem to be clear of all problems.

I still struggle to come to terms with an apparently deadly virus, for which you have to take a test to know you've got it.

Come on sinkov, it's all part of the plan! You take a test and then you have to earn a degree so that you can join SAGE and pontificate about the virus. Bloody hell you need a degree before you can doanything these days ---is the Fire Service the same or do they still appreciate that people can do the job without having one?

The Fire Service has gone the same way Sub, when I got in everyone had the same tests/exams to pass, even graduates, and everyone had the same training course and started at the bottom as a fireman, or firefighter, as they have to be called now. There are different entry levels now, also certain categories can jump the queue, so to speak, I'll leave it to your imagination to work out just which categories.

"The widow of a "kind and caring" Co-op worker says her husband took his own life because he couldn't cope with the social restrictions imposed during the pandemic. Simon Gibbs lived in Layham and worked at the East of England Co-op's Wherstead Park centre, until he was reported missing on Wednesday, September 2, 2020. Early the next morning, on Thursday, September 3, police were called by dog walkers to the Nacton shoreline under the Orwell Bridge where a body was found, later to be identified as the 49-year-old."

Who fecking cares, just stay at home and wear your muzzles.

So sad how things are these days. Need a degree for this, that and the other. experience counts for absolutely nothing. My son has 30 years experience as a Paramedic, however, if he wants to progress further he was told many years ago that he would have to get a degree. His response was "What good would a degree have been at the Paddington rail disaster, the bombings in London, the Kings Cross underground fire etc., etc?"
He has not bothered to pay for study to obtain a degree in his own time, particularly as he commutes from Sheffield to London to do his job. strangley, he concentrates on the same thing he has done for the past 30 years ---trying to save lives!

I would roughly calculate 20% of my entire lifetime earnings have gone on funding my offspring's degree education.

I must say the expense has not really been worth it, but they all seemed to enjoy the university culture, which usually included getting pi$$ed.

A variant such as this will be the next excuse to lock us all up again.

Universities are fountains of knowledge to which students go to drink..
