I give you all of that, but after looking at and studying the stats on a daily basis for the last 12 months, I dispute that Lockdown is the answer, it isn't, and neither is mask wearing.

    That's all I'm saying mate, Covid is a problem, masks and lockdowns are not the solution, and I despise a government, opposition and media that lies, manipulates the stats, and says they are.
    I know that sinkov , I - like you had been so careful but managed to let my guard down for 5 minutes literally no mask or sanitizer and lo and behold I caught it.

    I completely appreciate that the whole thing probably hasn’t been handled best , however nobody knew how to deal with this and let’s be honest still don’t , other than we can get control of this in a lockdown.

    I met a lady this last week who works for the nhs ( she had the jab weeks back ) but her husbands a driver and has contracted the virus , they’ve told her there isn’t much hope of him coming home again - he’ was a fit man at a non elderly 54 years - there the bits that get me and yet all people want to know is what’s happend to flu cases.

    I posted it before and I honestly believe if people had contracted it and had been as poorly as I was and my wife was they would all have a different view.

    A year of COVID lockdowns has revived Israel’s kibbutz movement.

    https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/a-...ovement-662522

    In the fall, after months of being restricted to their 540-square-foot apartment, the couple decided that they were done with city life. They applied to become members of Kibbutz Mevo Hama, a small communal farm two hours to the north, far from any city, with about 500 residents. Now, even as Israel reopens, having vaccinated most of its population, E and R are still making the move. And they’re planning to buy a house that’s nearly three times the size of their apartment.

    “I think this coronavirus time really challenged us regarding the type of life we want to have,” Eshkol, 33, said. “It showed us that you never know what’s going to happen. The whole world changed, and we decided to use this to create a positive change in our lives.”
    COVID, and the societal upheaval it sparked, has prompted a wave of Israelis to look again at living on a kibbutz, a rural way of life that was once seen as a relic of Israel’s socialist past. Tens of thousands of Israelis have applied for membership in kibbutzim over the past year, according to Nir Meir, secretary general of the Kibbutz Movement, the umbrella group that includes most of Israel’s 279 kibbutzim.

    “During the pandemic, our kids were always in the apartment and they were looking for things to do,” said Aviv S, a software engineer whose family is in the process of moving from Yavne, a central Israeli city, to a kibbutz. “We were thinking about finding a place to raise our kids close to nature where they can be more independent, and this made our decision.”

    Kibbutz members also committed to a strict socialist ideology, eating meals in mass dining halls and raising children in collective homes where they lived apart from their parents. But by the 1980s, many kibbutzim had accumulated substantial debt, and young people wanted to make their own way in a country that was departing from its socialist roots and privatizing its economy. “My dad was excited about kibbutz values and community,” she said, “while my mom said it was too much of everyone being in everyone else’s business.”
    Facing a declining population and poor economic prospects, many kibbutzim privatized their factories and farms. They also built new housing developments on their grounds that were rented out to yuppie families who at times did not become members, allowing them to enjoy the kibbutz lifestyle with none of the perceived drawbacks of socialism.

    In 2000, some 117,000 people lived on kibbutzim, according to Israeli government figures. This year, Meir said, they have a total population of 182,000 — larger than ever. He calls it “a huge renewal of the kibbutzim.” Obtaining kibbutz membership, according to Meir, generally includes an interview process along with a year living as a candidate on the kibbutz before a vote is taken for membership. Kibbutzim can also review financial records. At Ein Hashlosha, for example, candidates must receive positive votes from two-thirds of the members to gain acceptance.

    Two of the newer members are Dor and Liora Ben Tzur, who moved to Ein Hashlosha in 2019 after graduating from college and live there with their 19-month-old toddler, Avishai. They are enthusiastic about the kibbutz despite occasional rocket attacks from Gaza that send them running into a bomb shelter in their house. From the time an outdoor siren sounds, they have just 15 seconds to get to the shelter. D and L, lived in a building, and they don’t have anywhere to go with the children. All the parks are closed, you can’t go outside, and here on the kibbutz the children are running around, playing in the mud with the cows. It’s just lovely.”

    Anti-maskers in Arizona burn medical masks amid COVID pandemic - watch.
    Health officials have pleaded with the public to wear masks to limit the spread of the virus. Still, the issue has become politically divisive in the United States.

    https://www.jpost.com/health-science...c-watch-662603

    Protesters in Phoenix, Arizona, gathered outside the Maricopa County Public Health Building and burned face masks on Friday to demonstrate against COVID-19 restrictions.
    According to a local CBS affiliate, the group of people at the demonstration were opposed to COVID-19 guidelines, including mask wearing.

    Health officials have pleaded with the public to wear masks to limit the spread of the virus. Still, the issue has become politically divisive in the United States, unlike many other countries that have seen far lower rates of infection and death.
    Former US President Donald Trump minimized the need for coronavirus restrictions, including wearing masks, and predicted the pathogen would disappear "like a miracle."

    If wearing masks is the answer, what the f*ck is the problem?

    Maybe good news for you BT? ''No jab ,no jab!''

    Israeli company says oral COVID-19 vaccine on its way
    “An oral COVID-19 vaccine would eliminate several barriers to rapid, wide-scale distribution, potentially enabling people to take the vaccine themselves at home.”

    https://www.jpost.com/health-science...its-way-662712

    An Israeli-American pharmaceutical company is preparing to launch a Phase I clinical trial for what could become the world’s first oral COVID-19 vaccine.
    The vaccine is based on Oramed’s “POD” oral delivery technology and Premas’s vaccine technology.
    Premas has been working on developing a vaccine against the novel coronavirus since March.

    “An oral COVID-19 vaccine would eliminate several barriers to rapid, wide-scale distribution, potentially enabling people to take the vaccine themselves at home, while ease of administration is critical today to accelerate inoculation rates, an oral vaccine could become even more valuable in the case that a COVID-19 vaccine may be recommended annually like the standard flu shot.”

    The company completed a pilot animal study and found that the vaccine promoted the development of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies and Immunoglobulin A (IgA). Blah, blah, blah, etc! BT , after that you can go to footy matches? :-)

    I couldn't give a single toss what some poxy money grabbing chemical pushing "Company" thinks Balam - and shame on you for advancing their nefarious cause...do they pay well ?




    and now...to some proper news.

    am sure the majority of us here have been sent the NHS Vaccine leaflet (a guide for adults) It Fails to inform - on the differing "vaccines" , their ingredients, the short and unprecidented trial time, the emergency powers that were called upon to allow an a unlicensed product to be pushed on Millions of people - What it does tell us You should have the COVID-19 vaccine if you are:....it then lists healthcare workers etc and goes on to list a number of health problems (the vulnerable gruop) saying nothing of the healthy, with properly functioning immune systems - which it wouldn't, but why would it / because thats what were told it does...boost a weak immune response - Ergo, there's no good reason to have it !...unless you were hoping for a foreign holiday ?

    remember when Whitty said - a minority of the unfortunate minority

    who was listening ?

    now look at this from NHS Scotland.



    64,000+ deaths - 6800+ died with Covid - but only 169 where Covid-19 is the Sole Cause of Death (no other comorbidity listed on the death certificate)

    apply the same rate to the whole of the U.K...and we'd have approximately 3.400 deaths as Covid (not the Flu or other) being the singular cause.

    these protests are a little short on People - I think.

    I haven't seen or read anything about those stats in the MSM norder, but I don't see everything, I could have missed it. Do you think it actually has been reported on BBC and Sky, and I have missed it ?
