O/T. The Government's handling of Covid

[Andy_Faber]

I shall avoid the traditional rear gunner observation but the conclusion to the first post you approve of is:

"Looking at these figures its difficult for any sane person to come to the conclusion the government has ****ed it up!"

This seems diametrically opposite to your long standing belief, or indeed what I would conclude from the numbers........

Not the first time Lord Swale has done this.

One can tell the relative sentience of a person by the way they pick up on a missing word, a misspelling or some other minor infraction, rather than respond to the argument.

I'm not surprised your perplexed, after all you seem to base your opinions on a very narrow evidence base, anecdotal sources which must make life a bit perplexing when the reality is so different from your perception.

'One' can also tell how tightly wrapped a person is by their lack of humour, especially when it is lightheartedly directed at themselves

Just by way of help:

Tightly wrapped: obsessed, or tense, tied up with ones own thoughts or concerns.

Funny whenever you being nit-picking or racist or bigoted, you claim humour, mm you are funny, but perhaps not in the way you intend?

How would anybody be aware that you had omitted a word and whether that was intentional or accidental?

Much in the same way GP recently, he claims purposely, misquoted Heller and does it regularly. Only people who know him personally would be aware of that............

Anyone with any sense would, if the cap fits?

NL rates rising too. We also get told about the places where that is happening and it's not all over the country. There are 5 areas where rates are the worst and they haven't changed since my previous post on this. That's the poorer parts of the 4 big cities, populated mainly by non-Caucasian immigrants, a good % of whom are Muslim and don't speak the language. They haven't got the message as they don't understand what's on the news/in the papers and/or they are against the vax because of the rumours that it has porcine or human foetus derivatives in it. The 5th area being the bible belt where they strictly follow the religious teachings of a few hundred years ago and believe "God" will protect them. The town of Staphorst which is probably the "most religious" town in the country has the highest infection rates at the moment.

What is common over the entire country is that the two groups showing the most infections are school aged children and the 25 to 30 age group.

I've just had my 3rd jab, so UK gov can't be doing too bad on that front.
One major fk up though, is that faulty pcr lab.
A colleague of mine (who thankfully for me, works at another office) is just starting to return to work, his whole household, many colleagues, and other acquaintances have been infected, his wife, and he believes others, having received a faulty "all clear" pcr test. Frightening how quickly it can spread, and it doesn't help with fundamental fk ups like that too.

Fair play on the vaccination front...at first, Ramshank. Where initial vaccinations are concerned they did a decent job.
As far as the 3rd booster jab is concerned however...this jab is meant to be given six months after the second jab. The original vaccines were given just before last Christmas so booster jabs should have been started by late June/early July.
I heard several times on the radio today that so far 5,000,000 booster jabs have been given out. We’re now more than half way through October and ten months on since the first jabs were done so that seems very, very poor to me, a sentiment which all too sadly our latest figures would seem to confirm.

Which dodgy PCR lab is this? I had an all clear from Randox on a PCR recently and have been feeling ****e ever since? Have always wondered what the approval system for such private contractors is. and how they are benchmarked. Would seem to be a great scam opportunity, offer them for £30 a go, dont test anything, chuck the samples away and just send a negative result - with the odd positive one thrown in for credibility!
