The new Covid variant

[rambaggie]

Well well well, what have we here.. ‘the worst ever’ variant coming from South Africa causing a major concern. As predicted.

What a stupid statement. Everybody wants to get back to normality. Even the corrupt governments around the world.

Stupid you might think, even in your own admission referring to ‘corrupt governments’..well I think that says it all and how you just failed in trying to take a pop at me.

Lockdown zealots will thrive again…

Well Peppa pig is giving a press conference later and could easily use this scariant as an excuse to implement plan B - the one where we work from home, wear pieces of filthy cloth and show your papers for large crowd events

Went to Marks & Spencer earlier and loads of oldies all masked up again. Can somebody tell them without putting the mask over your nose it's about as good as Hugill in front of goal!

Peppa said he will review the nonsense mask wearing shyte in 3 weeks, like 1 week before Christmas. Well I think we know what's gonna happen then don't we?

Utterly pathetic We are never returning to normal, until we all stand up to this sheer insanity and tyrannical control. There is over 90 per cent of people in this country who now have covid antibodies. This though will still never be enough for these clowns. What if we were all fully vaccinated, do you think that would be the end? Well NO just ask Gibraltar.

React to a new variant = clowns
Don’t react to new variant = clowns

They can’t really win can they?

If face masks and a PCR test when entering the country is ‘sheer insanity’ and ‘tyrannical control’, then I’d dread to think of your views on the actions a country will take when a healthcare system collapses.

It’s all a bit snowflakey to me. Just get on with it.

90 per cent anti bodies - PCR tests equal thousands of false positives - Sweden always a case in point - Face masks Don't effing work. Our healthcare system is always creaking in winter. As someone else as repeatedly said on here why is there no extra capacity in hospitals to deal with this? Face masks are always a form of control as its a reminder that there is supposedly a pandemic.

Think Boris was always in a damned if he does/damned if he doesn't position when covid first came along and for sure he got some things wrong (e.g. his early attitude to care home staff and patients). Have never viewed covid as a pandemic such as Spanish flu for example, and much of the govts concerns were to protect a run down nhs that could not cope. That said, is anyone on here denying its existence or denying that measures such as social distancing, handwashing and-yes -wearing masks do not make any difference at all? We know the tests are far from 100% accurate as we know that masks are not guaranteed to work , but surely common sense says such measures are reasonable and help avoid lockdowns?
