....is marked today with a minutes' silence in memory of all those unfortunate people who have died due to the incompetence and bungling of the government in the last 12 months. Lockdown is the result of the govt not knowing what to do, so it panicked and simply told everyone to keep away from each other.
This brought difficulties for people with long term health problems who couldn't get the medical help they desperately needed, and some of them were probably victims of this decision. It resulted in the govt paying out billions of pounds to businesses, half of which were fraudulent and are now being pursued by the police, adding to the overall cost.
Facemasks aren't necessary and serve no purpose, as was proved during the first lockdown when they were not compulsory, very few were wearing them, and the death rate dropped to near single figures.
Published figures are misleading and lacking detailed information. Some people who failed to keep an appointment for a COVID test were advised that they had tested positive, without even taking the test. Death rates are false, as we are not told how many actually died of COVID. Many people have complained that a deceased relative was certified of dying from COVID when they had died from another serious illness.
In July, PHE said that 95% of deaths were people who had one, or a combination of, heart disease, dementia or Type 1 diabetes. That is sad for them, it really is, but it is a tiny fraction of the population.
Transmission is not caused by young people as the spikes in the rates occurred when scnhools and colleges were closed. The main reason for transmission of the virus is one that dare not be spoken for fear of upsetting certain people but we all know it's spread by occupants of 2 up, 2 downs, where 3 generations live side by side.
99.9% of people will recover from COVID. The remainder are the weakest and most vulnerable who should have been protected by the govt, which should have put the billions into protecting them instead of giving people the opportunity to claim fraudulent business support grants.
There is always outrage expressed at "selfish" people who gather in large groups, but they are doing us a favour because the more they do it, the less virulent the virus will become. They know that this virus is not the killer that it's made out to be, and the figures are exaggeration in order to try and cover up the fact that the govt got it wrong. And it knows it.
The sick and the vulnerable were even denied health care in the first stages of lockdown when they were sent from hospitals into care homes, making them even more vulnerable.
This govt has been behaving like primary school teachers throughout this lockdown, along with other people, and you, my dear little things, have accepted it all, just like the primary school children that the govt thinks you are.
Apart from that, evertything's fine thanks. :o)

I agree with a lot that you've said there, but blaming it on our government? What about the actions of the governments in other countries are we to believe that the worlds governments are all plotting against the public?
Which country would you have preferred to experience the Pandemic in, 10CS?
there were 2 posts with this title, funny the one that insults the efforts of all those working against the pandemic is the one that remains. AB is strange at times.
What was in the other one?
Well the other one just insulted everyone
who criticised the government as far as I could see.
As I posted there, what with that and this, I can see the attraction of silence :-)
Overall, Germany has 50,000 less deaths than the UK.

And today, despite the vaccination success:

Active Covid cases in Germany = 169,044
Active Covid cases in the UK = 481,598
//Ive hardly posted on this site for weeks now, so I don't know what you mean by moaning about anything and everything.//

What tosh. A quick click on your profile says you've contrbuted to 17 different threads in the last week and start 4 new ones in the last few days.
Sunk - you missed out "so far" from your post - there's no point in making international comparisons while we are in the middle of things - it's a marathon not a sprint
also 10cs, 12 of your last 20 posts have been moaning about covid
and a proportion more have been moaning full stop. I'm only surprised theres been no moaning about womens sports in that
that's the way sunk, never miss a chance to knock your own country.
Sick of the hysteria surrounding the number of deaths in the UK compared to other countries. Every country is different in many ways that could have affected the death numbers. The numbers are just being used for political reasons.
He's not Tora, he's knocking the government. Although I disagree with him, he's perfectly entitled to criticize the acting government without being, as you so love to say, Anti-British.
it does make me wonder *if* labour had got in at the last election, whether any criticism of them by TTT would have made him anti-british?
I'd understand if these rissoles had ant better suggestions!

bednobs: "it does make me wonder *if* labour had got in at the last election, whether any criticism of them by TTT would have made him anti-british? " - approximately a year ago when the crisis started I changed my avatar to a dove with an olive branch, I proposed a cease fire and that we all work together for the common good. 2 Questions, how long do you think it lasted? Who do you think broke the cease fire?
That's fair enough, and the main reason I give your lot the benefit of doubt when it comes to the pandemic. Who says anyone could've done better? SKS doesn't seem like the man to rally the nation, and his predecessor would've been running around shouting "Don't panic" like Corporal Jones.
mozz: "SKS doesn't seem like the man to rally the nation, and his predecessor would've been running around shouting "Don't panic" like Corporal Jones" - and yet there are people on here who would still rather have Agent Cob or Captain H running the show! beggars belief!
Captain H?
Starmer has been giving his different opinions for a year.
Johnson usually rubbishes them and then eventually u-turns to do precisely what Starmer said weeks ago.

For some unknown reason, Tora has christened him Captain Hindsight, for that.
