Carry On Panicking......

[10ClarionSt]

.......because all the measures against Covid haven't worked, with the exception of the vaccine. Even the govt ads on the radio say it's spreading fast. This proves that facemasks are a complete waste of time. They weren't compulsory during the first lockdown, and the figures dropped rapidly. The latest measures have proved ineffective because the radio announcements say so; it's spreading fast. Facemasks are useless.

All covid testing centres should be closed down. Stop the testing, then re-open them for vaccinations only. Remove all restrictions because they haven't worked from day one. Some city centres have mobile matrix signs saying: Covid 19 is still here. Well, it will be here for good. It aint going away.

Chris Whitty delivers his messages in a Ian Macdonald-esque style, telling people to get boosted! This man needs a boost, from what I can see, as he enjoys his time in the sun. He's the warm-up man for The Lutine Bell.

All the coverage, all the announcements and press conferences are doing nothing but panicking people. In 2 years time we'll be having announcements about Plan R, or Plan S or Plan T. It's here folks, and it's here to stay.

The wokey, wimpy, sanctimonious lockdown lovers will be along shortly with the usual gubbins about how they are careful and we should all be like them. But I say stop panicking, because that's what happening, verging on hysteria now.

Your fear is their power.

I think it's a mixture. As usual. Everyone has had it bashed into their brains for nearly 2 years now. Those that will listen and learn, will and have done so. But, some never will, no matter what.
And the problem is, the continual battering, is doing damage to the wrong people- those that are already worried.
At some point, this constant fearmongering and bullying does have to stop... information should be widely available, but we are more likely to end up with covid fatigue, crying wolf at each day being an "emergency" and frankly, just rebellion in the end. Not the effect they are wanting.

// because all the measures against Covid haven't worked, with the exception of the vaccine//

then " all the measures against Covid haven't worked, " isnt true is it?
jesus .

never mind - - - crash

[Peter Pedant]

oh I see - - - remove the restrictions because none have worked

you cant say the truth, "most may not have worked or cd ve worked better" because the argument then fails -- oh lardy dah

[roadman]

you get a vaccine before going to india from the uk because having the vaccine will make you immune from certain illnesses so why is the covid vaccine not supposed to make you immune and then yes what does it do if it doesnt make you immune? I do know it makes symptoms much less worse which is very good means hospitalisation is much less so less strain on our nhs

This again?

[Canary42]

10CS logic: People are still getting killed in car crashes in spite of wearing seat belts so evidence suggests they're not effective, so stop wearing them.

shell my sweet - yes this again....
but hey soon there will be a Brexit thread for you !

Agreed. Unless you live in a dictatorship, the government operates on the basis of a social contract. Mandates and restrictions only work so far as people continue to willingly comply. When lots of people simply refuse to wear masks, the mandates will disappear very quickly.
