So, coronavirus...

[Rinkals]

The standard expected from all posters is duly noted. I will adhere.

TBH Bimbo you seem to be the only one on here that is a recipient of low standards. Ever wondered why?

Rinkals
Judging an entire nation because of one person is UKIP type xenophobia. Something i thought you despised?

I don't.

I spent 20 years in the UK from 1984 to 2004.

I do despise xenophobia, though, and it's something I encountered a lot of when I was in the UK.

Just to add that I don't revile all English people: just those of Bimbo's ilk.

Bimbo is pretty much unique, but it's mostly an Internet persona.
It's true there are some horrible people that live here in the UK, racists, arrogant, hateful even. But that is true of every nation on the planet. Most people who live here are alright.
You do seem to have a particularly negative view of us, it comes over like that anyway. I can't speak for others, but I'm lovely.

I’m a knob head in person to be fair...... I’d be politer but my views are my views.

Though I’m not a racist , xenophobic, or bigot at all.

Some people don’t actually want another view being propagated and try to shut it down that’s all.

How is it even possible to hold such an event in England let alone an area that is under a Level 3 lockdown?

“Sensible”. That’s the whole problem with Boris’s approach - trust the public to be sensible. The public are not sensible, they’re selfish, stupid cunts.

Giving people credit for, "common sense", is a recipe for disaster.

Of course; if a few politicians, (& advisors), had gotten the bullet for pissing all over the advice; things might have been different.

At least people would know what the limits of their own common sense were.

The UK and the US do not deserve the vaccines. Turned out to be selfish, entitled, moronic cunts.
They are very lucky.

I said sensible and did not mention "common sense" if I meant that I would have written the phrase.

Again , I’ve not described it as anything mild. That’s again your invention which you’re then arguing with, that type of arguing isn’t honest and quite frankly an irrelevance to the subject of viral fatigue.

You have. You may not have used that term, but you have spent months now playing down any and all aspects of this virus to project it's a much smaller thing than what the authorities and posters are presenting..

“You have, you may not have” ..... dear lord

The official policy is to present a deliberately frightening story to bias adherence to the “rules”. And the statistics regarding the seriousness of the virus are there for everyone to actually see. Every poll shows the impression regarding the disease vs the reality are out of kilter.

As I now have to state with every post to avoid this constant accusation is “serious for some” ..... in population terms though infection is largely without consequences.

[eldanielfire]

The problem is if people of the far right just accepted the vaccine, accepted that the state is helping them, and along with the furlough and a hundred other things the state has done.... and they accepted all this without protesting, the ideology of the right would be dead.
During the most important catastrophes, from the 2008 banking crisis to this, the state (socialism)has rescued society again and again and again.

The issue is the over simplicity of thinking anti-Vaccers are far right with illusions that medical practice attacks individual freedoms. Adoption of anti-vacc stances on the right has been relatively recently. The main core of anti-vaccination dialogue came from white, liberal enclaves of university educated families and is still residing there.

This largely because the anti-Vacc backlash of the past 2 decades or so is sourced back to the Andrew Wakefield study where he interviewed a total of 12 people, but the media jumped on the report and magnified the rather poor science in it. Despite the fact reports that literally cover the data of millions of children have been published since refuting it, the idea still has it's claws deep in the social psyche sadly.

Also for accuracy, socialism isn't the state giving out bailouts. Socialism hasn't rescued society time and time again. Socialism is the state controlling the services and means of production. I'm not saying unfettered capitalism is the answer. Nordic countries show Capitalist societies which the state provides great services to support and regulate the capitalism and creates a fair platform work best . E.g. Canada and the Nordic countries. That doesn't make them socialist.

[eldanielfire]

I honestly don't care what you stand for; what you post on here is reprehensible enough for me not to want to know.

Bimbo clearly stands for a particular strand of politics. It's evident in almost everything he posts about politics. However he doesn't like to be labelled for it and likes to just be vague enough to try and get away with it.

It's also very much an Adam Smith model of how an economy should work.

How does anyone present an accurate picture of the whole disease when all you care about is Deaths by Covid. You flatly refuse to accept that Long Covid exists or that someone who doesn't die from the disease could have serious health consequences anyway.

Covid is serious. For everyone.

It clearly isn’t . Not by any measure .

And I don’t dismiss long COVID , I call it by what it is .

The sense I always get with the nordics is the Anglo-American left and right both misunderstand them. The right has less to fear from it than they expect and the left would be more uncomfortable with it than they realise.

Get away with what exactly? Be precise as you dislike people being “vague”.

The problem is it’s just not honest to say everyone is at risk, it’s a similar position to the anti drug campaign where “drugs kill” message was largely ignored by the young precisely because in their experience they didn’t.

Remember when the Swedish chaps thought in May that they had reached herd immunity? There have been many misunderstandings about their approach but that aspect of it turned out to be bollocks.

[Sandstorm]

Herd immunity works. Unfortunately in Covid's case it'll take maybe 4-5 years and kill everyone above the age of 80 or a BMI of 35. A large percentage of everyone else will suffer long-term vascular harm.

Even the Swedes can't accept that.

“A large percentage”

It’s not even killing a large % of the over 80’s ......

That’s not true. Why are you this dishonest ? What purpose does it serve to over estimate the issue?

Who mentioned killing except you? I said "suffer long-term vascular harm".

I know you are bouncing between 2 Boards and several Reddit threads, but try to read & understand what someone posts before posting your own crap.

[Enzedder]

The 'large percentage' he wrote about did not mention deaths. Only you linked that - perhaps just after the red mist descended when you noticed that someone else was wrong on the internet.

I quoted the whole post , it was therefore pretty clear who mentioned killing. Some hoop to leap through there.

The other clue tying it all in was the word “even”.....

Perhaps taking your own advice and actually reading before trying (dismally) to be clever would be a better use of your energy.
