Main Coronavirus / Covid-19 Discussion Thread

Meanwhile in Sweden. Now one of the lowest infection rates in Europe. Below that of Denmark. Many now believing they have hit hard immunity. No lock down and no masks.

Also can someone explain to me why we didn't have mad panic, lock downs, economic destruction, and masks in 2018?

Is it because the media didn't tell us too?

Wonder what will happen if the Russian vaccine turns out to be successful.

The people saying "vaccines are trouble free, should be mandatory and you are killing all the children if you dont take them" are pretty much the same kind of breed that are saying "Russia = Satan".

You mean people who pay attention to the world and what is going on in it?

If the Russia vaccine is a success then we should include it in our options (I believe we should be sticking eggs in multiple baskets, it's not "Oxford or bust"). However, I would want it to be proven safe by the authorities in this country, not just using it because Russia says it's safe.

Israel first country to go into a second lockdown

Australia is effectively turning into a police totalitarian state. Obscene how people are being treated. This is one of my main concerns with the way things are going, its a an easy slope for us (or anyone else) to end up similar.

See uk residents now being encouraged to grass up there neighbours if more than 6 people together. Plenty will.

So you are saying if a pandemic happens we should have a lockdown?

I think the people will revolt in this country if there is another lockdown, I certainly will. Unless there is vaccine very close any lockdown will be total ruin for the country and many others, i said it on another thread, but masks outdoors, curfews or a second total lockdown are where I will draw my limit. And I say this as someone that has followed the rules since day one of this nonsense.

I’m already absolutely appalled that they aren’t making children exempt from the rules to meet in more than groups of 6, absolutely outrageous.

As opposed to paranoid weed heads who have a thing for foreign tyrants?

Nah as opposed to people who actually think about who the messenger is and what narrative it wants.

what exactly is that narrative, and for what purpose?

 

[Swansman]

what exactly is that narrative, and for what purpose?

Obviously a very complex question, but the basics of it:

Western and pro-western countries are good and civilised and non-western countries are evil and brutal, so we might one day have to go there and bomb their countries, put their natural resources into the hands of our oligarchs and install a pro-western leader so that they can be as good and moral and civilised as we are.

Can we keep this to Covid-19 discussions, please.

ok, where does covid come into this?

all very well ...you know who the head of the WHO is ...?? communist ,terrorist......pour qoi...??

Only in the sense I previously mentioned: it would be interesting to see the public reaction (and possible consequences) if the Russian vaccine was suddenly seen as the best thing since the creation of dogs. How would people ract to - perhaps mandatory - injections of "Sputnik V" after getting told throughout their lives that Russia is bad and evil?

I’m saying why didn’t anyone really know or change any part of their life and why didn’t we trash our economy when huge numbers of people were dying because of flu?

What like "maybe we should check these new vaccines ourselves instead of just shoving them in everyone based on what Putin says"?
