Grassing up a Covid **** taker.

You have to look at this in a balanced way.
What if the Government said 'Eh, it's just a virus. No difference from ones we have seen before. Just carry on like normal and we will see in a couple of months if it has made any significant impact' Would the death rate be any different? Or did a lockdown actually save more life's then if we didn't bother?
The government reacted to scientific advice, based on what they know this virus is, and what they’re fairly sure it’s potential is. The jury is out as to whether the virus has actually reached its full potential, but they are dealing with it as though it has, better safe than sorry.What if the Government said 'Eh, it's just a virus.

Getting back to Covid piss takers for a minute. I was sat within ear shot of a guy sat at a table in my local ‘spoons earlier. He was getting all frothy mouthed about one of his neighbours having a family gathering, “THEY HAD EIGHT PEOPLE IN THERE, EIGHT, NOT SIX, BLOODY EIGHT” yeah, I’m not sure that’s a world ending scenario to be fair. It’s true that it is as ‘not allowed / illegal’ as not isolating upon return from a COVID-19 st listed country, but I know which one would (has) bother(ed) me more.
At last a Covid piss taker / a large ( more than 6 ) group get(s) what’s coming to him / them. Apologies for the wail link, but this exact sort of thing ( the ‘The law’ doesn’t apply to me )is something that’s been gripping my merde ( especially on the tube ) for ages.

I actually know of a Post Office whos manager went away, came back knowing that he was exposed to it, went back to work knowing that he had it and subsequently spread it to the staff there - He knew what he was doing and his attitude was "fk it".
The Post Office was temporarily closed because of this (Scotter Road Post Office)...
I hope he gets a walloping fine, and is sacked on the spot.The Post Office was temporarily closed because of this (Scotter Road Post Office)...
It’s day one of the ‘enhanced COVID-19 regs’ and already the idiot “I ain’t gettin on no plane” brigade are seemingly out in force. I was having lunch in a decent(ish) establishment, where you are now required by law, to wear face coverings when not sat down. Six people decided it wasn’t for them, the management pointed the new law out to them, suddenly they “no speaky the English” despite having been sat “speaking the English” for the previous half an hour. FFS, there’s no hope.
I was dining out last night, with a couple of friends, everyone in the restaurant was doing as asked, they were pretty much all wearing a face covering whilst moving about the place, and generally being sensible. Then a group of six ( I’m guessing ) 20 something’s walked in, refused to wear a face covering, all claimed “anxiety innit, and you can’t do nuffink” then crammed together, moved seating around, and generally behaved like massive gunts. The management did eventually boot them out, but not before they’re been roaming around and being complete tossers for a good half an hour. It was too late by then. This is exactly the sort of st that’s going to keep the issues coming.

I agree that those with a financial interest in any upcoming vaccine should be distanced from the whole debacle cough *vallance* cough, because people may think that they are cranking up the fear factor, in order to profit from the demand for their vaccine, when it becomes available ( perish the thought ).There were a couple of massive idiots in an O’Neills I was eating at earlier today. They were walking about with no face coverings, shouting and basically being mahoosive knob ends. The manager asked them to either cover their faces or leave. One of them pulled out a face mask and put it on top of his head. They were both swiftly ejected from the premises. Good on the management I say. Most people in most places I find myself in are getting the message now, that’s a good thing in my opinion.

Have you seen in the press today that different lockdown rules are being applied to different constituencies even when the rate of new cases is higher in those constituencies than the ones being locked down harshly? Guess which constituencies are not being locked down! And some are regionally very close to those areas that have significant lockdowns. It's a dangerous political farce designed to benefit the incumbents and their mates who don't give a toss about the damage they are doing to the British people and their health/economy.
It’s fuel for the ‘national lockdown is necessary’ fire. I’d still make sure that the relevant people were made aware if someone was blatantly taking the piss though. There are going to be sone genuine misunderstandings, but blatant piss taking deserves the consequences.Have you seen in the press today that different lockdown rules are being applied to different constituencies even when the rate of new cases is higher in those constituencies than the ones being locked down harshly?

The problem now, is that you have a lot of people not taking it seriously enough / taking the massive piss / not distancing / doing as legally required, but those people tend not to be the ones who will suffer bad consequences. The ones who will be most badly effected, are more likely to be following the rules. What we’re currently seeing is that there’s a much bigger delay in the virus reaching the more vulnerable people, but it is now starting to get a hold in that part of the population. Now if the dheads who haven’t been doing as they were told, had been, the virus would be so disjointed, that it wouldn’t be prevalent enough to cause the looming disaster. However, that didn’t happen, and now we’re going to see the consequences (again). The longer a lot of people don’t do as they’re told, the longer this virus is going to be in circulation, and causing real issues, and we’ll all have to bear the consequences. As for ‘herd immunity’ that’s ‘virus generation specific’ the virus is mutating, so any ‘herd immunity’ from the first generation of virus, is meaningless for subsequent generations of virus. The places / territories where control of the virus has been established / maintained, are typically places with low population densities ( particularly of vulnerable aged / conditioned people) and where people have been doing as they were told.

You cannot complain and point fingers when millions of low risk people who have had their year ruined want to get on with their lives..
I call them ‘entitled *idiots*’ the fact that we’re all in the same boat, and that they actually can’t just carry on like they used to seems to be a bit of a difficult concept for them to grasp.This Is pretty much them. Well unfortunately life isn’t ‘fair’ the sooner they get that through their thick skulls the better.
*idiots* is a substitute word for the actual word I use.

Well we know that deaths should rise marginally at least as they will every winter for a respiratory disease. And of course Flu and Pneumonia etc will also increase and kill more as with every winter.. In the same way that ICU numbers will increase over winter - just ask any ICU consultant (I did)...... But they won't rocket up as was predicted by the lockdown lovers. What we also know is that lockdowns do not prevent deaths but simply kick them down the road, and we will also see those deaths come to the fore, but not to the extent as in March because sadly most of the really, really infirm have already died.
But what I am most looking forward to is ascertaining whether PHE does indeed start including flu/pneumonia deaths in with CV19 or not....
The “really infirm” that have already died, will be replaced by new “really infirm”. The predicted re infections will further complicate things, we are in for a very rough ride this winter. However professor van damme is of the opinion that an effective vaccine is going to be delivered before the end of this December. He’s the only one of the experts I have any time for, so hopefully he’s right on this one.But what I am most looking forward to is ascertaining whether PHE does indeed start including flu/pneumonia deaths in with CV19 or not....

The Covid deniers will keep trying to swerve this, without realising that the positives to deaths translation latency we are seeing, compared to the first wave, is because we now have control measures in place ( hands, face, space and boompsy daisy) and some people are actually doing it as well.Gassing Station | Speed, Plod & the Law | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
