Lockdown Imminent

The more pertinent question (which can’t be answered) is has he passed the virus on.

As much as John thinks its all about him it isn’t

How do you pass on what you have not contracted?

How does John know he hasn’t had it? Or indeed passed it on

Here's a 70 year old who ignored the first lockdown, and will ignore any subsequent one.

Older people have a greater chance of dying at any point than younger people, regardless of pandemics, real or imagined.

What's your fine total up to now then?

Or did you mean you moan loudly about the lockdown while obediently following it?

£0.00.

No I studiously ignored it, making “unnecessary” car journeys and meeting friends and family wherever and whenever I felt like it. I confess to protesting loudly about it too.

You sound lovely

Has John contracted the virus?

I may have had it several weeks prior to lockdown; felt vey unwell for two days, a little poorly for about a week, absolutely fine after a fortnight. I appreciate that some, including my much younger wife suffered worse, but 44,000 deaths is a tiny %age of the whole population. Lockdown was a gross, and incorrect over reaction to something which was already known to be relatively harmless to the overwhelming majority.

I rather suspect you're on a deliberate windup, and most of what you claim can be studiously ignored.

I can understand the windup in some ways when you're being supported and encouraged by someone else just as keen to wind others up.

I think John and his cohorts may have had different experience had they been exposed to the general public.

I did a lot of walking, not much else to go out for.

Does anyone think masks will become mandatory in public buildings?

I would have liked to see him protest loudly to a nurse that came home in tears because he or she was in pain having had to wear PPE for 12 hours.

I don't, obviously, what exactly is your point?

Quite, so stop accusing him of spreading the virus.

He didn't do any such thing, you know it, as does anyone else reading the thread.

You could of course back up the accusation?

If you try hard you will be able to read his response to that question. If you are struggling come back and I'm sure someone can help you.

I didn't so stop talking utter twaddle.

Itll be interesting to know our infections per million to compare to other countries and how that relates to our deaths per million.
Itll be an interesting gauge to how good each countries health care system is. We didnt overwhelm ours so we should have done very well, right.....


Keep on clapping.

Maybe, maybe not; neither we, nor any other Nation can be certain how many were infected, and over what period. My guess is almost everybody, over the past year, but a guess is all it is.

Which shows our NHS as pretty st given its sole purpose in life is covid and 2 fingers up to everything else.
Thats only tested infections though, hopefully we'll get the full picture at some point in the future.

Your guess is that we've all had it already?

Wow, this thread has turned into a bile infested hate fest.

Now, maybe you can all give each other a big virtual SD hug and move on.

Pretty annoying reading this as many people see their business suffer due to lockdowns designed to protect you and your generation.

The amount of people delayed cancer treatments and screening due to the nhs focusing on protecting the old, the amount of people being made redundant all over the country due to lockdowns and then reading that some of the people it’s all been for are actually completely ignoring any advice and boasting about it on the internet.
