I take anything this cunt says with a solitary grain of salt, so please can someone tell me that this is fake? For fuck sake.

[Don]

Related tweets has led me to Peter Ebdon's twitter and what he has become :D

Hearing more and more people who are eligible for a booster but are deciding against it. One particular couple who had bought fully into the lockdown and fear bollocks and got the offical merch to prove it the first time round too.

[Yevrah]

It's a shame that idiot shares my worries about SCIENCE being a cult, but then you see that and, well...

[randomlegend]

I'm not sure when the Kaiser Chiefs became the official representatives of SCIENCE. Whatever SCIENCE is.

[Yevrah]

I wouldn't say they're official representatives of SCIENCE, just massive advocates of it and keen on continuing the good work it does.

Now you mention it I don't think there is an official representative of it, which is probably what makes it so pernicious.

[randomlegend]

I don't think you can really have an official representative of a concept. I mean are you seriously expecting there to be an individual representing all scientific endeavour conducted across all fields or something?

People (who in these case aren't even scientists or anything approaching it) trying to bastardise science into some wierd culty MOVEMENT, doesn't make actual good science wrong or untrustworthy.

[Spikey M]

Are you advocating for some kind of Science Pope, Yev?

That could get dicey. If you appoint a Physicist like Brian Cox, you'll have Richard Dawkins Biology splinter group breaking kneecaps on the streets of London in no time.

[Yevrah]

I don't think you can really have an official representative of a concept. I mean are you seriously expecting there to be an individual representing all scientific endeavour conducted across all fields or something?

No, I'm not. I was merely pointing out that there wasn't one, not that we should have one.

Again, well aware of that. Tis why I capitalise it. Actual science is a wonderful thing. I've had my vaccines let's not forget.

[randomlegend]

Fair nuff.

[Kikó]

That video is pure cringe.

[Spikey M]

Both kids had Covid last week and I thought I was safe, but I've just grabbed a glass of apple juice and it tastes bitter as fuck. :face:

[Magic]

Another double Covid bedwetter. :harold:

[Spikey M]

I'm hoping it's just gone off. Double jabbed and 2 cases of Covid in 6 months. I'm going to lol myself off the fucking board. :moop:

[Magic]

Enjoy the vaccine you cunt. :harold:

[randomlegend]

I'm amazed I've still not had it.

[Spikey M]

You must have. Probably just asymptomatic. Or have you had the blood test?

[Manc]

That video is pure cringe.

Ricky Wilson is such a weapon.

[randomlegend]

You must have. Probably just asymptomatic. Or have you had the blood test?

I had the blood test a few months in but not since.

It's possible I was asymptomatic I guess.

[Spikey M]

Everything has tasted normal since the dodgy apple juice, so I think I'm safe from the Double Covid Beta Cuck Club for now.

I'm going out this weekend though, so there's no chance in hell I'm taking a test. :uhoh:

[niko_cee]

I'm going to someone's 50th at the weekend and there's a strong trend of anti-vax nutters in the crowd. Both the guy and his wife are unvaccinated and I reckon she has a strong chance of dying if she gets it.

[Dquincy]

Code for she's a fatty.

[niko_cee]

Aye, and the rest, fucktons of underlyings.

[Spikey M]

Go out licking door handles and do the world a favour, Neeks.

[niko_cee]

I feel a slight something in my nose as if a cold is coming on, and my eldest has been identified as a close contact in an educational setting (albeit 8 days ago and she's been testing negative on the lateral flows since) so you never know. Would be quite a funny place for an outbreak, all the potential tragedy notwithstanding.

[Lofty]

Enjoy the vaccine you cunt. :harold:

If the vaccine prevents him posting a pic of his bloody piss it's probably a win, all things considered.

[Magic]

Are we still believing asymptomatic is a thing.

[phonics]

Somehow your dumbest post in here. Congratulations.

[Queenslander]

Vic Police have again come out and said that there a large amount of White Nationalist organising the anti lockdown, anti vax etc protests in Melbourne.

Lol at the so called most progressive City in Australia.

[Queenslander]

It is kicking the fuck off in Melbourne.

[Queenslander]

The protesters were full of Qanon drones.

The smuggling of KFC over city lines in New Zealand takes the absurdity of this pandemic to new lows. Police pursuit and all. Untouchables 2 anyone?

[Don]

Didn't they have $100k in cash too? Mans had their headlines overtaken by a healthy appetite.

[Yevrah]

My niece has got the vid. I haven't seen her for a few weeks so this isn't a woe is me story, more a post to register my surprise that a nine year old has only just caught this now, for presumably the first time.

[Don]

Should have been jabbed, the moron.

[Spikey M]

My Daughter only caught it last week and she's been going to school (even during lockdown as the Mrs is a KEY WORKER (You're welcome)) and in regular contact with classmates who had it. We always assumed she just had it asymptomatically (and maybe she did), but it seems like she just hadn't caught it until then.

I guess it really isn't that contagious amongst kids.

She shrugged it off like a mild cold too. As did my son. I can see less and less reason for vaccinating children for this.

[Yevrah]

Yeah, just spoke to my niece on WhatsApp video call and she was bouncing around the house enjoying the novelty of not having to go to school.

She only got tested in the first place as her best friend has a temperature and tested positive. It's easy to say this as she's not mine, but given she seems to have lolled it off I'm not sure there's any point at all in vaccinating her now.

[Dquincy]

My niece has got the vid. I haven't seen her for a few weeks so this isn't a woe is me story, more a post to register my surprise that a nine year old has only just caught this now, for presumably the first time.
I'm surprised you're surprised. Other lergies you do not expect the majority of school kids to have caught it in circa 18 months (considerably less time if you consider the school shut downs).

People need to get it out of their heads that you'll catch this if you're within a 5 mile radius of someone with covid.

[Yevrah]

Kids get lurgies all the time. Anything they come into contact with spreads like wildfire between them. And this virus is, you know, quite transmissable.

[Don]

I shared a tinnie (tinny?) with 3 others on day 0 of symptoms and gobbed in the missus' mouth on days -4 to 1. All tested negative. It's not that serious.

[Spikey M]

Why are you sharing a can of drink? You're an adult ffs. :sick:

Listen, guys, I think we got off on the wrong foot here, when I knocked the white man, I wasn't looking to insult you personally.

I was insulting your biology, physiology, psychology and general culture as well as your entire family tree, including your momma.

You'll regret it when your period is late.

[Raoul Duke]

Will the nanobots in this injection have any complication with the microchips from the first ones?

[Spikey M]

And what's the point in 5G if they can't provide updates remotely?

When did you have your second jab?

[John Arne]

It would be nice if the UK donated some of these boosters to Covax, for those who haven't received a shot at all.

[Yevrah]

I'm sure we'll do our bit, but we need to make sure we never go into lockdown again here first.

[randomlegend]

When did you have your second jab?

February I think.

I love everything about this tweet. Especially that It's somehow not satire. I'm not sure if I prefer the comments taking the piss or the one's calling her a brave freedom fighter more.

Australia is just entertaining on all fronts at the moment though. Go on lads.

[Yevrah]

Is she an Aussie? She's gonna be suicidal when she finds out it won't really change much for her....

[Pepe]

Is she an Aussie? She's gonna be suicidal when she finds out it won't really change much for her....

Nah, people really into vaccines are also really into lockdowns.

[Kikó]

I felt massive relief at getting a vaccine for covid. It was definitely a great moment after a year of shit.

[Yevrah]

Good point, well made.

@Pep.

[Yevrah]

I felt massive relief at getting a vaccine for covid. It was definitely a great moment after a year of shit.

I would have done had I had it earlier, but after bizarrely having to wait much longer than some people I knew it was clearly apparent by that time that it wasn't quite going to be the gateway to immediate fun I'd first thought.

[Kikó]

Other than wearing a mask in some settings, I don't know what's different domestically.

[Yevrah]

Other than wearing a mask in some settings, I don't know what's different domestically.

I got the vaccine months ago now, cast your mind to back then.

[Kikó]

Yeah I understand it wasn't immediate but then I also recognised that immunising the population wouldn't be instant.

[Yevrah]

Yeah I understand it wasn't immediate but then I also recognised that immunising the population wouldn't be instant.

Nothing to do with expecting it to be instant, the vulnerable were all long since vaccinated by the time I could set foot back in a pub.

[Kikó]

You could have written your sitcom in that time.

[Yevrah]

I also wouldn't say life's irreparably damaged, but there's a stench hanging over most things due to that fridge door being left open.

[Dquincy]

Things are fairly normal now. Apart from masks and vaccine/negative test passports.

Went to the theatre on the weekend, which required the passport thing. One person in the party was not vax'd and showed me how flawed the LFT negative test reporting was. They didn't even test themselves.

Giggles would not have liked this person.

[Yevrah]

You could have written your sitcom in that time.

I could have done that whether Covid came or not.

[Shindig]

There was a moment before Delta kicked off where I thought we'd actually cracked it. In an actual, "Awesome. We might not have to live with this." way.

[Yevrah]

Went to the theatre on the weekend, which required the passport thing.

Have businesses brought this in despite the government choosing not to? Jesus wept.

[Dquincy]

Have businesses brought this in despite the government choosing not to? Jesus wept.

Afraid so. I thought it would be just like restaurants that I've attended where they ask for it in the booking email but don't actually care about it on the day of attending. However, there was an official lady walking the queue asking to see your vaccine passport or proof of negative test.

[Giggles]

Yeah, but atleast you're helping people. Being a Covid Steward (or whatever they call them) is just being the fucking fun police. Their job is literally to find people hoping to have fun and find a reason to disappoint them.

[Pepe]

Plenty of little Hitlers out there that would love having that kind of power.

We need to jab Indonesia and Vietnam asap.


‘We need to go big’: Morrison, Biden unveil pledges to vaccinate world

“That’s up to 60 million vaccine doses for our region between now and the end of 2022,” Morrison said.

We are real People's Republic these days.

[niko_cee]

They vaccinate 200 people a day at these 'hubs'?

That seems a low number considering they look enormous.

We were banging out much larger numbers (https://covidvax.live/location/ggy) than that for most of the spring/summer, and there's only 65000 people here.

To follow up on this [another of my kids has been identified as a possible contact on Friday but neg'd the LFT today] the birthday boy's missus was having an existential crisis at the end and her anti-vax 'research' mates were rallying around planning a collective course of invermectin. :happycry:

[Offshore Toon]

While I obviously didn't bother, I'm torn between it being 'just a bit of fun' and 'pointless self-righteous wankery'. It was probably both. That woman dancing in the road is entirely the latter, where as people doing it with their kids probably fall in the former.

[Spikey M]

It just struck me how quickly that's changed to look properly mental. A year or so ago there was one of them on every street, I can't even imagine the reception one of those would get now.

[Yevrah]

One of the things I hate about the tik-tok World we now live in is people doing little videos like that one, that purport to be genuine reactions to things.

Some of them may well be, but if they're not enough already. It's all so banal.

[Offshore Toon]

The mental thing is how afraid people were to do something like that to begin with. That awful-looking bint in the street is probably the most closed off cow day-to-day.

I don't know why the general public are always so keen for things to be a massive and extremely well-run conspiracy, rather than useless people being useless.

You would say that :sherlock:

[Spikey M]

I don't know why the general public are always so keen for things to be a massive and extremely well-run conspiracy, rather than useless people being useless.

I read something once that theorised that people would rather everything was under control, even if it's not in their favour, than accept that sometimes horrible shit just happens.

I can see the logic. I guess it's why we have God's, devil's and witchdoctors too. People like to believe someone is in control and that the Village couldn't just get flattened by an earthquake or a tsunami for no reason.

[Magic]

Yep. It's why 9/11 conspiracies took off. "Surely someone would've stopped this? Buildings can't fall over like that, etc?" Any gaps in their knowledge just get covered by conspiracy. The reality of chaos is too much for some to bear.

BREAKING: Restrictions will be tightened for two weeks in parts of Queensland after six new cases of COVID-19 were detected in the community.
From 4pm today, the Local Government Areas of Brisbane, Gold Coast, Moreton Bay, Logan, Townsville and Palm Island will be subject to increased restrictions.

Cafés and restaurants will return to 1 person per 4m² indoors and 1 person per 2m² outdoors. You must be seated in hospitality venues when you're eating and drinking, and dancing is not permitted.
Capacity at stadiums and events will decrease to 75%, including Sunday’s NRL Grand Final.
Funerals and weddings are restricted to 100 people. A maximum of 20 people can dance at weddings.
Don’t forget a mask when you leave home: you must wear them indoors, on public transport and ride sharing, and when social distancing isn’t possible.
These measures are important to keep Queensland safe.


No mention of not sharing a bag with a stranger in the pub bathroom after the game...

[Queenslander]

Why did you have them together?

At least 7 days between the two down here.

[randomlegend]

It was offered and I decided feeling rough once was better than feeling rough twice.

It was seven days between for the initial two jabs here as well, but I think the logistics of getting everyone flu and covid jabbed has pushed them to offer them together.

On the plus side it'll prevent you from feeling bad from COVID :baz:

Just to be really petty about this, Hong Kong have only had two days without covid cases since March. They're averaging 7 a day. And the musical instrument stuff isn't new. They've been ... improvising since last year. :D

[Spikey M]

There is never a time when this shit wouldn't be pathetic. I don't care if cases are at 0 or 100,000 per day.

[Shindig]

It's also really impractical unless you're willing to mask the other end of the instrument.

[Magic]

I see dentists still have to dress like they're about to clear Chernobyl, thanks to that hilarious ADVICE about drilling and droplets.

[Spikey M]

It's either too dangerous for concerts or it isn't. If they're having them, then it isn't. Masking the musicians is just doing something for the sake of doing something.

[Jimmy Floyd]

'Covid theatre'. When I went to the cricket the other day I literally couldn't believe that they were still scrubbing the ball with wipes after a six was hit into the crowd.

[Spikey M]

It's going to be the hangover we have to live with for a while, unfortunately. Society is largely back to normal, but the corporates will struggle to step back from the brink. Largely for the same reason they rebranded "Christmas lights" to "Fairy Lights" despite literally nobody taking offence to the term outside of Guardian HQ. They fear the bed wetters.

[Yevrah]

The rules are largely back to normal, but there's some untold under the surface damage from all this that we'll be seeing for the rest of the decade.

[SvN]

What I don't understand is that we've known for about a year that COVID is very rarely transmitted through surfaces. So it's all purely a charade, regardless of how cautious you want to be.

[Lewis]

I like the supermarket announcements about 'please continue to wear a facemask' as ninety per cent of people don't.

[Yevrah]

I can see why they do it, it's just arse covering.

[randomlegend]

I see dentists still have to dress like they're about to clear Chernobyl, thanks to that hilarious ADVICE about drilling and droplets.

What's hilarious about it?

Massive waiting times for dentists, huge waste of PPE. If you have (real) Glovid then you're not going for a fucking root canal.

Oof. Dead 4 days after her test.

Yeah, that was a bit of a red flag. That and 5 kids. Still, you don't expect a 4 day turnaround on Covid.

Just bullshit. How can it fucking kill some and be symptomless in others? Fake.

The same way infectious diseases have been doing exactly that for thousands of years, you brainless troglodyte.

[Magic]

Examples please.

[randomlegend]

Off the top of my head, flu and RSV. There will be countless others.

[randomlegend]

There's even been asymptomatic cases of bubonic plague.

[Magic]

Absolutey tiny numbers in comparison.

[Spikey M]

Tuberculosis is asymptomatic most of the time. 1 in 4 people have it without even knowing.

[randomlegend]

Spanish flu was an H1N1 type flu virus which killed 50m people. H1N1 flu virus' have around 22% asymptomatic infection.

[Magic]

And Vocid rate is...?

[randomlegend]

The most recent meta-analysis has it around 25%.

[Magic]

Is that the same analysis that has got pretty much everything wrong so far?

[randomlegend]

Ah yes, when all else fails, just deny the facts.

[Giggles]

Ah yes, when all else fails, just deny the facts.

And refuse to use the actual word covid like a fucking mong.

Genuinely interested about that young lass who has died. I appreciate the media have an agenda with young people and vaccines, but this article is still quite shocking. Just wonder if there is more to it.

Youngest daughter came up faint positive on a lateral flow yesterday (she's now awaiting a proper test) and mega positive this morning (we have to test daily as someone in her class had it last week - in fact all my school age kids are testing daily at the moment). :face:

[Spikey M]

Are you all vaxxed up other than the kids? What's the deal over there, are you free to crack on or do you have to isolate?

[John Arne]

We opened up yesterday. Overnight from complete lockdown, army, barriers and with curfew... To basically everything open. Except dine-in restaurants.

I think this means the gov realise zero covid is impossible with Delta.

[John Arne]

Probably on the back of HCMC Vax rate being something like 95% :drool:

Good comments by Klopp on anti-vaxxers, the fucking nazi.

[niko_cee]

Are you all vaxxed up other than the kids? What's the deal over there, are you free to crack on or do you have to isolate?

Yeah, both vaxxed.

When the PCR comes back positive the kid has to 'isolate' for 10 days but no other members of the household have to unless they develop symptoms or return a positive PCR [I think we have to have 1 PCR at some point but not sure when]. It's only a minor ballache, but could become more annoying if more people come down with it. Other kids will keep having to do LFTs daily as that's part of the school shit at the moment anyway I think.

[John Arne]

A report this week suggested only seven of the 20 Premier League clubs have succeeded in fully vaccinating 50 per cent or more of their squads, with the overall average said to be approximately one-third of all players.


I know most footballers are pretty thick, but this figure seems alarmingly high. Arrogance, stupidity or a bit of both?

[Magic]

Probably just unnecessary, as it is for most people. :baz:

[Yevrah]

They're mostly 20-somethings and that age group has a bad take up generally.

[John Arne]

They're mostly 20-somethings and that age group has a bad take up generally.

Interesting. I'd assumed that uptake would be higher in the younger (20-30) age group.

[Magic]

Solid assumption that, mate. :cab:

[Jimmy Floyd]

Professional sportsmen have less awareness of the world around them than any other group I have encountered. Live in a complete bubble on every conceivable level.

Obviously there are exceptions to that, but as a herd they have zero idea what is going on.

[Lewis]

They're mostly 20-somethings and that age group has a bad take up generally.

And blacks have the lowest take up by an absolute mile.

[Pepe]

Tuskegee mate.

[Lofty]

I read something once that theorised that people would rather everything was under control, even if it's not in their favour, than accept that sometimes horrible shit just happens.

I can see the logic. I guess it's why we have God's, devil's and witchdoctors too. People like to believe someone is in control and that the Village couldn't just get flattened by an earthquake or a tsunami for no reason.

Swing away, Merrill.

[Dquincy]

Can't call them that, mate.

https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Coronavirus/China-PCR-test-orders-soared-before-first-reported-COVID-case



Purchases of PCR tests in China's Hubei Province surged months before the first official reports of a novel coronavirus case there, according to a report from researchers in the U.S., the U.K. and Australia.

Orders doubled from universities, jumped fivefold from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and surged tenfold from animal testing bureaus. Purchases from hospitals declined by more than 10%.

Monthly procurement data shows a spike in orders in May, especially from CDC buyers and the People's Liberation Army.

"We believe the increased spending in May (2019) suggests this as the earliest start date for possible infection," the report said.

Purchases rose sharply from July through October as well, in particular from the Wuhan University of Science and Technology. The institution spent 8.92 million yuan on PCR tests in 2019, about eight times its total for the previous year.

Australia became the surprising focal point of an American anti vaccine mandate protest march for teachers in New York City overnight, with hundreds of demonstrators chanting “Save Australia” and some waving Aussie flags.

It still DEFINITELY didn't come from a lab.

[Kikó]

Correct. Unless you have some proof to prove it DEFINITELY did?

[Queenslander]

Robert Potter and his Internet 2.0 are based in Canberra.

I wonder how much bullshit Bob has spun over the years... I wouldn't trust this former Labor Party staffer at all.

[John Arne]

It still DEFINITELY didn't come from a lab.

You know what, 12 months I thought the same. But now, after the "investigation" last year, and now this report, I'm not 100% sure. For the record, I'm not a conspiracy theorist at all - but China is a seriously screwed up insular country, and I just wouldn't put it past them that they were developing this, and then it was accidently contracted by lab techs, and spread from there.

[Spikey M]

I'm not going to speculate on whether it came from a lab or not (it could have), but I think the fact that Covid was a thing LONG before January 2019 is pretty well established fact by now. And the government cover up appears to have been in full swing long before then too.

[Yevrah]

Correct. Unless you have some proof to prove it DEFINITELY did?

No proof, obvs, but I'd put money on it having done so.

In fact, let's say you're down to the million pound question on Millionaire, you're left with two options and the computer knows the truth. The options are 'lab' or 'passed on from animals'. Which one do you go for? You have to play as well.

[niko_cee]

Animals.

Not that the Chinese aren't lying through their back teeth about everything else.

[Yevrah]

Given your second sentence, why do you go for animals?

Genuinely interested.

[Disco]

Transmission from animals has happened exponentially more often than anything escaping from a lab.

[Spikey M]

Because the answer has been "it came from animals" almost every other time. Including both previous CoronaViruses (Sars & Mers).

That's not to say the answer isn't A, but the answer is usually B. So I pick B.

[niko_cee]

Weight of credible opinion seems to lean that way, so on a 50/50 choice it's what I'd go with.

I could easily believe the Chinese were attempting to study this new thing nature had thrown up in the Wuhan lab, but I don't buy it as some sort of biological weapon, or even gene-editing/virus fiddling thing gone wrong, on the balance of probabilities.

How dodgeable are covid travel tests? Flying back from Greece next week and I have no desire to pay £68 to some absolute racket.

[Shindig]

Is there any airport testing you could use?

[Kikó]

You can pay for day 2 for closer to £40 and can use lateral flow tests in Greece to come back in.

[Dquincy]

You know what, 12 months I thought the same. But now, after the "investigation" last year, and now this report, I'm not 100% sure. For the record, I'm not a conspiracy theorist at all - but China is a seriously screwed up insular country, and I just wouldn't put it past them that they were developing this, and then it was accidently contracted by lab techs, and spread from there.

Lyme disease came from a lab, allegedly. It's an interesting story (if you fancy googling it).

Ps. Are there any other viruses that affect your taste and smell in the way Kung Flu does?

[Don]

The best day 2 price I found for my dad before I lost the will to live browsing that horrific wild west of providers and their dogshit scam websites was £46.

https://covid19tests.atruchecks.com/

(Listed as £39 but obvs add on a random charge at the end).

He needed the purchase code for his passenger locator form but didn't have it checked at the airport. Reckon it's worth skipping.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I don't understand the travel stuff at all. I'm meant to be going to Spain for work in a couple of weeks. As double-vaxxed I can go out there no problem, but I have to do what to get back in?


After you arrive in England you must take a COVID-19 test on or before day 2.

You must book this test before you travel.

If you will be in England for less than 2 days you still need to book and pay for a day 2 COVID-19 test. You only need to take the test if you are still in England on day 2.

Right, and what if I don't? Beheaded at the Tower?

[Don]

They really need to be killing it off by 2022, I got shit to do.
