Agreed. But I can understand hesitancy by pregnant women when there is such conflicting information and misinformation out there.
My wife is suffering a bit with covid currently and it's a reasonable view (if not guaranteed) that she would not be suffering as much if she had the jab.

Agreed. But I can understand hesitancy by pregnant women when there is such conflicting information and misinformation out there. It was "officially" recommended for pregnant women to get vaccinated as early as August 2021, when this fatty was preggo, and any continued hesitancy was identified as misinformation. It's her own daft fault. Hopefully existing pregnant unvaccinated women realise and go get jabbed, because having covid in the third trimester is bad news.

He was hospitalised. His Mrs wasn't. If we're judging by magics experience the hospitalisation rate in the unvaccinated is 50%.
Close the clubs.
Thankfully it's nowhere near that because we're not all Vitamin D deficient Scotch Special Needs cases.

I'm 90% sure he's joking, but if he isn't; the problem is that the rambling headcases spend alot of time online convincing people to follow ther lead and have directly caused people like the lady in Kiko's article to die.
The twat I know is my cousins best friend and I binned her off facebook a year ago. She's constantly posting Conspiracy bullshit and her friends just laugh and give it "Oh Annette, what are you like!?". Which is fine when she's talking to people with brains, but there's thicko's out there that buy into this shit and it's either getting more and more common or they're becoming more and more brave talking about it.

My neighbour spent the Christmas period back home in Lismore, Northern Rivers and he told me the worst story so far and that is parents not jabbing their 13/14 year old kids even though the kids want the jab.
They're all alcoholic no hopers and there would be thousands of them done there.

If the 13 year old books an appointment with their GP and demonstrates that they are mature enough to have made that decision, the GP can overrule the parent and go with the kids wishes. That’s how it works here anyway.

Just a shame you can't write "Morbid Stupidity" on the death cert.
Girlfriend tested positive this morning on a PCR. Has had pretty minor cold symptoms and tested negative on an LFT when they first appeared, but positive 3 or 4 days later.
Not seen her since the 17th though as she’s been down south with her family.
Double vaccinated and boosted but this is the first person in my little circle to get a confirmed positive.
Was due to play her at monopoly on the 31st but she’s isolating down there until the 3rd so I’ve already claimed victory. :flex:

I just can't help but stand by in disbelief as they both sit there feeling vindicated in their decision when one of them can't smell or taste anything 18 months later (which whilst only a quality of life issue is a pretty major one) and the other almost certainly has permanent lung damage because of covid.

Assuming Tragic isn't faffing about with a nebuliser every night (can't rule it out considering he's been hiding his smell / taste loss) it must be pretty mild lung damage. Better that than the psychological damage that not being able to taste a ruby or a burger would bring.
That said, he's got both so there's nothing to weigh up now. :happycry:

They don't exist.
This was from the 19th March 2020:
It's quite straight forward. There are 4 ways the virus goes away:
1. We vaccinate against it
2. We stay inside until it's gone (not that simple I know, but for the purpose of brevity let's use that as a catch all term for proper isolation and testing, leading to a capacity to treat where possible and elimination through knowledge of where it actually is)
3. It kills everyone it can
4. The pixies ask it nicely to leave
Let's assume 4 won't happen.
1 takes time, which if we're on semi-lockdown for the duration and that duration is into next year will kill the economy. Particularly if other countries have managed to make 2 a success.
2 might work, but people need to disabuse themselves of the notion that that's what we're doing. We're manifestly not. Or not properly at least. And it doesn't strike me that we're going to.
3 by process of elimination, if we can't get a vaccine quick enough, is the only option left. Mixed in with some mitigation from our half arsed efforts at 2.
If I've misunderstood anything, shout.
https://www.thethirdhalf.co.uk/showthread.php?2609-Coronavirus-Death-Thread&p=385882&highlight=pixies#post385882
And this was from the 7th September 2020:
A 2nd wave of some degree was always going to happen. It's a reasonably contagious virus that the magic pixies won't just rid from the world in a matter of months.
Deaths are less per case due to a combination of:
It's already killed off the seriously low hanging fruit.
We're testing a hell of a lot more people now.
I haven't seen the demographics on positive tests but I'd be surprised if it isn't more weighted towards the lower risk groups now (the young and Taz, for example).
The lag between cases rising and it actually killing people, which we know is about 3 weeks to a month.

Issue 13 illustrates my point above further. While I'm not taking the percentage they quote on face value, you're giving nut jobs more ammo when you start mandating that children need a vaccine for a disease that clearly has a miniscule chance of harming them and that they can spread anyway, even when they've been jabbed.

No, it wasn’t fast tracked. This is technology that was established before covid came along. And all the “ingredients” of a vaccine are standard components which have been tested over and over again.

This is another post brought to you by "I told you so (sponsored by the South African tourist board)", but not only is it over, it never really started. Cases have been hammered for nearly four weeks now and nothing. Even the hospitalisations look like they're being driven by people who fucking caught it there while in for something else. EDIT: Or happened to have it while going in for something else.
Assume isolation period won't even get shortened let alone abolished next month still though. Will that mark d-day? Be good to see how the conspiracy theorists keep themselves interested after that.

I'm not sure where there is left for this to go now. Our chief scientific advisor was wrong, SAGE were comically wrong. Hopefully it's well and truly done now in terms of nonsense restrictions.

Had a very depressing talk with my aunt about this. She's a worrier (completely innocent, no side or views) and no matter how patiently I talk about it, she just won't accept that omicron is less severe or even that vaccination will mitigate its effects. She's effectively in a mindset where she NEEDS this to carry on because she's spent the last two years being scared shitless about it, and if it ends, that's time wasted.
If I say 'cases have peaked in London', she just says 'no, they're still rising'.
Heads etc.

IDK why people spend so much time agonising over it all. You can't change it so why worry? I have never watched an "update" so far and I barely know what the rules are beyond the bare minimum I need to get by and for work. I have zero clue what cases or hospitalisations are doing at any given time.

Oh and someone else I know refusing to come out at the moment because he had it first week of December, therefore hasn't been able to have his booster jab yet and therefore he isn't safe. This guy has two degrees ffs.

Then again I spend my summers refreshing for minute-by-minute updates of who Man Utd are signing so maybe I should shut the fuck up lmao.

People respond differently, all the way through I have wanted to know as much as possible in as minute detail as possible in order to prepare my expectations for what is coming next. The Boris/Whitty lectern briefings are all out of date bullshit, but the data dashboard is brilliant.
Has led to me knowing a lot more about maths than I used to.

If this reads true then this is potentially big news (presuming it's not bollocks). Basically, the PCR tests cannot determine between influenza and covid.

That's sort of similar to me, albeit I appreciate our output is different. I'd rather know how bad things are and/or have a sensible view of what's coming than not and it dawned on me relatively early on that the best way to do that was to find out for myself. I know fuck all about science (clearly) but I am pretty good with numbers and interpreting them, which is all I've really used throughout this. The back of a fag packet told me that we were closer to Italy in weeks than Whitty reckoned and that herd immunity without a vaccine was one of the dumbest ideas ever, and it's sort of gone from there.
On the subject of your aunt, I genuinely feel for her. There have been millions of people who've been utterly terrified by the messaging around this (fine sans a vaccine, absolutely not fine after we had one) and I'm not sure what it'll take to bring them back to the land of properly functioning humans again.

So it was bollocks. My mistake.
You need to ask yourself why you keep being pulled towards these sort of extreme webpages.

A reasonable question, but I do not seek out or get pulled towards them. I was sent it by a mate and thought I'd share it on here.
It's rightly been discredited and I'll think twice before doing so again.

I don't think I've ever been massively anxious over any of this. I was mainly concerned about the family but know there's only so much you can do. I wasn't shitting bricks once the deaths started getting up there and I'm certainly not bothered about where we're at. Like Jimmy, the data's just been nice to rifle through. Finding out who this virus tends to finish off, where it's spreading and, in general, finding out how the virus is changing over time.
More people are still dying than there were on average in 2019 but it's night and day from the peak of this.
