Coronavirus Death Thread

[Dquincy]

Taz, your post just now was the 21,000 post in this thread.

Congratulations.

[Shindig]

I've given up even thinking about what might happen. What will be will be.

[7om]

One of the local Vietnam vaccines has just finished phase 2 trials and has 100% immunogenicity. Apparently this doesn't necessarily mean it will mean 100% efficacy, but it's a good result. Here's hoping phase 3 trials are fucking successful. Currently, only 200,000 of 97,000,000 have been vaccinated.

How is your Vietnamese, Zom?

[Queenslander]

I just got sent home. The practice I went to refuse to give out AZ to under 50 because of the risk of blood clots.

RIP in pieces.

[Kikó]

Fucking idiots.

[Queenslander]

Fucking idiots.

Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!

[Baz]

Fucking idiots.Vaccination centres here are only giving out the Moderna vaccine now, unless it’s the second dose and then you get whatever you already had.

Scotland. :face:

So no doubt the likes of #teamautism will agree with this but all the further education sector is planning on making people 'prove' they are from the same household for anyone that comes in i.e for practical work like class projects or beauty treatments/hairdressing etc. It also means they have to practice on people they know, which isn't a replication of real world working.

What about all those poor bastards that live alone? Or that hate their family? Or that are abused by their family? Gotta love a bit of discrimination from the SNaziP.

Second vaccine done. Hopefully the side effects aren't as shit this time.

[Boydy]

NI opened an early batch of appointments for 30-35 year olds so got my first jab booked for tomorrow.

[Jimmy Floyd]

My colleague in here spouting that he's 'not ready' for pub gardens. Honestly, they should give these people lethal injections rather than jabs.

[Shindig]

Not ready? Is someone forcing him to go?

My colleague in here spouting that he's 'not ready' for pub gardens. Honestly, they should give these people lethal injections rather than jabs.Not sure there’s a worse kind of person right now.

I’ve prebooked two events - going for drinks in town on Friday 21st, which is the first Friday after we’re allowed back in pubs. And the ill-fated axe throwing stag do over the first weekend after restrictions are being lifted. Very good timing for all sorts of characters to be out. And I CANNOT WAIT. :drool:

Need to book a chilled real ale pub session with Mike and our mates too. Oh, normality is almost upon us. :happycry:

[Lewis]

These reports from India seem to suggest that burning a body is easier than I thought it was. I thought you needed serious and constant heat otherwise you end up with bones and teeth, and surely they aren't sweeping those bits up as they shuffle the families out.

[Spikey M]

Although, their population is 20 times ours so that's the equivalent of about 150 a day. Open the Cow Churches.

[Magic]

And it's probably misreported, and 3rd world, and politics, and insufficient health care, etc etc etc.

[Queenslander]

I highly doubt they are pumping out the most up to date numbers.

[Lofty]

Some 12 year old on This Morning with a 'plea' for clear face masks. It is a fair point regarding deaf people who read lips etc but it's a bit like coming up with a plan to liberate Nazi occupied France when the allies are already on the Normandy beaches. Not a chance 99% of people are wearing masks beyond the period legally required.

[Yevrah]

I think it'll be way less than 99% who ditch them, we'll be seeing the bloody things for years to come.

[Raoul Duke]

That's probably not a bad thing - I wondered at the start of all this whether in say Japan, do they have better flu numbers due to the prevalence of mask-wearing

[Queenslander]

I luv me some good Larping with custom made masks.

[Shindig]

3,500 flu deaths in 2019. It's increasing but that seems a low number considering how populous and ageing Japan is.

[Queenslander]

I’ve a Nicolas Cage one.

Brutal.

If I were to bend that way I'd get a Broncos, Reds or Bullet Club one.

[Disco]

Wanker face masks with shit designs on them are rivalling the death toll for the worst thing about this pandemic.

[Magic]

I've made a point at laughing or shaking my head at nonces that wear them outside. :drool:

[Ian]

Yeah, you're randomly laughing at strangers in the street but they definitely seem like the weird ones.

[Spikey M]

I saw my first double-masker the other day.

Just wear a Spastic Society badge ffs.

[Don]

We don't have confirmation yet that masks will be fully done away with come 21 June, right? Hopefully it comes so the real melts can be outed instantly. Seeing a busy London over the weekend, there was plenty of scenes, one family of 4 taping up all kinds of PPE around their toddlers' faces to the point they were steamed up and looking like some stranded astronauts on an alien planet. Brutal.

Grant Shapps (I think, all these MP's are the same person to me) said that distancing and masks "may still be needed for some time" the other day.

[Magic]

It's down to us to rebel, really.

[Shindig]

Nah, they won't force it beyond June.

[Yevrah]

Pretty sure they will in some form or other.

[Kikó]

I feel like, based on nothing much, they might recommend wearing of masks indoors without anything else post June. I might continue wearing them in winter on the tube as there's usually a million cunts with colds trying to breath in your face. Might even buy the visor to complete the look.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They'll still make us wear them indoors.

[Spikey M]

I would be alright with people continuing to use them if they're ill, but otherwise masks can fuck off.

[Magic]

They'll still make us wear them indoors.

'Us' as in burdens on the NHS? Feel free.

[Kikó]

I would be alright with people continuing to use them if they're ill, but otherwise masks can fuck off.

They're not going to legislate mask wearing when they don't need to. It's not popular.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

'Us' as in burdens on the NHS? Feel free.

The only NHS service I've been a burden on is the mental health team and you clearly need more of their help than I do.

[Shindig]

They're not going to legislate mask wearing when they don't need to. It's not popular.

And they wouldn't be holding trial events. Masks on public transport and flights is probably where it sticks around but no further.

[Andy]

Mask wearing in general is irrelevant. I've been wearing one for work for a while and couldn't care less if I have to carry on certain situations for a while.

It's all the other crap that needs to go asap and is far more of a problem. Social distancing and the rule of six are both far worse than the occasional mask.

[Spikey M]

The difference is that no cunt is bothering with the rule of 6 or distancing any more. Masks are easier to make do with, but harder to get around. As it goes I only bother where there's no getting around it. I've already stopped taking one to the gym at all and so have most other people.

[Kikó]

Our gym isn't even that bothered about masks. No expectation for people to wear them inside.

[Spikey M]

Ours wants them in changing rooms and reception area, other than that it's freedom, but nobody bothers at all.

[Spikey M]

As if by magic:

"Boris Johnson says there is a "good chance" the one-metre plus social distancing rule will be scrapped on 21 June in England"

Can shops still keep markers on the floors though just so people aren't standing up my arse in queues?

[Raoul Duke]

3,500 flu deaths in 2019. It's increasing but that seems a low number considering how populous and ageing Japan is.

But how's that relative to other similar nations?

[Shindig]

:shrug:

Finding comparisons for flu numbers is a motherfuck. They use surveillance and excess deaths to estimate it. Ours usually averages at 10,000.

[Spikey M]

1 death recorded today.

Some selfish cunt had to ruin it.

[niko_cee]

We still have recommendations for mask wearing (to an extent) here and I feared that many would continue wearing them all the time but thankfully from day 1 of lockdown ending properly they have been few and far between and obviously only worn by the truly hopeless.

From the early signs I've seen in my social interactions, 90% of people are going to be going off like uncaged silverbacks, while the other 10% are going to be wailing in frustration about the fact that we aren't still tiptoeing 2m away from each other and sanitising hands every 30 seconds.

Dr Deepti Gurdasani, a clinical epidemiologist and senior lecturer in machine learning at Queen Mary University of London, who is among the signatories to the letter, said: “We do not want a repeat of past mistakes that previously led to new waves, higher deaths, and prolonged lockdowns.”

It's like Baghdad Bob has somehow time travelled and joined the string quartet on the Titanic.

Monkey flu.


It had me feeling completely drained for a couple of days. And fevery on the first night.

[Jimmy Floyd]

One of my 40-something colleagues was going around bragging about how he'd make sure he got the vaccine on a Friday, so that the side-effects would be worn off by Monday in time for work.

Remind me to get it on a fucking Monday.

[Spikey M]

Yeah, he has life completely backwards. Fuck deliberately ruining your weekend so you're fresh for work

[Boydy]

I booked it for Saturday without thinking because it was the first day available to my age group. Terrible decision. Was in the queue at the vaccine centre in Belfast for like an hour and a half and then the side effects ruined the bank holiday weekend.

[7om]

What the fuck is in that vaccine? I’ve felt worse, but it’s not particularly pleasant.

You're having an inflammatory response, Yev. Your immune system has picked up the dead virus in the vaccine and shit itself.

[Manc]

How old are you cunts? I'm not due my first shot till August.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I was all over the place after my first jab.

Luckily I was fine after the second. Felt a little chilly for 30 minutes the next day and that was it.

[Magic]

Explain to me how the young, fit and healthy suffer most with this vaccine whereas the grotesquely unfit (see above), spastics and coffin dodgers get away scot-free?

[Spikey M]

Stronger immune system, stronger immune response.

How old are you cunts? I'm not due my first shot till August.

I have been wondering this too. I'm looking at June.

I took my second dose yesterday. Had to wait a grand total of zero minutes each time and the side effects so far can best be described as non-existent. :flex:

[Boydy]

NI has been fully open for 35-39 year olds for a couple of weeks now and they opened a limited number of bookings for 30-35 last Friday. I went on straight away and booked mine and got it on Saturday.

Explain to me how the young, fit and healthy suffer most with this vaccine whereas the grotesquely unfit (see above), spastics and coffin dodgers get away scot-free?

The first shot basically knocked me out for 2 and a half days.

Edit: You also claimed that my side effects to the first jab were due to me being grotesquely unfit so, yet again, you're all over the place.

The only shame is that this is on talkRadio, whilst remaining conspicuously absent as a view point from the likes of the BBC.

[Raoul Duke]

The Dutch reckon I'll get an invite (assuming some sort of ceremonial clog, filled with weed) around the end of June. Did hear a rumour of someone calling up their GP and getting some spares, so might try that.

[Alex]

I do think there has been a very noticeable shift in the tone of the media with regards how this is being reported to us over the last week or so. The BBC in particular, there's been a very decisive change of attitude from them recently.

Whilst they're not quite on board with the "everything will be fine now" narrative their front page has basically gone back to almost exclusively reporting other "news" (I use this term loosely, they report on some right shit, but non-Covid related matters) as a posed to being filled with, up until very recently, a stream of absolute nonsense that seemed to be aimed exclusively at making us think the end was still imminently nigh.

They even ran something yesterday (I believe) with a headline about scientists saying further lockdowns are very unlikely. Which is quite a u-turn from their usual editorial position of "we're fucked, and we're fucked forever". It's almost like somebody (the government?) have made the decision to tell them to pack it in and stop whipping up fear in the masses. Or they realise the tide of public opinion has just turned sufficiently that we're all now fed up of it. Either way, it's refreshing.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I've been saying for months that this thing has shown women (as a general sweep, obvs) to be way way way more cautious about everything than men, which in turn has made me wonder a few things about humanity more broadly. Will, for instance, women's liberation lead to a stalling in human progress, because they're not interested in the mad risks that men take, 80% of which fail and 20% of which drive the species forward?

Or is women's liberation needed to rein in the risk-taking men and settle everything down for a few centuries?

Who could say.

Or will they be more considered and empathic in their approach, leading to a much better world for us all?

Still, second jab is scheduled for the end of July and I should be set for a holiday in an actual warm climate by then.

It was already bad enough, but it puts into a much darker context the SCIENCE idiots saying we won't get out of this through vaccines alone. If we genuinely wouldn't then I wouldn't advise anyone in their 30s or younger getting the vaccine. It's not that bad, but why would you put yourself through two days of shit (possibly more for the young uns) if you're not really at risk from the virus and having the vaccine doesn't help others? Utterly insane and thoroughly irresponsible messaging.

The messaging has been horrendous, yes. But just get the bloody thing then we can stop listening to this wank and get on with our lives.

[Yevrah]

My sample of 2 (me and yev) says that the Vaccine is worse than the virus.

Don't do it to yourselves lads. Magic is our leader now.

I know this is in jest and we have more IQ than the general population, but to be clear I'd advocate everyone does (say down to actual children) as it manifestly IS the way out of this.

Bet you put it on your tinder profile under the pictures of you in your hot tub though.

Haha. Not a single picture of me in a hot tub anywhere, as that too would be tragic.

Not that I have (ugh) I mean use facebook, but I assumed the point of updating one's vaccination status in such a way would be to trigger anti-vax people you might know more than anything more sanctimonious.

[Kikó]

Jab booked for next Tuesday, I believe it'll be AZ as I'm a true patriot, although the second one is booked for 6 weeks after so it maybe one of the other two if they're still spacing AZ at 10 week intervals.

Hope the French don't kill you before then.

[Magic]

Are there any other words where cc is pronounced x.

[Yevrah]

Magic, I'd assumed your Novid routine was playing to the stereotype you'd created for yourself. Please allow me to carry that assumption. It makes me feel happier.

[Magic]

It's almost as sanctimonious as actively telling people you've got Facebook but 'never use it'.

[niko_cee]

Hope the French don't kill you before then.

Apparently our relations with the French are at an all-time high, as rather than pushing ahead with this sort of registration/licence scheme we've just rolled over some transition provisions for a bit longer until everyone is happy with the future arrangements.

Like wot should have happened in every fucking sector.

They've left now anyway it would seem.

I think it was initially but now we all know it's basically a middle-aged woman's excuse for 6 months paid leave it's become a reality for me, and I'm loving it. Some people would call it reckless abandon of civic duties, I however call it living my best life.

I've been thinking about the Kids vaccinations recently actually and I am conflicted on it. Does herd immunity depend on them being covered too? And does it matter if the vulnerable are covered anyway?

I don't know, It feels like the risk : reward ratio would be entertaining pointless territory.

If this is a dig at my use of language let me be clear, I was lamenting the phrase 'have facebook' rather than implying I am signed up but don't use it.

I don't have kids, but was talking to my Sister last week about her thoughts on my nephew and niece getting it. She's not keen, for similar reasons.

Fucking nutters.

*Deleted tweet coz retardation*

Worthwhile risks for a disease that is harmless for children? Nope.

[Jimmy Floyd]

You don't want to be getting your info from Joel Smalley.

[Don]

Yeah, proper nutters them. To run the risk of......which has a probability of.......in preference of soaking up the risk of.....which has a probability of........

Fill in the gaps. Or, alternatively, keep spewing emotive nonsense.

That tweet is trash. Jesus.

[Spikey M]

I don't know who he is or how reliable he is. I don't even really need that to make my argument fly.

The disease is no danger to my kids.

It's best to check your sources. Research on that.

I'm actually siphoning my TB jab out of my arm tonight.

[Raoul Duke]

My work just announced I can take 3 days leave for "COVID reasons", e.g. post-vaccination. When I can, you best believe mine's getting booked for late Tuesday and I'll have the rest of the week off :drool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

lol, at my place I'll be using my 3 sick days for that (if needed). Can't wait to be on SSP when I get Covid-21 in November.

[Yevrah]

Fucking nutters.

I relayed that comment and she's fine with it now.

[niko_cee]

Conflating 'no risk' with 'no risk of them dying' is surely a bit of a mistake in terms of assessing the value of a vaccine. I'm sure covid can still be shit for kids, and kids are routinely vaccinated against seasonal flu to boot, hardly a killer that one.

I've had all my eligible kids vaccinated against chicken pox, even though it seems to be fairly uncommon over here/in the UK. It saves them the ballache [minor misery] of having to have it (and the two weeks off school/work that go with that) etc. The one who did manage to get it after being vaccinated had symptoms that were so mild as to be barely noticeable. Vaccination win. So mine will be getting a covid one should one be licensed for use on them and made available.

[Ian]

Yeah but chickenpox isn't as easy a route to attention-seeking so nobody cares about that one.

[Magic]

Remember RL told us he was transferring half the child population of England to A&E because of novid. :harold:

[Raoul Duke]

Chickenpox is much more dangerous if you get it later as an adult

[Spikey M]

I only got about 6 pox when I got it (as a kid).

I must just piss all this stuff. Come on Ebola, let's go you cunt.

[Yevrah]

Why were the Guardian highlighting this?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57010120

Before COVID I doubt even hypocondriacs knew their NHS number, we needed to vaccinate a shitload of people quickly and this was the best way to do it.

[Baz]

Took my daughter for her “preschool jabs” yesterday and she absolutely screamed the doctors surgery down, and pinning her down has certainly traumatised us both. She won’t be getting any useless injections on my watch.

I’m starting to think there’s zero point in me having the covid vaccine too. I’m relatively young and healthy, so covid won’t kill me. And it doesn’t last forever, so it’s not like I’m securing the antibodies for when I’m 60+ and might die from it. It would literally be for other peoples sake, but if they’re so scared of catching it they’ll be vaccinated anyway. I dunno, will probably get it just because, but I don’t want particularly it.

[Boydy]

Not everyone who's vulnerable can get it.

[Kikó]

What a mess of a post.

[Baz]

Not everyone who's vulnerable can get it.What are they doing in the pub (or my house) then?

[phonics]

Why do people suddenly think they’re smarter than the last hundreds of years of medical progress?

We literally eradicated Small Pox and Polio within our lifetime and Baz who’s spent the last year going for a test twice a day thinks he’s not going to bother with the vaccine.

Spikey/Yevrahs sister. The kids have TB jabs, whooping cough, bcg etc. Why the fuck do you care about this one?

The reason to get it is because there’s literally absolutely no reason not to. That’s why the only response at this point is ‘Fucking nutters’.

[Don]

There's no reason not to slap yourself either. Fucking nutter.

I make decisions based on risk. There is basically no risk to my kids from Covid. The vaccine seems like an unnecessary ordeal and an unnecessary risk. There are several countries not giving young people the vaccine after advice from their scientific experts.

I'm pretty sure our own Government was dead set against it until recently too.

Edit: yep

1389714762032893955?s=19

Edit 2: also note that I said I'm uncertain. I didn't say I won't be getting them vaccinated.

[Kikó]

Another crank you've linked to in the replies. It's not experimental.

[Spikey M]

Another crank you've linked to in the replies. It's not experimental.

I don't care about the Tweet or what he has to say. I searched "Hancock vaccinate children" and that's the first video that came up. Watch it.

The government did not plan to vaccinate children because they are at such little risk.

[7om]

There’s a risk-reward that has to be evaluated. That will come from trial results, the MHRA and the JCVI. Not spastics on twitter.

[Baz]

Twice a day? I’ve had 3 tests, all before visiting my parents.

[Spikey M]

It would be great if people would read what I'm actually saying rather than trying to read between the lines.

I haven't transformed into an anti-vaxxer over night. I will be getting the vaccine (if I can now) as will my Mrs. I'm just uncertain about getting the kids vaccinated because they're of minimal risk and there's a fair number of medical experts voicing their doubts.

Again: uncertain.

If data emerges that shows a low risk, then fair fucks, off we go to the Vaccine Centre.

[Yevrah]

All of those things you've highlighted pose a risk to kids, COVID doesn't. We're not going to completely eradicate it, we'll have vaccinated more than enough people to have herd immunity by the time we get down to children, nearly all the vulnerable are protected, the reaction to the vaccine seems to get worse the younger you are, so beyond 'SCIENCE innit', what's the point?

[Yevrah]

It's pointless trying to engage Spikey, you're up against people who believe in the cult of SCIENCE and don't have kids. Any dissenting voice against blindly following THE SCIENCE and you're an anti-vaxxer.

[7om]

I have a son. I’ll be taking my advice from the experts not “well covid doesn’t harm them anyway”. Neither does rotavirus, pertussis, measles etcbut we happily advocate for people vaccinating their kids with those.

[Shindig]

You really need to stop calling science a cult, Yev.

[Shindig]

It can be questioned but the scientists tend to have numbers to draw their hypothesis on. You're just a man in a hot tub with a broom handle jammed up his arse.

[Yevrah]

I haven't. It's based on the people I know who've had it. Tis why I said seems.

[Yevrah]

It can't be questioned. Spikey says he's not sure about giving it to his kids and he gets set upon. That none of you can recognise that's how the conversation went is even more proof it's a cult.

[Spikey M]

Young people do get worse side effects because their immune system is better. Whether that continues into childhood... who knows.

No. SCIENCE are your two-bit epidemiologists and ‘public health’. The people we listen to are the MHRA - actual doctors.

Oh sorry yes, Linda who calls it experimental can't be fucking questioned as a source. You're having a laugh.

Matt Hancock is the source. Unless you're suggesting Big Lynn is a dabhand at the voice-overs.

That’s because Spikey, God bless him, has resorted to dodgy Twitter links and statements like, “well it doesn’t affect kids as badly”. That is conjecture and the only people who are the authority, the MHRA, haven’t made a decision yet.

Spikey, if you want to be such a realist, do you think they're not giving it to young people because of scientific experts thinking young people don't need it or they don't have enough or want to pay for young people. Remember when the WHO was saying no masks because they didn't have enough masks for themselves?

[Pepe]

Do we have a SCIENCE representative in here to set us straight?

No scientists, but more engineers than we know what to do with. Typical.

PIMSTS is not that rare and is seriously shit. If I had kids I wouldn't hesitate for a second getting them vaccinated once it becomes available.
