Coronavirus Death Thread

[Yevrah]

Not sure how someone who swings from WE'RE ALL DOOMED to IT'S OVER in about five seconds could ever claim to have nailed it.

Because I was following what was actually happening.

At the start, we were all utterly fucked - as I said. We got round this in the short terms by confining people to their homes and paying people not to work. We then vaccinated almost everyone to provide a longer term solution, thus un-fucking us. Except it didn't quite work out that way as SCIENCE ran riot and tried to deny vaccine efficacy.

Opinions change with the situation - not sure why this is such a difficult concept for people to grasp.

Handy enough change and jump on the winning horse after the event.

Of course it's a fluid situation, it's not rocket science to work that out, however the situation wasn't changing at the rate in which you were posting. I'm not sure why this is difficult for you to grasp.

I've dipped in and out of the thread but at times you've been in full on hyperbole mode, too caught up in the moment.

[Yevrah]

It was before the event.

I was saying we should be worried about it before a lot of people were.
I was saying we should lock down before we did
I was saying we should open up before we did once we'd vaccinated a fuck tonne of people.
I was saying we shouldn't be that worried about Omicron when everyone was shitting the bed.

It's all in the thread.

[Yevrah]

You what? The thread's been going two years. This is just absolute nonsense and you've clearly misremembered if you thought I was flipping from "we're fucked" to "it's over" in the space of a week, or whatever.

Seriously, pay more attention.

Desperate for locking down.

[Kikó]

Yev has been right throughout and not at all dramatic.

No issue with accusations of being dramatic, I clearly am, but the underlying points are still there.

[Manc]

ScousePig & Giggles is a tag team nobody saw coming.

[Yevrah]

You might be waiting a while...

[Shindig]

Desperate for locking down.

We're not locking down. It's like chasing after an Olympic sprinter at this point. By the time you lock down, the wave is nearly done.

I enjoy reading your posts, and I've said that I flit in and out, but you're human and get things wrong.

That's really all I'm saying.

[ScousePig]

Of course he's dramatic.

[Shindig]

My highlight of the whole thread was Boydy throwing in a, "You okay, Yev? You're being a bit bipolar." Right around the sitcom interlude.

[Giggles]

Of course he's dramatic.

Dramatic is being kind. He’s been a pearl clutching mess.

[Yevrah]

I enjoy reading your posts, and I've said that I flit in and out, but you're human and get things wrong.

I don't doubt it, but, in this instance, what have I got wrong? Next time you see a post, pull me up on it.

[Yevrah]

But again you can't be arsed to find and quote posts in this thread demonstrating that.

[ScousePig]

It's such a big thread that it's hard to remember when and where (I'll have to see if I can work out the search function), but there was a time when you went from us being in lockdown and doomed, to we'll be back to normal in no time. And it was way before the vaccine iirc. It was just something that stuck in my head.

The only reason I pull you up on it specifically is because you like to tell us how right you are.

Yep, not a chance I said that without the vaccine coming into play. I'd put money on it. Significant money.

The only reason I pull you up on it specifically is because you like to tell us how right you are.

Which in turn I only do because people claim I'm wrong without backing stuff up.

[ScousePig]

Like you say, it's a pointless conversation without me actually finding the posts. Let's say you're innocent until proven guilty 😉

[Giggles]

But again you can't be arsed to find and quote posts in this thread demonstrating that.

Nobody needs me to, most have seen for themselves and told you as much. I’d say there’s a load of deleting doing on as we speak anyway.

[Yevrah]

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.

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.

And still you offer no examples. Useless.

Deleting and cherry picking your own quotes Easy to make all the big offers then.

You really haven't the first clue about how I work, do you?

Examples Giggles, examples. You literally can't do it, can you.

Lads people may look to re-read this thread in the future, stop spamming it with your shit willy-measuring contest and stick to the topic of how gay RL is.

His girlfriend implies not very.

This is the sensible approach. I really didn't mean it to turn into a witch hunt.

[Dquincy]

And yet you've never engaged in conversation with any of those posts. You could change the habit of a lifetime and actually quote some and have a discussion, but presumably it's easier to sit and snipe like a snivelling little cunt instead.

That last sentence. Got me.

Well done, Yev.

[Lofty]

A lad I know had a tattoo on his calf just before christmas but it had gone funny, there is no pus so he is adamant it isn't infected, despite it looking grim. He reckons it is a new side effect of the vaccine, and so does his tattooist. Anyone else heard this? Personally I reckon it's sepsis and he'll be peg legged by January.

[Spikey M]

Of course his tattooist agrees.

[Don]

Of course the vaxxed melt disagrees

[Boydy]

Had he not gone to a fucking doctor yet?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

No need, he's seen the tattooist.

[randomlegend]

Side effect of the vaccine

You can literally sell these retards anything.

[Yevrah]

It's as if bad things didn't happen to people, ever, before this vaccine came along.

[Don]

In case you forgot, around 5 billion foreign substances which were fast-tracked in development have been injected into people as a result of this.

2.9m ADRs listed on http://www.vigiaccess.org/
About 0.1% of vaccinations reporting side-effects on https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/human-r...id-19-vaccines

It's not exactly tin-foil territory to suspect it may be linked to strange new health issues.

[Spikey M]

In case you forgot, infections following tattoos are really fucking common.

Is this not the same as VAERS? The numbers are meaningless until they are investigated and where there is a link found, we're talking miniscule percentages against administered doses.

5 billion foreign substances is definitely you on the crank train.

I thought Taz was just playing at being an anti-vaxx mong. What scenes. What a spastic.

[Yevrah]

You thought someone who is vulnerable to this thing yet steadfastly refuses to get the vaccine was playing at being anti-vax?

[Spikey M]

I thought he was hesitant, but all the blah blah gammon gammon blah was for comedic effect. I didn't realise he was this far over the shark.

[7om]

That’s a new one. That a vaccine can be the cause of a tattoo that’s gone to shit. Give your head a wobble ffs.

Edit: lol at “fast tracked” as well. Clueless.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Heads have gone.

[Magic]

It's as if bad things didn't happen to people, ever, before this vaccine came along.

Desperate attempt not to look like a pearl clutching nonce.

[Don]

A vaccine is a foreign susbtance. Its development was fast-tracked.

People really do lose sight of simple facts in the hunt to take sides on this.

[Spikey M]

You've lost sight of the plot.

[Pepe]

Is a kebab a foreign substance?
