New variant found in UK

I see today fear mongering SAGE are asking for vaccine passports again. Here in Kirklees the local paper today said we have 20.9% unvaccinated, but yet out of 149 regions in the UK we are currently the second safest place to live with cases continuing to drop......

If they were brought in there would be not just protests but riots all over the country. People wouldn't put up with it.

 

It may be anecdotal but it seems to me less people are complying with the mask mandate this time around.

 

I'm not. I'm not muzzling my face. I'm a human being who expresses myself with my facial features. I'm part of a society who formed a society in the first place by recognising human emotion through our faces. I engage with people every day. My raison d'etre is to leave every single person I meet feeling better about themselves than they did before they met me. Do I always achieve that? No, I don't. But I achieve it a lot. I make a difference in people's lives every single day of my life. I listen, I take on board, I engage, with everyone I ever meet. If wearing a mask made a difference to Covid infections then I'd wear one, but it demonstrably doesn't. I make a difference to people's lives by being kind, every second of every day.

 

It may be anecdotal, and I am all for vaccination, but in dealing with probate estates, I now get quite a few stories about blood clot deaths.

Never did before.

Hard to pick the bones out of it.

 

I had the misfortune of having to go to neadowhell the other night. I was actually quite surprised by the high compliance of mask wearing amongst some demographics and the low compliance in others.

What I noticed was that in the 25s to 60s white demographic almost everyone was wearing a mask.
In the late teens early 20s demographic it was around 50/50 with half wearing masks and half wearing chin straps.
In the Asian (Indian/Pakistan rather than Chinese) demographic it was extremely EXTREMELY low compliance across the board.
And in the older age groups if was very similar to the teens. A lot of chin straps

 

Feel for Ireland....

Anyone who agrees with that needs to give their heads a wobble. The natives will be wondering what the point of having vaccines was if it still doesn't bring back normality. Business owners now face more financial worry by having to shut during their busiest month of the year or stay open with obscene restrictions.

I really do feel for them. It's good to see Boris holding strong when so many neighbouring countries have gone power hungry.

 

Well I noticed because I strolled into Asda and had completely forgot about it anyway. Realised I wasn't alone so just got on with it. Was about 50/50 with the staff aswell. I don't know what's right or wrong to be honest.

 

It is anecdotal, and I also have my anecdotal stories about this: my work colleagues's mum had blood clots that progressed to her lungs and fortunately she didn't die, but, not to put too fine a point on it, she's knackered. For the rest of her life. The doctors, eventually, admitted that yes, the vaccine caused it.

And, of course, a quite a lot of people have died:

Not that these deaths have been collated, but people are dying from the vaccine. Lots of people.

My friend in my office is also utterly screwed. He's 30 years old and he's in pieces after the vaccine. But it's anecdotal, so it doesn't matter.

So what are the figures for Vaccine injuries? Well, that information is exempt from the freedom of information act, because they're going to publish it in future, apparently, and yet have still not given a timescale:

Make no mistake, if you're in a vulnerable group, get the vaccine. It will protect you. If you're young and healthy, how could you possibly know that a virus, that pretty much does nothing to you, is more damaging than the vaccine designed to protect you when they won't release the statistics of how many of you are being damaged by taking it.

 

I take it the BBS is a work in progress then.

 

Obviously not people like yourself. Real People, who are not horrible.

 

Made me laugh that you liked my last post, when I was being a complete arse. Thank you for having a sense of humour.

 

You are truly a wonderful person!

 

Mr Picky.

 

No I'm not, I don't agree with your right wing lockdown strategies, and so I should be ostracised:

I've stayed out of this thread until now for obvious personal reasons, but I've just popped in to say this.

Wear a ******* mask.

Have a great evening Reds fans.

 

I'm sorry, as much as I respect your point of view, that doesn't change the fact that our games are boring and crap.

 

Jay, your a brilliant poster but you're wrong.

We once created two chances in ten minutes at home to Luton the other month.

 

If you wore a mask, you could pull it up over your eyes.

 

So masks during sex? I'll suggest it to the wife, she may actually agree!

 

Too much confusion. Do what you feel is right
