‘Escaped’. But no, you’re right, definitely there of their own free will.

 

So when you have to make a judgment about something, do you base it on the facts available at the time or do you possess some kind of superpower that allows you to see into the future?

At the time, there was no evidence available to prove what Casual Tyke was saying despite you misreading the article you asked me to read again and not having the decency to admit you had read it wrong, god forbid someone dare make a mistake how embarrassing. The local community and govt were denying it.

Now, it does look bad from reading that and I'm not sure what to think. Someone leaving a hotel quarantine here would be classed as 'escaping' I would imagine, does that mean they were forcibly detained in the first place though? Not necessarily.

If we had an ebola outbreak in the UK and someone left quarantine early and was going out round town etc whilst infected, would that be ok with you? Or should we just do away with the concept of quarantine? I mean, people clearly follow the rules, don't they...

I'm not getting into this again. Thanks for the I told you so, congratulations enjoy your day.

 

Thank you, but this feels like another example of folk on here transitioning from ‘that’s rubbish, it’s so obviously extreme and wrong that it just can’t be true’ to an attempted justification of said extreme and obviously morally wrong action.

I’ve come to realise that no matter how many times we’re proved right, that these morally abhorrent things ARE happening all round the world (see the monthly fines in Greece of older folk who’ve not been vaccinated) that there are a number of people who will just double down and move on to trying to justifying what’s happening because they somehow see this as a polarised argument between traditional liberal left and Brexit/right.

Whoever decided that lockdowns, compulsory vaccinations and mask wearing are ‘left’ and opposing these measures are ‘right’ have a huge amount to answer for. People have stopped trying to view these arguments with any sort of ethical compass any more and it’s just become a partisan argument.

The more we’ve been proved right with all the predictions of the catastrophic issues for human rights which the acceptance of lockdown and more specifically the associated totalitarian legal acts giving Governments unprecedented powers would cause, the more it seems others get further entrenched into justifying this totalitarianism extremism anyway.

Genuinely nothing personal against you TM. Enjoyed the later posts in this stream when I caught up.

 

It is totally pointless debating it and I don't get why you or others continue with it. I put questions to you in my last post and you've ignored them because they don't suit your argument. So basically one side is barking at the other and vice versa. It's childish and there's zero point in continuing.

I will look at stuff and weigh it up, just as I did last week. If something new comes up which disproves that, fair enough. That's how it should be. Not jumping to conclusions. I've challenged misinformation on here but I can't be arsed with it because it is pointless.

Continue the cyclical arguments on this by all means but keep me out of it.

 

How would you describe anyone that ‘left’ quarantine?

There’s absolutely nothing in that article that backs up the original incorrect allegations.

But I’ll repeat what I wrote previously. If anyone is surprised that any Aborigine gets mistreated by the Aussie government they must have been living under a rock. And to try to pretend any such mistreatment is more aligned to a COVID conspiracy than to their inherent racism is laughable.

 

Unrelated, but did you know that using the term "Aborigine" is generally considered insensitive and is frowned upon (the closest I can think of is using the term "coloured" nowadays). It's much more well thought of to say "Aboriginal" or "Aboriginal person".

Not being a dick, just trying to help.

 

I wasn’t aware; and thanks

Masks and vaccine passports not working for Germany with another record day.

 

Truly awful?

I have calculated this liberal Greek slap on the opisthio to amount to only .68% of a Viz peppercorn.

 

And the award for the ultimate social distancing tactic goes to Barnsley FC and the west stand initiative.

 

Interesting article from the Guardian suggesting genetics might have a big part to play, being young and fit might not protect you as much as you think.

A sad story. A bit baffling that someone who looked happy to inject himself with steroids (of doubtless dubious origin) drew the line at a vaccine.

 

13 pages... jeez.

Well, my twopenneth.

Covid can be bad.
Vaccines are very safe.
Vaccines can be very useful.
Masks are inconvenient but useful.
Quarantine can be essential.
Restrictions on travel can be necessary.
Lockdowns are dogsh it but can be necessary.
Not everything is a conspiracy.

So, if you're medically able, get vaccinated and wear a mask. Only travel if you have to and if you're required to quarantine as a result then just do it because no one wants another full blown lockdown. Can't believe there is still a discussion going on about any of this to be honest. But vaccines, but mandatory, but quarantine, but flu, but Wayne from Jump says, but Jean on Facebook says, but this obscure document says, oooh look at Germany... yawn.

Don't forget, the royal family are actually lizard people wearing human skin suits and what exactly are they putting in the water??

I think that covers everything. Night night all.

 

I read it as a way of explaining how the correlation between being old/infirm-suffering and young/fit-mild illness to Covid29 can break down due to genetics. As far as reaction to lockdown, I don't know if he was one of those who were left behind in the working from home or furlough schemes, and consequently suffered financially, it certainly seemed to have disrupted his social life and sporting activities, like many of us.

 

I'm sure fining people for not being vaccinated is perfectly acceptable to some on here.
Personally I find it disgusting

 

Just goes to show how liberal the EU are with regard to how their members can devise their own rules. Good old EU!

Until they bring in mandatory jabbing of course.
