Coronavirus in the UK - news, lockdown and discussion

[bimble]

We've also now got no indoors household visiting across the country and discouraging car sharing, as well as pubs closing at 10. Everything else that Boris announced we were already doing here.

Nobody can go inside any other household's house at all?
eta i see, yes.

Is Upsala university a red-tooted neoliberal think tank?

What's happened here is that some academics at Upsala University were trying to bounce their government into bringing in more stringent lockdown measures, and published a paper using modelling 'based on' the code Imperial released, which some mad neoliberal cultist vermin in the states have used to claim that all Imperial's modelling is suspect, who's schtick you've swallowed whole.

How about masks. What's the problem with masks?

I haven't seen it but he reportedly said this:

Dangerous idiocy. Basically says refusing to comply (like those weedy foreigners do) isn't selfishness its just being a freedom loving red-blooded britisher.
Its things like this that make me think his desire to be liked by everybody makes him, in effect, a very stupid man.

It's a very British Trumpian response. Makes sense. He's cunts cunt.

 

[Cloo]

It's a ridiculous statement - we're not 'too freedom loving to obey rules', we're not able to observe rules that are totally fucking unclear from an incompetent government.

 

[Teaboy]

Have all the England restrictions been announced? Or is he saving details for his Eejit at Eight address?

It seems likely they have all been announced as it was in Parliament. I expect this evening will just be repeating what has been said along with the usual bullshit / bluster.

There is no measurable difference to the downward curve as masks were introduced in any country as far as I can see in the data. Since we started wearing them cases have gone up haven’t they?

Zara Sultana asks a great question but unsurprisingly doesn't get a straight answer.

Glad I wasnt the only one who noticed that. I was beginning to wonder.

I suspect this uneducated potato is about to out himself as a complete loon, of the Piers Corbyn variety.

what are they for then, do you think?

Are you saying there is a positive difference since masks were introduced? Would like to see the data

 

[Mr Retro]

Interested to note all the insults and aggressive responses since I questioned the hive mind a mere 24 hours ago. Why is this? What are you all so scared of?

 

[pesh]

jog on you cunt.

Are you seriously suggesting masks don't reduce the risk of infection, or even make it worst?

Try HERE.

Here is the clip for anyone who hasn't seen it.

He's edging towards telling us he knows 'the truth', and we are sheeple.

Fears include ignorant clowns spreading their ignorance, leading to an increase in death.

why do you think they've brought in mandatory mask wearing?

Must be a preemptive strike to ensure the conditions required to obscure the state of the nations teeth post-brexit are obtained ahead of schedule.

You know that famously the murder rate rises when more ice cream is sold?

Or a means to foil the Chinese communist plot to gain control over us via facial recognition camera networks & databases.

I think people are being overly harsh. If you meet or know someone irl with the same questions do you not try to find them the answers like here’s evidence mask wearing drops infection rates?

I'm scared you'll answer my question asking how you think letting covid run free will help with the cancer and mental health issues you're concerned a lockdown will adversely affect.

People get bored of that approach once they put the time into comprehensive, fact-based answers which are then ignored in favour of the same old drool.

I dont have much time for pandemic menaces, especially when they think a herd mentality explains our disdain for their ignorance.

Pardon my ignorance of parliamentary procedure, but is there ever a right of reply after such a (typical) non-response?

"I don't know what question the Right Honourable Arsehole thinks he's answered there, but it certainly wasn't the one which was asked. Now, <repeat original question>"

Usually I say 'the website you're linking to is run by nazis, I'm not sure I'd take their information at face value' or 'here's some holocaust denial by the same guy you're quoting, are you sure he's a trustworthy source?'

He's been given links, he's ignored them, and continued to post nonsense, fuck him.

I was quite polite to you. I did point out some of the more obviously untrue and demonstrably false things you said. I also helpfully suggested that you need to get a bit more clued up on the subject. Unfortunately you completely ignored it as you will this no doubt. I think you've gone down the rabbit hole and will wait with bated breath for your great reveal.

I used facts and figures backed up by graphs and relevant articles and didn't use cursing or aggressive posting

I can if you like?
