You don't think the Government, and all of its press and media support, have been doing precisely this since the end of April?

And given that you feel that you have to pidgeon hole people then you must be left wing.

 

[waterloowelshy]

does this look like a persuasive success to you?View attachment 226588

But yet people cant see any correlation between such a drop in GDP and future poverty / death rates.

these days we on the left don't use pigeonholes. we use email instead of leaving things for people in those antiquated racks.

in the future we're all dead. not sure what you think you're getting at but it isn't as clever as you think it is.

This waterloowelshy loon hasn't posted since 2013, until turning up in the last few days and shitting all over covid threads with their madness, this thread in particular has been totally ruined.

They need a thread ban, or ideally a ban from from the whole covid forum.

For having a different view? Amazing.

I have these things called children. I'd quite like to be able to feed them during their lifetime.

shouldn't you be doing something about that, then, rather than pissing about here?

Wow. Thats an amazing put down. well done.

 

[frogwoman]

Exactly. Mentioned. Not the only cause.

Something has to have contributed to death to be mentioned on a death certificate . If you had a cold 15 years ago it wouldn't be mentioned.

No, for being a loon.

You only reappeared yesterday, and on a thread of 31 pages, you are now the top poster with 72 posts.

You are not only a loon, but an obsessive loon.

Bit ott.

The argument being made is not an uncommon one, its not exactly a fringe view. There will inevitably be a point where the damage the government restrictions are doing will outweigh the positives of protecting people. The actions the government take will kill as well, its just a case of where you stand on how far is to far and the risk / reward scale.

Personally I don't think protecting the vulnerable whilst simultaneously having no covid restrictions is possible. Which leaves us with some restrictions or a shrug of the shoulders and a load of people dying needlessly and you could make an argument that our economic situation is so bad simply because the government failed to act quick enough.

Its called responding to responses. If I hadn't responded then no doubt I would have been accused of running away. Its nice to see that Urban is still a vaccuous echo chamber where any dissenting voices are sworn at and bullied. But yeah, you are the 'nice' guys.

Nah, I've been pigeonholed plenty by right-wingers.
Although what you did could be seen to be pigeon-holing people, to the extremely pedantic.

Empathy is a burden.

edit: was it a vacuous echo chamber back in 2013? It's all become a bit of a blur...

Here's where you end up when Right-wingnuts like waterloowelshy run your society: Family sues Verizon after worker who 'wasn't given any PPE' dies of Covid-19

Still, no problem, his chance of dying was 'miniscule' wasn't it?

 

[frogwoman]

To be fair I think people have basically given up trying to argue logically on this one.

Hang on, when did the logical argument happen again?

A representative quote from this article:

"Hundreds of essential workers around the US have died after contracting Covid-19, including over 900 healthcare workers, at least 100 grocery store workers and 93 meat plant workers in the first three months of the pandemic, and 132 public transit workers in New York City.

Several families of Covid-19 victims have filed lawsuits against employers for alleged lack of safety protections for workers from the coronavirus, as Republicans in Congress and some state legislators push for legislation to grant employers immunity."

Well my post about the herd immunity threshold was quite logical if I say so myself.

You're not a 'dissenting voice', you're a voice that doesn't seem to understand a hefty percentage of what they're talking about.

Your posts are inaccurate, full of wild speculation, draw likely unrelated things together to 'prove a point', and seem to be skating perilously close to right wing 'don't worry about the old and vulnerable, think of the economy' idiocy.

I will have to look it up.
The herd immunity stuff seems as odd now as when the Tories trotted it out in March.

I don't think we are due a vaccine any time soon which will get us to that magical goal either.
We might have an iffy vaccine which a lot of people refuse...

edit: actually, it's hard to tell which point you were responding to, since it wasn't quoted, but it looks like its in response to a "we have to just keep getting it until we are immune" type comment.

Are the two mutually exclusive?

Nothing wrong with wild speculation, drawing likely unrelated things together to prove a point, those are meat and drink on urban

But skating, that's beyond the pale
