Stop talking about the pandemic in the pandemic thread?
If Your So Indifferent To The UK Then Why Dont You Go Live There?More politics than Pandemic. It is revealing, how badly they've been shown up to be useless, but I don't think there's much to add. They're useless, we know that. But the wider inadequacies in the global system are interesting and underrated. Who cares about the UK? Fuck it.
Something like 80 or 90% of the population needs antibodies for herd immunity to occur. We're on less than 7% at the moment.I guess the last chance for the current immunity concept is that the likes of Ireland and New Zealand with very few cases will get smashed to shit in the second wave as no-one has any resistance while the UK rides it out as all the vulnerable are locked away and major cities have developed some kind of immunity/resilience.
If the winter wave takes a good run at the UK for the second time there will be no defense
The scientific evidence of face coverings … that’s been growing. So I do think that in shops it’s very important to wear a face covering.” “Face covering”! I wonder if Boris called condoms “penis coverings” when he wasn’t wearing those. Over the past long months of dealing with the coronavirus, perhaps the prime minister has often been forced to point out that he is just one of those guys who is too big for masks. Maybe they cut off his circulation or something. Normally, he might suggest, countries prefer the sensation of being governed by a maskless Boris Johnson. So … this feels like it’s your problem, not his?
You are literally morphing into an angry letter to the Sunday Telegraph before our very eyes.Who cares what she thinks, apart from Guardian readers? And who cares what they think?
I could, of course, point out that the bare death count is only the tip of the iceberg because we're seeing so many people who've "recovered" from covid-19 showing serious and probably irreversible organ damage, but I'm boring even myself by pointing that out.
I don't get it. You've had this bug yourself and by your own admission you're still not quite 'better'. Wouldn't you rather not have caught it in the first place?Would need precise figures and whether the proportion of dead:ill has changed significantly.
I always thought your name was ironic, didn't realise it was cos you were being employed to dismiss points critical of the government. Hiding in plain sight I suppose.Who cares what she thinks, apart from Guardian readers? And who cares what they think?
