People are always going to catch it! People are far more likely to end up in hospital / in intensive care if they have refused a vaccination. Whilst wearing a mask 'may' reduce some of those infections (although those that have refused the vaccine probably won't take any other steps to help stop themselves catching the virus), maybe the question should be 'do we want to protect those selfish cunts'?

Today's article here , lacking in detail but it does have this quote : But yeah, I'm all for more restrictions to protect the selfish cunts that refused to have a vaccine....

Pretty sure one of them got sacked for that...

Like these guys?

Malcolm X?

Great idea! We could go all out and have one of these (apologies for the offensive picture of TCWTB).

I imagine the 'talk of lockdowns' stems from my post from Tuesday, where what I actually said was : Eseentially highlighting the pattern that these campaigns have been taking over the past 18 months - new variant, more cases, NHS under pressure > lockdowns. I see today's news is now mentioning 100k cases per day and that we should brace ourselves : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58990658 Weren't we meant to hit that magical figure in August but failed miserably? Despite the rhetoric of rising cases etc etc, there still seems to be a reluctance to publish the data regarding deaths versus vaccination status. The most 'up to date' figures go up to July 2021 and can be found here the first 'main point' of the article states :

Absolutely. As has been said repeatedly since the epidemic started, the only truly reflective figure is all cause mortality compared to previous years. There is no single, definitive reporting criteria from country to country, so making comparisons is largely irrelevant. It was mentioned back in the summer that around 90%(?) of all deaths at that time were unvaccinated people. Would be interesting to see if that is still the case as well as hospitalisations...

We've hovered around the 100 - 150 deaths per day mark since July whilst hospitalisations have been around 900 - 1100 per day : https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/deaths Infection numbers have differed massively in that time (60k down to 20k and up to 40k per day) : https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/cases - giving a 'death rate' of 1 per 266 cases. Meanwhile, France is currently averaging around 30 deaths per day - based on average cases of around 5k per day, giving a death rate of 1 per 166 cases (nearly TWICE as bad as the UK). Either the UK is suddenly going to become incredibly bad at managing hospitalisations or France is going to become incredibly good in order to reach your mythical 9 times as many people infected / hospitalised / dead. Like I said, nothing about the virus has been linear, so forgive me for not accepting your made up figures, given you've provided zero evidence.....

The real test will be if they can perform on a wet Monday night in February

Poole to Pompey is do-able....

Lol. Still got me on ignore then

Why? Absolutely nothing about the virus has been linear to date. Maybe you've also missed the vaccination program we've been running which has meant that hospitalisations haven't manifested into deaths....

There were more daily deaths at the beginning of July. I imagine hospitals always get full at this time of year, add to that the fact that we know the virus has historically spread more easily in hospitals, and we'll end up with more deaths recorded despite the actual cause - i.e. pensioner could be in hospital with chest infection from flu, tests positive after catching the virus in hospital, dies from chest infection, but gets recorded as covid... A scale back would be horrendous, look at the effects caused by the last lock downs! Shield the vulnerable, sure, but don't restrict anyone who doesn't want to be restricted.

All of that, or £90m. Tough choice....

Classic SOG

Finally! Must be time to start talking about winter lockdowns, hospitals can't cope, flu etc etc... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-58965650

Does this make you a racist or is it just everyone else who may have the same opinion that are the racists?

Gaslighting? Isn't that something that happens within relationships?

Are they 'determined' or are they 'told to' by their clubs for the optics?

Rugby also has reasonably well behaved players who give respect to the ref (game / rules in general). Imagine having 'ref mike' broadcast live on TV, you'd have nearly every word 'beeped' out as the players from both sides surround him / her and call them a 'fucking cunt' or the commentators will have a meltdown apologising for the bad language that you might have heard...

Christ! Can you imagine the interviews! There's a reason why they are refs and not TV 'personalities'....

He won't understand unless you can screenshot a tweet of someone else's opinion (but pop it on the Brexit thread if you find one )

Impartial and incompetent are not the same thing.
