"placebo"?

Which is in complete contrast to the virus itself, if that harms or kills you, you have all the legal rights in the entire world behind you, so absolutely nothing to worry about. Oh, hang on, wait a minute, that's not right is it? Survival of the fittest doesn't just mean 'physical' fitness, it also includes people who have the mental capacity to figure out, on balance, what is likely to contribute to their survival. Some people clearly don't have this!

Just some fag packet maths... 70 million people in the country. Vaccine is circa 90% effective. IF, big IF, every one of the 70 million have two jabs, that still leaves around 7 million that will potentially test positive. If each of those 7 million come into contact with 10 other people AND everyone has the app, that's 77 million isolation events (some people will have to do it at least twice). Test, track and trace is only effective when there are small numbers of infections (Australia, NZ are good examples). For us, it is potentially crippling for society, especially given the vaccine take up and the level of serious illness that we are seeing (very little!). Still, at least we finally got the system to work, might as well get our money's worth from it

Which sounds simple, but having had a look at the Ts & Cs to 'release' key workers, you need to contact DEFRA first by email, outlining the case for the workers to be released and allow them to make a decision. Defra are dealing with five sectors : food production and supply; waste; water; veterinary medicines; and essential chemicals. I suspect, given the number of people who may take up the offer to send an email to DEFRA, that this process is probably going to take at least a week to complete anyway, so you may as well suck it up and isolate! Not sure this rule change is going to have the effect it's supposed to have!

Absolutely mental! Even a stopped clock is right twice a day, so the chances of the press being right some of the time is quite high, so yes, sometimes we believe the media to be correct. Sometimes, we also believe the media to exaggerate what we already know to be true in order to sensationalise and make more money. It would appear that the only person who believes the media is wrong, all the time, is you - although you seem to be forgetting that your nutjobbery conspiracy theories are also published in the 'media', which is obviously correct when you believe it As for world leaders being 'ordered' to do 'stuff' by their paymasters, we know! Although the overwhelming majority of us accept this as 'lobbying' rather than being ordered! Only the most foolish Governments in the world would deliberately upset the big businesses that operate in their countries.

If we are selling a player, even thinking about accepting an offer for half the value will trigger a meltdown. If we are buying a player, if the selling club don't accept our offer for half their valuation a meltdown will be triggered.

Don't worry, 'we' know all about issues that can be exploited

Like an old, white, Rashford?

First public test has gone well https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-57929544 Obviously I can't say too much, but.....

No need for that kind of logic when there are conspiracy theories being discussed....

Not if you've had your vaccine, then it becomes intuition

I was so confused the first time I was asked for a Barm Cake in Manchester!

Ah, you need Bill Gates.

Naan of those.

Nope, it's only you that agrees the media news about the virus is 'BS' (and made up). The rest of us are realistic enough to know that the media are prone to making exaggerations in order to sell their goods. That's quite a big difference, but not one I'd expect you to understand.

Soggy's going to get through a whole box of tissues at this news https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-57930901

Nothing gets past you!

So many people moaning about being 'pinged'! Isn't that just evidence that they've finally got the shit show that is test and trace sorted out?

😲

He IS the cabal - use your loaf!

The beauty of Collins's batshit crazy conspiracy theory is that 'nobody knows anything' except for the mysterious 'cabal' that runs everything, but nobody knows who is in the cabal. This way the looney tunes gang can create perfect plausible deniability and can keep coming up with increasingly mental scenarios that they blame on a secret society that no-one can ever prove exists, therefore they must exist.... I'll call this the 'hula hoop' conspiracy because there will never be an end....

Are you saying the UK will rejoin the single market?

Looks like Everton's (planned) new stadium will ruin the Liverpool waterfront and has contributed to them losing their World Heritage status! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-57879475

We know which one they chose! They chose to invent a virus that kills off the old people. These "elite" aren't very fucking bright are they?

Read 5% of the posts on your ignore list but manage to put your customary 'confused face' reaction on 90% of them, how does that work?
