A friend of mine is in the TA - or Army Reserves as he tells me to say. He couldn't go on a skiing trip due to not having the jibber jabber. He found it more than funny when they all came back with Covid.

I know we're all a bit over the Covid malarky due to the Ukraine situation, but here goes.. It can't be claimed that the two statements I've highlighted are correct. The only evidence that can be claimed is modelling, and look where that has got us. There are many questions: Which lockdown...

Everyone regardless of viewpoint will cling to someone or something which suits their agenda. Human nature. Kudos to her for having the proverbial balls for admitting to mistakes. None of us are infallible.

Is she an outlier though, really? Since BBC, Sky, ITV tend to give the majority of airtime to those with the 'correct' views, perhaps she isn't as much of an outlier as perceived? Besides, if she does hold a minority view, does that mean she's wrong? It was once the view of outliers that...

Lots of common sense stuff here which has been forgotten about over the course of the pandemic. Really you can sum the whole thing up by saying government have no control over a natural phenomenon. The politicalisation of a virus, the tiresome obsession with 'safety' and subsequent nannying...

You will cause heads to explode when people try to come to grips with someone being lockdown-skeptic but also aligning themselves with the left side of politics.

Again, this is not 300 deaths a day from Covid. It's 300 deaths of people who have at some point within the last 28 days had a positive PCR test. Never in history have we tested so much for a specific respiratory virus. Seek and you shall find. That's not to say that Covid isn't contributing...

I don't know, truthfully. Although as a layman I imagine there has to be a way of giving us a more accurate representation of the deadliness of Covid. It just always seemed a strange way to measure deaths from a pandemic which has justified as much government intervention as has taken place...

I wonder what the death stats will look like once the 'deaths for any reason within 28 days of a positive test' clause is dropped.

Agreed. If there was an argument against NPI's, it is only amplified now.

My point is: I'm guessing Tavy is reading a stat somewhere which states that 20% of infections end up in hospital beds. This seems far far too high. If that is correct each and every one of us should know a handful of people who ended up in ICU. I suspect that the real data is 20% of...

Did it? Or were the infections happening in hospital whilst being treated for other things?

Ref the vaccine - We also went from just needing to vaccinate the vulnerable amongst us, to everyone under the sun needing it and not being able to participate in certain aspects of society without it at a rapid pace. Given that we can now see it acts poorly at stopping spread, the fact...

Probably the same figure as those who caught Covid and didn't get sick.

What percentage of these cases were people who were actually sick?

I can't quite believe I'm reading this. This was one of the earliest arguments against Neil Ferguson's modelling. He assumed that due to Covid's novelty there was no pre-existing immunity among the populous. One of the assertions made by those sat on the lockdown-sceptic side of the...

I wonder what this 'living' with Covid plan is going to be. I imagine some sort of alert system akin to the terrorism threat procedure. If they keep up the mass testing, and therefore use community cases to outline the current alert level, I don't see how it's going to be any different to...

That's complete rubbish. He states he has had Covid ergo he has antibodies, so he has immunity. As good as or better than an MRNA induced antibody response. How is he living off the backs of the vaccinated?

It was almost certainly here before 27th November. Just as Covid Mk1 was almost certainly here months before the hypochondriacs took governance.

There's lots of stuff I have no idea about, but you know sometimes - as human being with a functioning brain - you just have a feeling about something? But you can't necessarily confirm that with irrefutable evidence. That's all it is. Opinion, speculation, perspective are some things you...
