Certainly. And then there are other sceptics who believe itâs just a conspiracy on behalf of wibble wobble wibble.
The old saw about lies, damned lies and statistics has never been proven more as the figures are twisted and turned to make all positions proven.
Me, I believe lockdown works when applied properly and enforced. Now thatâll get the OIUTFers agitated, particularly the enforcement bit. Screaming and whinging about their rights and freedoms being taken away. Well tough. You have neither the right nor the freedom to endanger large sections of the population with your selfishness.
Would there be an uninhabited island somewhere we could invite them too, throw in a few confirmed cases of Covid and leave them at it? We could even leave a lorryload or two of ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, disinfectant and any other quack medicine they want. Weâll see about their herd immunity then. Oh! Theyâll not need any doctors or nurses cos, sure itâs only a flu.
The virus had been floating around Europe since at least November 2019. Wuhan alone had two daily flights to the state of California alone prior to their lockdown. Hundreds of thousands of lads from wuhan left the city to go elsewhere in china in the week leading up to their lockdown.
Iâll reserve my judgement on the official narrative
Weâve already banned drinking alcohol & driving but there are still some cunts about who persist.
Yes ppl die from excess consumption of alcohol and fatty foods. But theyâre not killing other people by doing it. So thatâs apersonal choice in many cases. Thereâs another argument about treatment of people whose lifestyle makes them ill but thatâs not what this is about.
There are laws which constrict your right to drive. Why? For the most part theyâre there for public safety. Maybe youâd like all those laws scrapped. Let anybody and everybody drive in whatever manner they choose. Thatâs the equivalent of your OIUTF stance.
If they are taking up ICU space that is denied another person they are. They also place an undue burden on health system.
Post Covid will governments be breve enough to point out the biggest risk factor apart from
Age was obesity and people are killing themselves through sheer gluttony.
Itâs a fair enough subject for debate. People do need to take personal responsibility for their health. Of course, the health systems North & South are very different and I donât really know how the Southâs works in detail.
New Zealand implemented lockdown. Very few fatalities, economy up and running, people back at sporting events, cafes and restaurants open. Clearly works if done properly.
Restrictions without border controls are not lockdowns. Allowing non essential travel in and out of the country falls outside the definition of a lockdown.
Was that the case? Just the 4? Fuck me, I even bought into the âshoot the cuntsâ mantra that day. Their crimes were minor in hindsight.
Another thing that grates by the NPHETâs/George Leeâs of this world is the line about it being only a Mickey Mouse strain of a thing last year and now itâs a totally different beast.
Iâll take that chance. On your point about alcohol only harming the individual thatâs completely wrong. The link between alcohol and violence, domestic abuse, sexual assault, gbh, neglect and so on is well established. We have accepted this as a society as prohibition doesnât work.
