Exactly which âdefinitive pronouncementsâ?
Youâre telling me we have to maintain restrictions that other countries have removed, in some cases months ago. You have nothing to support this, bar, âthe borderâ.
âGaslightingâ etc etc. The general doomsaying.
The insistence that we must maintain restrictions when the evidence from elsewhere shows that their removal has not had adverse effects.
Oh I think we should. Because otherwise youâre gambling. Why is it clever to gamble when you can maintain some sensible public health measures which donât hugely inconvenience people?
I mean itâs like saying that you shouldnât wear a seat belt.
Do you think thereâs any point where going to school physically for social reasons as well as educational reasons is more important than the risk of contracting Covid?
Norway to end restrictions: âWe can now live as normalâ
Updated / Friday, 24 Sep 2021 11:48
The Norwegian Prime Minister said: âNow the time has come to return to a normal daily lifeâ
Norway will reopen society tomorrow, ending pandemic-curbing restrictions that have limited social interaction and hobbled many businesses.
âIt is 561 days since we introduced the toughest measures in Norway in peacetime ⌠Now the time has come to return to a normal daily life,â Prime Minister Erna Solberg told a news conference.
The decision to no longer require social distancing will allow culture and sports venues to utilise their full capacity, rather than just a portion of seats, while restaurants can fill up and nightclubs reopen.
Ms Solberg had so far implemented the first three stages of a four-step plan to remove social and economic restrictions imposed since March of last year, but the final step was postponed several times amid worries over infection rates.
âIn short, we can now live as normal,â Ms Solberg said.
About 76% of all Norwegians have now received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, while 67% of the population is fully vaccinated according to the Institute of Public Health.
âI want to say: thank you very much Norway,â the Prime Minister added.

The same as Roses in Spain where most people speak French and you will be greeted in French in almost every establishment. You would have similar scenarios in Belgium & Netherlands and in Germany & Austria and in Switzerland and numerous countries as well as in the Balkans. Loads of interaction and daily border crossings between communities. To say otherwise is just a blatant lie.

We all know that but our resident loon has no moral compass when it comes to the outright lies and misinformation he spreads to support his crackpot theories.
You would wonder why people feel the need to gaslight others, you really would.

I asked what âdefinitive pronouncementsâ?
You havenât provided any.
âGaslightingâ is a description of the public messaging that is coming from the Government and the likes of Philip Nolan as regards schools.
They are gaslighting. Theyâre not in a position to say schools are safe and they know they arenât. I mean thatâs textbook gaslighting.
If youâre talking about doomsaying, I havenât been engaging in any. Saying it as it is about schools is not doomsaying. Itâs pointing out the obvious.
Now there are a few posters I can think of who are engaging in doomsaying. At least two posters here are openly predicting that a new super variant will occur because of vaccines. One of them is openly talking about antibody dependent enhancement and telling us âwe could be fuckedâ, and by fucked, he means proper fucked.
All of this based on fringe extremists who are dismissed by pretty much the entirety of the scientific community.
Now thatâs actual doomsaying. Have you called that? I sure havenât seen you do so. You seem far more offended at my entirely reasonable analysis.
See what I mean about definitive pronouncements?
Itâs isnât like saying you shouldnât wear a seatbelt at all.
It isnât gambling. Most of the most directly comparable countries to us (that is, all of the EU, not Israel and not the UK) have already removed all of these restrictions. Many of them for quite some time. Weâve seen how it has progressed.
So itâs not gambling, youâre definitively wrong on that point.
I have a good few people on ignore so I donât really know what youâre on about. It seems like whataboutery, why canât we stick to the points weâre discussing?
I asked this a while back twice Iâd be interested in the response.
No I donât.
It is.
It is gambling.
âDefinitivelyâ. Now thatâs a definitive pronouncement. And based on absolutely nothing, except, some other countries are doing something, so it must be right.
During the pandemic, that has been a very silly thing to believe.
I read somewhere that their government accepted that lockdowns were futile and apologised to the Norwegian peopleâŚthey might just have been trolling lads on tfk

When youâre vaccinated.
Iâve also asked why were our resident lunatics like Mike Hunt and Sid so at ease with people dying from winter flu on an annual basis without any call from them for societal restrictions? Just a bit of obfuscation is all you get.
If only we had designed a test for flu and arbitrarily assigned deaths of sick and unwell people to a positive flu test within 28 days of their deathâŚ
Oh the irony
You avoided the question, again.
