lockdowns will only be brought in if hospitalisations rise to the point where there’s strain on nhs. They only do one thing, delay the spread, rather than stop it, so really just buy us time. Hoping the vaccines and boosters (if brought in) and natural immunity will mean hospitalisations remain under control, unless a new variant pops up, but as NW says, who knows ?!

Of course, there will be a new variant.

Italy is rolling out boosters later this month to the most vulnerable and health staff.

We’re at more risks of new variants the longer the less developed parts of the world don’t get vaccinated. Whats the situation with the pharmaceutical companies and patents etc? Is that the barrier that is stopping vaccine rollout in these places?

Makes sense

It's supply, larger countries are buying up all the stock

Just to be clear, if ever I did need help, you would be the last person I would be approaching for it.

No time for the mass conspiracy theory bullshit.

I agree - look at the state of this twat who no longer posts on here who thought 5G was the devil incarnate

You’ve got to admire the sheer dedication and obsessiveness

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

I’m fully expecting another lockdown so going to the pub as often as I can now.

Glad I put a bar in a couple of weeks ago

Not great stats today really

 

[David O'Day]

Not great stats today really

209 dead and nearly 8k in hospital is not good

 

[fernandopartridge]

Deaths are really increasing exponentially, I'm interested to know why as cases have been broadly steady for a few weeks

Yes I'm sure the numbers are made up and the government wants to lock down again

Well one thing is for sure. The government must love you. Doing all the work for them.

Numbers can be manipulated or reported to paint pictures.

Schools going back will soon give a headline and cause some panic with all the additional tests being done.

They’re more likely to bring in restrictions again rather than going straight to a lockdown.

On a more practical and worthwhile subject than irrationality and nonsense... these boosters, what's the long term plan? For them to end up like the flu vaccine, where certain groups get them annually, but others can pay to have them if they want to?

The plan seems to be to offer them and then annually ruin everything anyway

Hey all

After the hardest 3 weeks of my life I am pleased to post that my wife is now HOME!

At one point 2 weeks ago they told she needed a c section and ventilator. They were not optimistic about her surviving really. Csnt explain to youb
that feeling When nurse tells you that they won't lie and your wife is critically ill

But God bless the NHS they saved her life by God's grace

Get jabbed people. But.more importantly don't take anyone for granted

Thank you all for your well wishes on this thread or chasing up on me in DM. I really appreicate it

Mrs covcity4life is back!

Missed this great news mate. Hold her tight.

Cool so the government is faking the death figures

You utter plum

Well this is because no long term plan exists.

Like I said, numbers can be spun and stats can be manipulated.

Ironic really that people spend their days slating the government for their lies but that's gospel.

What would the government have to gain by enforcing lockdowns?

Piss off all the crazy conspiracy theorists.

WAKE UP SHEEPLE

Would save them sorting out the NHS, for one.

They’d end up losing more because of the slowing down of the economy. They’re much more likely to reintroduce social distancing and masks though

Not sure why you're so obsessed with thinking this government wants lockdowns.

They've consistently left the decision until way too late in order to try and keep things open until the situation has got so bad it's unavoidable.

Their donors and mates want things open so they can make more money.

We get you don't like lockdowns. That doesn't make it some massive conspiracy.

Can you point out where I have said conspiracy?

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

I'm sure someone asked before regarding hospital admissions but I can't find it.......how many of the 8k in hospital were actually admitted with covid compared to those that caught it in there or are just asymptomatic but simply tested +ve?

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Can you point out where I have said conspiracy?

You practically accused the government of making up the death statistics as an excuse to bring lockdowns back
