Fantastic counter argument to prove me wrong.

Of course though, you don't have one.

Your counter argument yesterday was 'you're a virgin'. Not exactly great debating skills.

There is no rational debate with you. Anyone that harbours even slight doubts or questions about the current situation is branded a “lockdown lover”. You’re incapable of empathy to others’ situations - you’ve demonstrated that enough times.

Literally no one has said we should remain locked down (not that we even are at the moment, don’t know whether you’ve noticed). All that’s said is that there are valid questions as to the impact of the Indian variant. The one that was hospitalising a significant number of young people over there just weeks ago. We’ve got three weeks to decide what to do, why not fucking learn from the past and use that time wisely.

But yeah, if that makes me a “lockdown lover” in your mind then sound. Go lick your neighbour or whatever you want to do.

Rational debate? Take a look around you. This thread, the politics one, the brexit one. The outcome is always the same and most sensible minded people don't get involved because the same people ruin and take over each and every one.

I haven't even called you a 'lockdown lover' but here you are getting all upset because I've pointed out that as soon as someone posts some potential good news about the pandemic, the same people come firing out of the cannons every time to try and knock it down.

The whole 'you don't have any empathy' line is lazy as well, and just demonstrates the only real counter arguments you have to my points are either outrage or insults.

Anyway ..I asked before but the thread got too political at the time .

What are peoples thoughts on the growing opinion that the virus DID infact come from the lab in wuhan ?

It was ofcourse pushed away by media as a right wing Conspiracy when this all began

Both the market and lab seem reasonable and plausible. Will we ever know?

Doubt we'll never know. China aren't exactly open about things at the best of times so if they have made a massive fuck up they aren't going to own up to it. The secrecy was the reason the US had an epidemiologist embedded in the disease control agency over there, so she could raise the alarm if something was happening but Trump got rid of that position a few months before covid was first detected.

Does seem a huge coincide that the Institute of Virology is in Wuhan and they were studying the risk of coronaviruses transferring from animals, and in particular bats, to humans. Partly funded by the US government. But coincidences do happen so without any actual evidence, and lets be honest if that existed it was likely destroyed long ago, we're never going to know for sure.

I tried to converse with you reasonably and you were just dismissive. The same as you are now.

It doesn't matter if you don't read the Daily Mail, many people do. That means if they are scaremongering to get sales, it still counts as a valid media outlet. Piers Morgan is also a journalist, but because he is on twitter, does that not count?

If you cannot be an adult and have a normal conversation, and accept when someone has proved your point false, then what else is there other than playground insults? How can you sit there with a straight face and actually believe the media have not scaremongered even once. It's extremely bizarre.

You're just chatting absolute rubbish now.

You didn't prove any point false at the point you brought out the playground insult. You made a post, I replied, you came back with a playground insult.

And please point out where I said the media have not scaremongered once.

You are fucking brilliant at taking 2+2 and making 846438 to get angry about something that literally isn't there.

You said the media have reported the pandemic responsibly. I said I disagree and pointed to an article someone else posted as an example.

Now you are playing semantics and saying 'I never said they didn't scaremonger once'. In which case what are you arguing about? Have you actually got nothing better to do? Just because I proved your point invalid, you have now tried to move the goalposts. That concludes our conversation.

You are the angriest person on the off topic board anyway, so I'm not sure why you are trying to paint me with that brush either.

This laughable from start to finish.

It's not semantics. I never said the media haven't scaremongered once. Never claimed to have said that. Once again, you're reading what isn't there. You need to digest things slowly before you work yourself up and respond in a rage.

I'm angry? You're the one outraged about an imaginary argument of locking down forever

I don't care that you called anyone a virgin but don't get upset when someone calls you an imbecile. Don't give it if you can't take it, basic playground rule.

I'm confident we'll be OK. The scientists have to treat every new variant as a potentially more severe threat until they have some workable data in. (Imagine if they just dismissed them all and one turned out to be resistant to the vaccines they get strung up), but fingers crossed nothing will see the need to deviate from the current road map.

Agree, what a crazy headline ! They should be highlighting that after two days of jumps case numbers might’ve settled a little. They love a bit of drama though ! As has been said before, all down to hospitalisations anyway

I’m not sure there’s growing evidence for the lab theory, it’s more just that it’s been legitimised by the news that parts of the US intel community are leaning that way - and they’re not confident on any of the current theories. I think it would have been taken a lot more seriously had it not been pushed by people with seriously dubious motivations and track records.

Anyway, the fact that more than a year on there’s still no consensus tells me that we’ll probably never know either way. Nor do I think much would change if it was proven one way or the other, sadly.

It's a lot more you taking a hint of caution from an expert and going into "they're scaremongering and want us locked down forever" and anyone who points out it's their job to be cautious is a 'lockdown lover'.
