Apparently Boris Johnson and his team were briefed that the would have to wear masks in all areas by the hospital trust the other day and he had to be repeatedly told to put his mask back on after repeatedly taking it off despite the briefing. Buffoon.

Why would he do that though? Still trying to demonstrate exceptionalism to his supporters? Why would you do it there when he put himself in ICU with the same sort of behaviour?

It's the privilged upbringing that tells them they're exempt from the rules and can do what they like. Rules are for the lower orders to keep them in check.

It's just distraction activity, nothing else. I don't know why the media bothers to engage on it.

Anyway, good to see that case numbers and now hospitalisations appear to be on the decline, if the UK winter wave has topped out now you have to say that the advisors (who released restrictions to avoid a mid-winter peak) have got it spot on. Let's hope that's true,

I've just tested positive.

Woke up Sunday with a bit of a tickly cough but usually do after a heavy weekend and it continued into Monday when I was also a bit headachey but again I'd been on the lash Thursday, Friday and Saturday so just felt like I was getting over the weekend.

Went for a PCR test Tuesday as I have the inlaws living with us for a bit (probably wouldn't have gone otherwise) and then woke up this morning and it had basically broken out into a cold with snotty nose, sneezing etc. so definitely though I just had the cold that is going around but nope turns out I am positive.

Cheers lads but literally it just feels like a mild head cold.

I'm still working, well posting on here, just isolating till Tuesday in my bedroom so have full control of the remote, just need to message when I need something to drink or eat (I did ask if I needed a bell to ring but didn't go down too well) so it's like a mini holiday.

Not down playing the virus in anyway just doesn't seem like I have been effected that bad so hopefully shows the vaccine is doing its job.

Missus and her parents just done tests as well and they're all negative so, touch wood, everything is ok.

Does anybody have any covid denier friends or people they know?

I have one friend who is a huge denier and regurgitates theories from an attempt to implement communism globally to biological manipulation. Another person I knew from school just straight up saying it’s a hoax, taking the piss out of people wearing masks etc and making loads of angry videos.

What the fuck is up with these people? Are they just scared of needles?
Genuine question, does anyone have any theories?
Click to expand...

No, but it depends on what your definition is on covid denier and anti-vaxxer, however.

I get that feeling that anyone who is remotely skeptical of government policy, or vaccine mandates gets thrown into a category with the moonbats a bit too easily, and as I have said before, it is similar to moderate brexiteers getting thrown in the bin with the racists back in 2016. I have been labelled as a conspiracy theorist, despite pointing out things like the below would happen, which is now becoming reality. I do however, see the positive side of the vaccine (but not in all age cases), and understand previously why some restrictions have been put in place to keep people safe. My biggest issue is how we go forwards from here.

I´m not really sure what you expected Tony. This is the reality of what will happen. That is why I hate this culture we have going on at the moment and the segregation that is being pushed by the government, and the media for that matter. It is never going to end the way it is going.

Travelled to and from Leeds last couple of days. Good job we have vaccines and treatments cause no one doing social distancing and very few wearing masks. It’s no wonder the transmission rates are so high and over a 1000 are dying weekly

When was the last time you had your prostate checked?

Whether or not I have had one, two, three, or zero vaccines is absolutely none of your business.

Power and control, fear of the unknown. It's harder to let others have control, which is actually what happens when you allow somebody else to inject you with something, trust the people who've come up with it, and the people administering it.

There's more control in not having the vaccine, as that's exclusively your decision. You're then also not granting power over you to somebody else. That ends up articulating itself as a conspiracy.

You've got to feel sorry for them I suppose. This is pretty much my amateur theory on it too. Something about retaining some control/grasping to the notion that you know better than the experts.

I don't even think it comes down, on a psychological level, to thinking you know better. I think it's basically fear of losing control, and the best way to keep it is reject said knowledge.

A couple of the links I posted did, however, suggest it's a lack of capacity to process medical information that also contributes to it - the ability to misinterpret the information, draw wrong conclusions etc... and that's played on by certain anti-vaxxers of course, to try and pull the vulnerable to their 'side' as it were.

I had my prostate checked during peek Covid... but because of bloody Covid the notes got lost somewhere, so I had to have it checked again a couple of months back. Fun times.

Did anybody really social distance anyway properly? Plus why should they when you see people squeezed in like sardines in the house of Commons & at football matches etc? Time to move on from the old social distancing guff surely

I was expecting those who have refused any vaccinations to be inconvenienced by their decision before any age group who’ve had at least some vaccines.

Of course they did, we as a family barely saw people for months, or spoke on doors steps at most. I know some fucked it off but I don't think it's questionable that people did it in general.

So you haven’t. I have had two and will have a booster as I don’t want to be responsible for other people dying

Why won’t you answer when I will?

I’ve never had my prostate checked but I have had checks for a form of skin cancer which is negative and I’ve got my first flu jab next week

So vaxxed or not?

Earlier this year. PSA blood test are really simple. Had my first this year to put a marker in the sand for all subsequent PSA tests I have. Pleased to report all healthy, I have a prostate that defies my years.

Worth doing Pete. I had my PSA levels checked by this charity

PSA Testing

mypsatests.org.uk

They were running an event in my hometown earlier this year so I signed up. In and out in a couple of minutes, just took some blood.

Its a bit rich pretending to be concerned for other people when it sounds like you haven't been vaccinated and you don't wear a mask.
