Happy to invade other countries but scared of the sniffles. Him and Xi both seem paranoid about getting the Hugo Chazev treatment. One of the weirder things I learned during all of this is that some of the American scientists working at the Wuhan lab were previously researching gain of function research into viruses that cause cancer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry for anyone with any underlying health problems which might put them at greater risk should they catch Covid but why is there a proportion of these people who feel that those who are fit and healthy should continue to have their lives restricted to "protect" them? It's never been the way of things before and it shouldn't be now. We’ve been getting vaccinated That is what protects people As for make, I said it on here before in tongue in cheek, but if you weren’t going to ban the people who are “mask exempt” from going out into crowded places, then what is the point is making the rest of us wear them since anyone could opt out of it for whatever reason they wanted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Had to laugh when Sturgeon mentioned that people involved in "Track and Trace" would be losing their jobs. Pity she did not show the same compassion to those in the hospitality industry when she repeatedly shafted them.Track and Trace... A call centre that has existed for less than 2 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 It's slightly ironic that a large number of the Track & Trace workers only started working there after losing their previous jobs due to various Covid measures.Sturgeon didn't seem to give to give a toss about these people previously when she was shutting down sectors of the economy and begging for money to close even more. It's rich of her try and use them now to highlight how reckless the Tories are apparently being. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find she makes no apologies for keeping people safe! 3 hours ago, scottsdad said: BBC Scotland this morning interviewed two folk from the shielding community. I wasn't expecting quite so much anger, but the two who were on were furious. As far as they see it, removing these "protections" is discriminating against the disabled. It's a human rights violation. This will be why Sturgeon has been dreading this moment for so long. Knowing it will be seen as an act of betrayal for these people. Nae luck. 2 hours ago, scottsdad said: Imagine spending years at university, learning. Imagine then getting a prized place as a PhD student.

Elixir Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 It's worth noting that we never saw scenes like in Hong Kong in recent weeks on ole 'Plague Island'. It's almost like the reality of mitigation and not the pursuit of fantasy elimination was the only option. I wonder if that will ever become apparent to certain grifting scientists. Beijing will also be absolutely shitting it over this potentially happening all over mainland China. You have to wonder if they'll truly become North Korea esque in terms of no-one in or out for years to come because of it, or if they'll let the inevitable happen after the CCP congress later this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 A bit of perspective 75 Covid-related deaths (not necessary deaths as a result of contracting it) out of 1,152. Excess deaths well down. Surely this counts as low risk, unless we as a nation have decided to abolish death completely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes having to wait another four weeks before this utter pish is launched into the sea even more of a joke. It should have been binned immediately. Sturgeon will be absolutely desperate for the Pi variant to emerge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
