Coronavirus (COVID-19)

[SlipperyP]

If nobody knows about my last point, about one month ago a Swiss female was murdered and raped in our only open to tourism province Phuket.

Only a handful of tourist were/are coming to the place, and this happened.

All over the news was nothing to do with the sorry of the death, if was all about the financial impact.

Our Government then handed 2m baht to the family of the diseased, and apologised, probably gave free flights to Thailand (only to used within 6 months).

Next day our only gold medallist at the Olympics was given 20m baht and made a minister of sport.

Got to love and live this greatness, to really appreciate it.

Come on son, you have a big mouth usually. Tell me what your medical qualifications are. 

Medical qualifications are completely irrelevant to the validity of an argument which is primarily based on statistics.

Even if that wasn’t the case, there are people who have medical qualifications who believe long Covid is being hugely overplayed. 

The notion that you can only challenge things if you have qualifications in that subject is all kinds of mental - I’m sure you don’t need me to exemplify that.

Some hangover in the post for you btw.

Asking a GP about the prevalence of long COVID is like asking a checkout assistant how Tesco can gain market share from Lidl and Aldi.

That's Thailand up to 20% double dunted.  We are jagging about 450,000 on their 2nd jags per day at the moment.

PM said we are going to open up on 1st Oct to tourists and he is keeping with it his pledge.  He said before we had to be at 70% double dosed, which would be on 1st Oct, just out by 50%.

Remember everyone, before you book.

• test on arrival, test on day 4, test on day 10 test before return flight
• If you test positive at anytime, game over....hand over all your credit cards and cash.
• wear those masks 24 hrs per day
• night curfew starts at 9pm until 5am
• you can only stay in government approved hotels
• you can't go anywhere during the day, unless it's one of the government 'routes'
• no alcohol is served. At bars or restaurants. 
• please don't get murdered or raped, it's not good for our business.

See you soon.

Self-reported 'long Covid' IMO.

It's more the weaponisation of 'long covid' as an argument against removing restrictions. GPs may not have a defined or consistent set of criteria that they can go against, but if they were seeing lots of patients presenting with a particular issue, we'd hear about it. There are lots of GPs on Twitter for example, and they would be telling everyone about it. 

Long covid in kids was the issue a certain campaign group were going all in on, producing numbers without corroboration that 1 in 7 kids for long covid. Again, there are paediatric doctors on Twitter - they were not reporting concerning levels of it.

It's been used an emotive argument against lifting restrictions and the evidence hasn't supported its supposed prevalence. The focus on children most recently was the classic Helen Lovejoy meme - think of the children! Look at what you're doing to them! The evidence doesn't support it.

OK, let me help you out here because the silence is deafening and I can feel the cringe from here. 

Neither you or Elixir are in the slightest way professionaly or medically qualified to comment with any certainty on long covid, or covid-19, or the effects of covid, or restrictions, or actually anything that you actually do comment on.

What you are, are (probably) 20 or 30 year old office workers with absolutely no knowledge at all, in the slightest, of the medical implications of the disease. 

What you do have though, is a laptop, and plenty of gifs, images and tweets to affirm confirmation bias of something that has become a burning issue in your head. Luckily for you P&B gives you a medium for your fanaticism to spill out. 

Most of the stuff you post is laughably light.....the work of internet fantasists with too much time. 

But given that you post with aBsOLuTe CerTaINtY most of the time, I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering what your professional and medical qualifications are.

I don't think the Scottish Government could make me despise them more if they tried.

Quote

The Telegraph understands there is already a backlash emerging from the SNP-led Scottish Government, which could pick different rules, and some government scientific advisers.

The Telegraph understands that the Scottish Government could keep PCR tests for the jabbed on day two, splitting with Mr Johnson’s new rules for England.

If they genuinely do this it simply shows they will never, ever be fit to win the economic argument for independence.

Of course, their snakey Green toadies will certainly want Scottish aviation burned to the ground.

it's exactly the same with brexit or any other divisive issue

They already buckled to this simple fact before. Do they seriously think they won't just be increasing business for Newcastle, while throttling Edinburgh and Glasgow? They are so incompetent and not fit for purpose it's beyond parody.

It's really not been difficult from the outset to derive from 'the data' that those aged under 30 have never been at any actual risk from Covid. Indeed, no more so than any other respiratory infection. Even the fatties and those who survive on Greggs every day might feel a bit shite for longer, but they certainly don't burden the health system.
