Todd_is_God Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Interesting to note that, just 7 days after the weirdos of SAGE (and iSAGE) predicted doom and gloom whilst squealing for restrictions to be reintroduced, week on week cases acrosd the UK have dropped by 15.5% by doing... absolutely nothing. Time to bundle these absolute charlatans into a cupboard and flush away the key. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 The funding the NHS discussion has a fairly obvious solution in the immediate term of having a higher tax on profit that were supercharged by the pandemic, PPE manufacturers, IT contracts, Online only retailers etc etc paying a far higher share due to either being in the right place at the right time or exploiting the pandemic to fill their boots., Not sure how much it would raise probably not an insignificant amount but of course nowhere near the levels of funding required over the medium term. Tesco, HSBC, Apple, Google, Microsoft all up between 50/75% compared to the previous year ASOS up 275% and that's before you consider PPE procurement companies some going for turnovers of a few thousand up to several million. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to bundle these absolute charlatans into a cupboard and flush away the key. It's quite incredible that amateur mathematicians and economists on Twitter had models predicting this before SAGE also fell into line. It should have been obvious when weirdos like Pagel and losers like Labour desperately started screeching for 'Plan B', which err, already makes no difference at all in Scotland and Wales. It really is soul destroying that England are already much closer to normality than we are. Scotland will be enduring theatre for at least another six months for absolutely no benefit and purely because the Scottish Government think there is political capital to be made out of doing so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This brings to mind a couple of things which have stuck in my mind: Those crazy yanks - eating like they've got free healthcare! and: Imagine a UK version of Breaking Bad: Teacher is diagnosed with cancer, immediately enters into a course of treatment and is in remission and back at work within six months, having received full pay under "gold-plated" terms and conditions of employment. One episode, and not a lot of action or violence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a crisis because of covid. We need staff back at work. All of them. Unless they are actually ill. It's the time wasters that ruin it for everyone. When my dad was ill in Jan 2020 this fcking triage system was in place and he couldnt even see a doctor face to face. My mum was pleading over the phone for a doctor to come up to see how ill he was, my dad was upset thinking his docs thought he was a time waster not worthy of seeing. Having to witness all that and the distress my dad was in in his last few weeks put me off the NHS sycopnhancy for life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 "He warned that if infections continue to rise in the next three weeks, more restrictions could return to save Christmas this year." Why do they lie [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] It was mentioned on here the other day (possibly by@Bairnardo) but its unlikely that most people will be checking and keeping an eye on case numbers. All that politicians need to do is come out and say "cases are rising" and people will take that at face value and go into panic mode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
