China Coronavirus

[Angelo]

Angelo you're relentless on the the flu of 17/18 and now depression. Two subjects on this board board that you have zero, that's zero posts about, so again, forgive me for thinking you give a flying fcuk about these people.

You got it. I'm not a hypocrite here.

But you are. You somehow think its ok from people to die from flu, for mental health problems to see sharp rise.

But you don't think Covid is ok.

That's the type of hypocrisy I'm showing up from you here.

You don't care about the rise in mental health issues nor mass deaths from flu but you do care about Covid? Double standards.

Again have you thought about the mental health impact of letting Covid go unchecked by lockdowns. Do you not care about those? Is that not hypocrisy?

I look at things in a panoramic mode. I see the bigger picture.

Lockdowns seem to have a greater impact on mental health than Covid.

There has been a thread on here about depression for years, you've had zero interest in it, not one post from you on it, now you're concerned?

Forgive me for thinking you're full of shit and this is just an excuse for you to peddle crap that suits your narrative.

It's a bit like the gym owners and PT's on social media saying they are worried about people's mental health. I don't buy it

Like the Tories sudden concern for schools being shut and the harm it's doing to the children when less than a month earlier they couldn't vote through a Labour bill to feed the kids when they are at home.
They were embarrassed into it by Marcus Rashford FFS.

Faux outrage and concern.

A pity none of ye cared about lockdowns when in the flu season of 17/18, think of all the lives that have been saved then if ye gave up your liberties and freedoms. Do you regret that?

That's a false comparison. Flu lethality is far lower.

Explain the winter flu season of 17/18.

Explain the previous year and the  following year
Covid is continuously lethal
UK mortality last year increased by 13%. First time in 30 years that it increased.
Any data for flu doing that ?

So was the flu season in 17/18.

50k excess deaths in that Dec 17 - Mar 18 in the UK.

Covid has yet to hit the peak of the winter flu in 17/18 where there were over 2k deaths in January 18 and nobody even batted an eyelid about it.

What will happen if the United Ireland turns out not to be socialist?

Covid will take over the world.

That's not what I asked.

So you only want an answer to a narrow focused, loaded question?

I look at the bigger picture. I don't put a narrow focus on things, I look at the overall impact it will have on society and the long terms effects. I strongly feel lockdowns are doing more damage than good and they are a mechanism for governments with absolutely no strategy, no forward thinking and no accountability.

What are they doing about the hospitals and the transmission rates there? Why have they not protected care facilities?

So your not actually considering a balanced open view at all. You just want to focus on the aspects you want to use. You're done Angelo, check out.

I am.

I look at the broad picture.

Sister of mine was getting the swab in Dungannon today..their systems were down. They told her to "go get a coffee and come back".

We're done for.

[Rossfan]

Alternative was "let it rip" or "take it on the chin".

[Angelo]

Alternative was "let it rip" or "take it on the chin".

Once again.

Rossfan is the only poster here using the term let it rip.

It's a sensationalist term that I have not heard anyone on here suggest ever, other than him, it's the type of dumbed down commentary that is the level of his offerings on this forum as a whole.

Totally agree on lockdowns, the long term effects of them are going to be frightening.

What would you have done instead?

If there was another easier option available the government would have taken it. The government tried to ease restrictions in the south but people took the piss, cases exploded and they had to act. Without lockdown the health service would have collapsed, cases and deaths would increase even quicker than they did.

Sweden took the relaxed approach and their prime minister has admitted they failed. They have more deaths from covid than the rest of their scandanavian neighbours combined.
