Every time there is an attempt to sensationalize the whole thing again. The restrictions are ending .. end of! Same with the covid figures they still publish to feed the obsessives. And the same with the BBC last night “commemorating” two years since lockdown came in on the One Show. These crackpots need to give themselves a good shake down. Let's not forget that eejit Witty harping on about the next variant when it comes along will be worse than Omicron. It's almost as if they are manufacturing these strains...

If you want eejits harping on on read John Wardle & Iain kewley on Twitter who are constantly posting scare stories & demanding more restrictions!! The latter has just posted that he had heard £2 charges for LFTS In Iom so not happy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditch LFT's, PCR's and all relics of that lost 2 years. What will be will be. Think of the savings. We could ban pregnancy tests and close the Jane! Cure cancer by not looking for it! It's the future of medicine. There are currently ten people ill with Covid in Nobles, most of whom have been vaccinated and boosted, so heaven's know how bad it would have been without our good vaccination coverage. There are nearly 2000 with the disease, about half of whom will have symptoms. No amount of shutting your eyes and wishing naughty Mr Covid will go away is going to change the situation, nor that it will almost certainly happen again with new variants as it has happened in the past. We can only tell that situations change if we monitor them, stopping testing will prevent that. Commenters and politicians spout rhetoric about 'living with the virus' and then seem to think that it means ignoring it. That's not how you deal with an endemic disease. People don't throw away their anti-malarials and mosquito netting because they've got bored with them.

We are only jurisdiction in CTA with them! They're not keeping the landing forms, everything is going. And EasyJet are removing the face mask requirement from Saturday too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a wonder they manage to dress themselves or wipe their own arse independently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momo65 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Just now, offshoremanxman said: You see this is the real problem I’ve had from the start with COVID-19. People like you believing that everyone else is so stupid that they’re a danger to society. There are places you can go in the world if you genuinely think like that. Russia, China, or maybe North Korea? They’re all great at beating down individuality and stealing peoples human rights on the grounds that they are a threat to the system. That sort of mindset is largely incompatible with living in a Western free market democracy. If you can’t live without your comfort blanket it’s time for you to go back indoors. Funny I assume you must drink drive, speed continually and do anything you want then as those are controlled in a free market democracy. Your repeated attempts to belittle by use of terms such as comfort blanket and nappy wearers are a waste of time. Although given the preponderance of disabled people in the vulnerable group the latter sounds very much like targeted harassment. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
