Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
how can i get my facts right when everywhere you look there are more contradictions than the bible.
that was my whole point of the rant. where are the flu statistics as they seem to be getting kept quiet. we can only go by the data we are given. how many people are dying that are being put down to covid that would have normally died anyway. can someone please find data that is older then 3 years of the UK national death rate and then compare it with this pandemic to see what the figures are over and above. there is a difference between confirmed cases and actual, most people who are getting covid dont seem to me that bothered so dont report it or go for a test so dont get included in the figures. which would put the cases/deaths statistics looking much better. @ messie, no offence and you can delete my post if you like but you have had no contribution to this forum for a very long time so what gives you the right to be a moderator...... why has £35mil been spent on a test and trace app that does not even work. if it dont work then it should not be paid for its that simple..... or is it that the MD is and elite. jezuz a script kiddie could have done a better job for a bottle of pop and some crisps. £35mil is a new hospital or two or 20 schools or 100 drop in centres, you get the drift. why is the public not up in arms about this.. how much do you think it cost to develop something like ermm tinder or a dating app that could have been repurposed and done a better job. am i going to be branded as a social outcast if i dont take the covid jabs.......... |

T&T was managed originally by Public Health England. John Penrose who is (don't laugh) in charge of anti corruption and NHS improvement, he wanted T&T pulled away from PHE and got his way. He wanted someone independent running it, so he proposed Baroness Dido Harding, who happens to be his wife. She was in charge of TalkTalk when they had the massive data breach and has proved her incompetence a few times since. The price tag on test and trace is now £22 billion https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-h...-idUKKBN2832FL

@ messie, no offence and you can delete my post if you like but you have had no contribution to this forum for a very long time so what gives you the right to be a moderator...... None taken! That's another reason why I didn't delete your post. I just contributed my opinion as anyone who reads this forum and is a member can. All the best x

I'm waiting until after Winter/Flu season has passed and then will review the statistics for Flu cases & deaths for 2020/2021 vs the prev 5 years. It will give a good indication of what has been potentially mis-represented. Currently deaths of Covid are not clearly being distinguished where it is; Due to Covid Or simply they tested positive for it within X days of passing |

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
I've heard similar said about norovirus too. I think we had all forgotten about how effective being clean is at keeping diseases at bay.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
We get to meet up with friends today as the local lockdown is lifted. Bars, restaurants and sports facilities open - max 4 people together. Municipal boundaries still closed for travelling but that will be reviewed on Thursday after yesterday's figures dropped to the required number to open up the towns within the region for travel. Still no travel beyond that to other regions.
With 30 years experience of working with and for the NHS, before retiring, I could give some harrowing facts about Covid and its impact but this is the happy, smiley thread. To conclude, today we get to meet up with friends.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
The vaccine takes about 2 weeks to take effect (that is what they told me when I had my jab) so some people might catch Covid after they have been vaccinated.
What do some people need to be convinced of the seriousness of this virus ?! Everybody should have the vaccine (unless there is some medical reason for not having it ) as well as observing the hands, space, face precautions. How else is this bloody thing going to be brought under some control and save us from going in and out of lockdowns. (as well as saving lives of course ) ps All in my opinion of course. |
