GMan Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Just back from getting my messages. I stood in the queue and enviously watched the checkout operators. I wish I was able to cope with a job like that - playing robots all day. My mind's far too complex to cope with boredom. You all don't know how lucky you are that you're not cursed with a vast intellect like mine. Edited March 27, 2020 by GMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted March 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 1 hour ago, Hiram Abiff said: Dr Peter Goetzsche is Professor of Clinical Research Design and Analysis at the University of Copenhagen and founder of the Cochrane Medical Collaboration. He has written several books on corruption in the field of medicine and the power of big pharmaceutical companies. What he says: Our main problem is that no one will ever get in trouble for measures that are too draconian. They will only get in trouble if they do too little. So, our politicians and those working with public health do much more than they should do. No such draconian measures were applied during the 2009 influenza pandemic, and they obviously cannot be applied every winter, which is all year round, as it is always winter somewhere. We cannot close down the whole world permanently. Should it turn out that the epidemic wanes before long, there will be a queue of people wanting to take credit for this. And we can be damned sure draconian measures will be applied again next time. But remember the joke about tigers. “Why do you blow the horn?” “To keep the tigers away.” “But there are no tigers here.” “There you see!” I've been indicating similar for a while. I didn't Google it, I came to that conclusion all by myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TPAFKATS Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Taking the view that more people die of other stuff than have, so far, dies from covid 19 was the line that Trump was taking earlier this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TPAFKATS Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 So the consensus seems to be that governments have massively overreacted!

Hiram Abiff Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Heard from a reliable source that the police were on Paisley high street today shouting at folk to hurry up and get their shopping done and go home. Ironically, many of these people were in their 70s. As the fascist police state tightens its grip, the Bank of England begins printing money that will inevitably end up in the pockets of the rich. And Israel uses the pandemic as cover to attack Palestinians (Luckily I’m not in the SNP otherwise I’d get expelled for saying this) Operations getting cancelled, people losing their jobs, a global depression awaits Welcome to the far right dystopian nightmare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
