Slarti Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Don't get too excited, quite often the reporting mechanisms are delayed at the weekend. Was there not someone on here recently that was gloating about 2 consecutive days of rises? I wonder where he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be hard for you sleeping at night, having to get up and checking under the bed every half hour. You must have missed the posts where I specify that I make my own mind up, despite government advice. As for being aboard the "health fascism express", better that than the "six feet under" choo choo train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at faraway as an example of the simple, easily swayed voter, he's all aboard the health fascism express. Oh, I'm 100% sure it won't happen. They might try a threat of a sort of "back of the queue" type scenario but not a withdrawal of "free" NHS treatment. Successive governments have said that taxes pay for the NHS, it would open the floodgates for legal challenges about paying taxes - and that's just for starters. The "back of the queue" thing would be more "palatable" to more people. I think that I, as a smoker, should be behind non-smokers for treatment for diseases/conditions that can be caused by smoking, and I think a lot of people would agree with that and think similarly for those choosing to be non-vaccinated. I don't smoke around non-smokers because of the potential harm it could cause them, so maybe non-vaxers should choose not to be around other people due to the same. That's a bit of a tangent, but still ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markgilson80 Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Yes, it is not at all clear when this epidemic will end, or at least people will start to come to their senses. I can't even believe that it was different before. This is why it is especially important now to get good medical care, which is why I advise you to check out Sono Bello reviews and look at their clinics. I think it can be useful in such a difficult time. Health to all of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the definition of unvaccinated doesn't always indicate a lack of immunity, either through previous infection (which has now been removed from England's pass), or having previous jabs without appetite for the latest booster. Think a lot of Tory voters would quietly support that policy at first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted December 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) South Africa cases continue to slowly decline, as was suggested last week when they were leveling off. Todays death count is THREE, (probably down to the delay in reporting over the weekend) only baz the fool uses a single day as some sort of proof but importantly the average has slightly dropped, still too early to see a consistent trend. More importantly Scotland cases continue to climb and, slightly worryingly, both hospital cases & ICU show a slight rise. Unfortunately all media outlets are still creaming themselves over the rise in cases. Jason Leitch actually said this latest variant is only 3 weeks old worldwide, a blatant, and gigantic, fib.

faraway saint Posted December 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) The vaccinations are reaching incredible numbers, and the number of the boosters, seemingly giving serious protection against the latest variant, is really taking off. The numbers below are for Scotland, for clarity. Edited December 20, 2021 by faraway saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
