faraway saint Posted May 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Just heard the WHO have declared that covid is no longer a public health emergency of international concern. That is except in East Kilbride. Even hospitals and doctors surgeries are abandoning the use of masks, LONG overdue. Poor @BuddieinEK, his period of mourning could be at an end, or maybe not.

beyond our ken Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 Depending on where you live, you can still walk in to a vaccination centre and if you are overdue either COVID, pneumococal or flu boosters then they will most likely admininster them. My wife is co-ordinating clinics in the Forth Valley and has walk-in patients every day, mosty advised by their GP practice to get along.

During (or just after) lockdown someone on here stated it was a FACT that lockdown had saved lives. It's hard to know who to believe.

The report concluded this on the physical measures (which included lockdown, in all it's forms) "3.1.2 Physical measures advised or mandated in August to December 2020 In the summer of 2020 the number of new COVID-19 cases across the UK declined. This was attributed, in part, to the effectiveness of the physical measures that had been mandated earlier that year." So, it was undeniably true that there was no evidence at the time decisions were taken to suggest that they WOULD be effective. That is because there were no studies done in respect of COVID or these forms of lockdown in our society and noone has undertaken any studies into that scenario since then, not because there was ANY evidence to the contrary. To suggest on the basis of this report, that the physical measures were not effective or needed is just daft-the report states that they were an undoubted part of limiting the spread.

In my opinion? i quoted directly from the report and not from an Express report which was obviously pursuing a particular angle. I also never took any sides of the argument and only showed how the express twisted a tiny bit of the report to suit it's own agenda. If you are happier with the opinion of a newspaper that took a wee slice out of a report dozens of pages long then that's fine. Regarding the UK's current position, our problems are down to a lot more than just coronavirus Edited August 14, 2023 by beyond our ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweden didn’t lockdown and have had the least number of excess deaths in Europe Lockdowns have killed thousands in the U.K and millions worldwide, caused the cost of living crisis, destroyed the education of children, destroyed business, ruined lives, crippled the NHS, plunged millions into poverty worldwide, the rich have got richer and poor have got poorer. And all of this was for seen, I stated it would happen from the very beginning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
