Coronavirus outbreak

[kingrollo]

Bit like most on here then, that's why I plug away at you lot in the hope of getting through 🤣.

On a serious note, who wants to go out after a hard day's graft and get embroiled in some deep, thought provoking, put the World to rights debate?

The IT, Lecturer, Teacher types amongst you might do but not the type of fella's I know do.

A couple have quite stressful transport manager type jobs and all they want is a couple of pints, talk bollox about the football before they go home to the missus and kids.

Stuff Covid and Politics.

Opium of the masses as we used to say.
Or as they are increasingly known in 2021 the "it's all a load of bollox" crew....

I realise Covid exists, just bored of discussing it with people that's all.

I assume that's what you meant?

Told you, I say it as I see it, from both angles.

Wait, wasn't that in a show once "say what you see".

We've had a lovely day Jim, we're going to take the money

*Sad bull noise, theme tune goes to minor key*

In a more sane world this would beg the question why you are posting on a Coronavirus outbreak thread.

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you 'cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world

Catchphrase?

Because it's like an alternative universe sometimes I find fascinating, the extreme difference of opinion and fears compared with how I see it.

Perhaps you should get out more.

Slightly off topic, but I stumbled on an article in a US magazine which looked at infection rates in some of the solidly Republican states. A doctor in Arkansas said that of all the people in Covid hospital ICUs in her state, 97% had chosen not to be vaccinated. That says a lot about ignorance.

I can't be sure - but I thought I read a stat today that 40% of admissions are vaccinated people.???

If true the whole effectiveness of the vaccine must be in doubt.

So despite the happy go lucky ,beer drinking, football banter loving guy - there's something itching ? - is there more to understand here ? - but the conflict that you shouldn't go there ...that way lies unhappiness and discontent ...stick to the booze and footy ...it will all be alrighty !

60% of hospital admissions come from the 10% of the adult population who are unvaccinated. I’d say that shows the vaccine is working really well.

The vaccine does not make you totally immune, it just means your system hits the ground running if you get the virus.

Some of those people will be ill enough to need hospital treatment. Those with co-morbidities in particular can get pretty ill.
