Because the reaction that I mentioned happened in the past - dumbass.

You said "they've already occured". That implies closure. They are continuing. That's my point. Whatever, if you want to win on semantics, here's your medal.

Re read it pal - 

 

the gubmints handling of the effects on the economy and the disinformation campaign about public health safety

 

Those have occurred. And they cannot be changed at this point. Humans are not good with uncertainty. The combination of Brexit/Trump (populism)/Corona is a haymaker. The effects will be felt for years, but the deed is done.

So it's okay for me to be called all the cunts under the sun, and for people to be snarky and dismissive, but if I dare to reflect that one tiny bit, I am out of line?

 

Okay, sound.

You know what, you quite often cast the first stone in name calling. Loads of us are guilty of the same but you act like people just go out to call you a cunt all the time and thats not the case at all despite you coming across like a complete one on this thread. 

 

You've admitted you made that remark about Ricos family in reaction to him 'sniping' at you. Thats pretty shitty. 

 

You still haven't responded to my link yesterday supplying the evidence you asked for about lockdowns working. Actual facts. You're all over the place on this thread. No wonder you get called a cunt.

Reign it in you drama queen. 

 

I was talking about the mental health problems this was causing. Tory Boy decided to dismiss my comment completely because he knows some people who have got ill. You've lost all sense of perspective in this thread.

I haven't lost anything. I post in this thread a couple times weekly. You on the other hand, are obsessed and need to take a break. Call people that make fun of you cunts back and then leave it, for fuck sake. You have been absolutely unbearable.

You posted one link, to one study. What do you want me to say, that I hereby dismiss the other scientific studies woth findings which oppose the ones in yours?

The "you've" was aimed at the collective gand that exists in here. You may find blocking me helpful if you cannot bear me.

I posted a scientific study full of evidence that lockdown works. Thats what you asked for. 

 

You haven't posted a single scientific study that shows evidence that it doesn't work. Not one.

So you asked for evidence that lockdown works. I provide it and you are still saying lockdown doesn't work? Am I right here?

Mate's sister and her husband and kid had it. Kid had mild symptoms and they were asymptomatic despite both being in their early 50s. Vaccine or no, if and when they discover why this kills some people and doesn't give others even a sniffle, whenever they find out what that commonality is, they'll be able to put this back in its box. It goes far behind commorbidities, it's like some people, a lot of people, have got an inbuilt immunity. Just a throughly bizarre disease.

It's a coronavirus and they've been with us since before recorded history. A quarter of all common colds are caused by four coronaviruses and when each first appeared they probably initiated pandemics too. It would be entirely in keeping with precedent if this one went the same way.

Yeah over time it probably will as it mutates, but in the shorter term this one does unreal damage to some people while others don't even know they have it, there must be some commonality in those people that can be studied, with that common trait turned into some sort of defence.

Chances are a lot of people have cross immunity from other coronaviruses, that's what my money would be on. Genetics could play a part too.
