Masks widely worn throughout: Yes/No 

 

Masks are worn pretty widely here, although they're not compulsory in Japan.

Can you point me to where anybody said they are? I also said "throughout"

Thanks. 

 

I'm just pointing out what Japan did differently to us.

Two worrying Tweets.

 

Haven't looked at the second tweet but the first one has various people saying the opposite and/or offering some context as to why it might be the case. Really don't see how the fella tweeting that is helping anyone. If anything he's making it more likely that a couple of borderline anti vaxxer types swerve it.

Probably didn't need to be.

Part of their culture is to wear masks out of consideration for others even before covid. Masks, decency and general level of cleanliness has helped them fight this vaccine better than the Uk.

Reading his responses, he seemed to be making the point that the government should reconsider the idea of giving the second dose of vaccine after 12 weeks instead of 21 days, especially in care homes. I didn’t read as being anti-vaccine.

The vaccine isn't supposed to be stopping the spread of it. It's supposed to prevent serious illness as a result of it.

Lockdowns: No/Yes

We had more deaths by mid-April than Japan has had since the start of the outbreak. They never needed to completely lockdown.
 

The only advantage they have had over us is that they were prepared for this due to the recent outbreaks of SARS, MERS, bird flu and swine flu. Because those outbreaks didn’t really impact us, we were complacent, as was the rest of Europe and the US.

Speak for yourself. I had swine flu. A week of diarrhoea, I lost 15lb. Never felt better.

I didn't read it as anti-vaccine either. 

 

However, people whose views are on the edge (of lunacy) might. 

 

I just find it a bit irresponsible. But I guess Twitter is just like that.

Report them. If you don’t want to do it send me the address and I’ll do it anonymously.

She told the headmistress, so she'll take it from there.

Captain Tom is dead. 

 

Sounded like it was coming. Sad. 

[Bjornebye]

Sad to hear anyone has died. 

 

Hypocrisy levels about to go through the stratosphere though. I see Piers Morgan has reverted to cunt mode by staunchly defending a 100 year old mans trip to the Bahamas without a vaccination with his family during a global pandemic thats killed over 2.2 million people. In completely un-related news Piers took his family to Antigua over Xmas.

Ha, she had to tell her. 

 

Because for some reason schools now act as social services and child protection. When I was a lad you just went to school to get taught.

 

A parent was kicking off at the school wanting to know why they weren't teaching her kid to use a knife and fork.

 

Parenting? It's for suckers.

Fed up?

 

I would have loved not having to go to school and in those days we had about 90 minutes of children’s television, no smartphones, tablets or internet.

She's 8 mate. She misses her friends and at that age they are only doing tasks which are educational and fun.

 

Im worried about my missus, her mood is changing daily and she's feeling the weight of looking after the kids whilst I work whilst doing part time. She's not sleeping and is starting to look ill. I'm gonna have to take some time out I think and try and steady the ship.

 

It also doesn't help that we lost two family members last year that wasn't due to Covid but to falls in the home - whilst they were cut off from support.

 

The whole situation seems like a never ending nightmare whichever view or angle you take.

Had he been to Barbados recently? 

 

Something I heard in a meeting today.

Just seen Stig's post below.

At Christmas. To be fair to him, I doubt he had much say in the matter.

 

In the picture his family posted, the fella looked fed up, to me. Poor cunt is 100, what's he want Barbados weather for.

Technically the kid has grassed himself and his family up.

Both me and my missus both had it at the same time. Kicked the shit out of us and kept kicking.

Whenever I catch something it usually hits me hard because of other health conditions, but she's one of those who just shrugs things off and gets on with it.

Not that time though.

Shame Tom never got promoted to Major 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

It appears that the important discussion in covidiot world regarding the passing of Captain Tom is whether he died with/from coronavirus. 

 

Not only are they stupid, but they're largely classless cunts too.

He was promoted to honorary Colonel, a chance missed there obviously. 

 

If you offered me 100 years and walking around my garden at that age, I'd take it.
