I am the ice man
And I take a chance, huh
Do you take a chance, huh?
Where you two going?
Where you two going?
Is this a branch on the tree of showbusiness?
Do all these musicians
Have a social conscience?
Well, only in their front rooms
But I am the ice man
And I take a chance man
Do you take a chance, huh?
They stay with the masses
Don't take any chances
End up emptying ashtrays
But I push, push, push, push
Throw the bones and the poison dice
No time for small moralists
Cos I am the ice man
And I take a chance, huh
Do you take a chance, fan?
They say music should be fun
Like reading a story of love
But I wanna read a horror story
Where are you people going?
Where are you people going?
Is this a branch on the tree of showbusiness?
But I am the ice man
A balls-on-the-line man
Do you take a chance, baby?

There's a Fall song for most occasions and I often can't resist. 

It's just 2 weeks to slow the spread.

It's just to flatten the curve.

It's just a mask.

It's just until a vaccine is available.

It's just until the elderly are vaccinated.

It's just until everybody is.

It's just one shot.

It's just 2 shots.

It's just a booster.

It's just another booster.

It's just a few restrictions on your ability to buy food, travel, exercise etc

It's just an app for your safety.

It's just a social credit score.

 

What Fall song would go best with these lyrics?

High COVID-19 vaccination rates were expected to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in populations by reducing the number of possible sources for transmission and thereby to reduce the burden of COVID-19 disease. Recent data, however, indicate that the epidemiological relevance of COVID-19 vaccinated individuals is increasing.


In the UK it was described that secondary attack rates among household contacts exposed to fully vaccinated index cases was similar to household contacts exposed to unvaccinated index cases (25% for vaccinated vs 23% for unvaccinated). 12 of 31 infections in fully vaccinated household contacts (39%) arose from fully vaccinated epidemiologically linked index cases. Peak viral load did not differ by vaccination status or variant type [].

In Germany, the rate of symptomatic COVID-19 cases among the fully vaccinated (“breakthrough infections”) is reported weekly since 21 July 2021 and was 16.9% at that time among patients of 60 years and older []. This proportion is increasing week by week and was 58.9% on 27 October 2021 (Figure 1) providing clear evidence of the increasing relevance of the fully vaccinated as a possible source of transmission.

A similar situation was described for the UK. Between week 39 and 42, a total of 100.160 COVID-19 cases were reported among citizens of 60 years or older. 89.821 occurred among the fully vaccinated (89.7%), 3.395 among the unvaccinated (3.4%) []. One week before, the COVID-19 case rate per 100.000 was higher among the subgroup of the vaccinated compared to the subgroup of the unvaccinated in all age groups of 30 years or more.

In Israel a nosocomial outbreak was reported involving 16 healthcare workers, 23 exposed patients and two family members. The source was a fully vaccinated COVID-19 patient. The vaccination rate was 96.2% among all exposed individuals (151 healthcare workers and 97 patients). Fourteen fully vaccinated patients became severely ill or died, the two unvaccinated patients developed mild disease [].

The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identifies four of the top five counties with the highest percentage of fully vaccinated population (99.9–84.3%) as “high” transmission counties [].

Many decisionmakers assume that the vaccinated can be excluded as a source of transmission. It appears to be grossly negligent to ignore the vaccinated population as a possible and relevant source of transmission when deciding about public health control measures.

Imagine thinking that scapegoating unvaccinated or using covid passes will sort that mess out.

When is this thread going to be deleted now that it has been confirmed pureblood is a trouble making arse wipe? 

 

Pureblood has caused trouble so this thread should be deleted? What type of logic is that if there's others using it and it's nothing to do with any trouble he's caused?

 

I guess you'd prefer the stuff we're posting about in here to be back in the original thread again? Because it was sure working out well when that was happening.

It's time to punish Britain's five million vaccine refuseniks: They put us all at risk of more restrictions, says ANDREW NEIL. So why shouldn't we curb some of their freedoms?

 

 

 

Despite the fact that all of the Covid restrictions we've faced in England have been implemented by, in some respects at least, the most hard-right government of at least the last 100 years, and supported by figures like Andrew Neil and Jon Gaunt, I still see clowns in this country, including on this thread, who call these 'socialist measures, backed by socialists'.

 

What to make of that?
