Dr Coetzee uk/ wider world overreacting to omicron

[Sheepy]

And there it is. There can be 10 or even 20 pages of debate about this fecking virus, but if those figures are correct, they tell their own story.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories and I know you aren't either. But now we are all being told scary stories about 5000 hospital cases a day and implored to hide under the bed yet again, you have to wonder what all this is really about.

I wouldn't worry they can soon make some up for the latest hysterical reaction they need.

Why can't you understand that this is not flu as most people understand it? You belittle it to the point that it is little more than a cold and in minimising it you go against all those who had to see their friends and relatives die from it. We are beginning to realise that it was likely man made rather than a naturally evolving illness and its makeup is such that is can invade people in different ways. I find you and your arguments extremely frightening.

I do understand it is not flu.  I also understand it is roughly as deadly as the flu.  And the Moronic is little more than a cold.  But yet you avoid the point, which is that you seem to think it is special.  But I notice that you avoid the comparison to the flu, apparently minimising it.  Many died of flu before 2020.  Did you wear a mask to protect them?

A complete lack of perspective and total overreaction. Absolute disgrace what we are seeing.

No Barry, he had COVID. The same COVID that killed my mate and Derek still needs 24/7 care cause he can't do anything for him self.

Whether in capitals or not, Covid-19 is definitely something.

We can argue the number and how they are calculated but dismissing the virus as nothing is disrespectful to the people who have died FROM it, and there has been thousands.

How many have died FROM it? We'll never know. Disrespectful to the dead? What sort of rubbish is that?

I've had it and it was nothing but that doesn't mean to say that is the case for everyone.

Where did I say that it is the case for everyone. We know who is at risk. The fat, the frail and the sick.

Malala Yousafzai got shot in the head and is still alive to tell the tale, are you going to say that getting shot in the head is fine?

Now you are just being silly.

Yes we know. He had a bad dose of something in April last year and almost died.
However, Desmond Swayne is full of life and telling us what we should be doing.

If  anyone is listening, it's time to scale down the testing. Test people admitted to hospital, no one else.
Stop the self isolation. 93% of people have antibodies. If we can't be free with a weak version adding to immunity, when will we be?

Take no notice Barry, you don't need to fight for respect you have earnt it. 

[Sheepy]

So have we all been disrespectful?

No, we haven't been disrespectful, it is reverse psychology, big Pharma have and governments using control of psychology and science as a cover most definitely have.

We are beginning to realise that it was likely man made

Who is we? 

[T00ts]

And yet it has been quite normal to dismiss the flu throughout most of history, and accept it as a part of life.  So have we all been disrespectful?

...and that is your problem. You are so determined in your opinion that you don't even make any effort to see the other side. I have tried to understand your point of view but admit that I find it totally lacking in any kind of understanding or care of how others have been and still are being affected.

I can't understand it, if no one explains themselves.  However, if someone is suggesting an illness (which is not necessarily worse than the flu) should be treated 10 times worse, then an explanation is required.  If I said I had the flu 3 times, and I'm much better now, would you also be complaining about that?

That's great!!

Kate Garraway's husband has been at deaths door for nearly 2 years.

What's your point?
