Face coverings

So all four of the paramedics were assholes then? Paramedics who's vocation is to save people's lives. And the staff in the chipper were assholes as well? And the three tourists who were also chatting with the paramedics, within a meter distance? Assholes too?

Yes. Surely its not hard to believe that there are a lot of arseholes out there. We have seen plenty in our industry, in real life and social media. Monkey see monkey do.

 

Idiots attract idiots. No doubt the chippy owners and the tourists thought it was OK as Mr in charge didnt give a fook.

 

A member of my family works on a covid ward, she has came down with a lot of nasty diseases over the years due to poor hygiene in the workplace. She was saying the way people die of covid is horrible to say the least, but yet staff who treat these patients still disregard simple rules, used clothing just thrown about the place instead of placed in specialist bins, lack of cleanliness and a simple disregards for others. 

 

Just because some people act like they dont care doesnt mean its the right thing to do. How many bent coppers are there out there, how many corrupt judges take a back hander, how many site managers take a brown envelope and cut a few corners to keep their boys in a job?

Paramedics will be, you'd imagine, geting tested for covid pretty regularly.  The turn around on tests in hospital for patients is less than 12hrs, it'll be quicker for staff.
Indoors in places with little airflow appears to be the main vector for transmission.
I can't see paramedics being intentionally reckless. It's not what they do.

I know a fellow who contracted Covid. Early 50's, lifelong smoker. Didn't know he had it. Didn't feel at all sick, just a slight temperature. Only reason he found out was because he was tested at his job.

Hence the problem with this novel virus. 

Its an unknown. Why are children not super spreaders when they usually are? Why is your mate still alive when other healthy people of his age are on incubators? 

 

I guess in few years time we may know the answer. In the meanwhile wear a face covering, social distance and not get hell bent on thinking its a conspiracy to do what.........?

Why is a different point of view or take on a situation always classed as a conspiracy? It seems to be a word that gets banded about as a way to quickly dismiss different opinions.

This is why this is being classed as a conspiracy theory:

It does seem like the Government is using this as a way to push through a cashless society and now have people so scared that they are welcoming in draconian measures that once implemented will become the new norm and almost impossible to back track on. All to just feel safe from the bogieman that is C-19 and is supposedly hiding behind every bush and shadow. Problem, Reaction, Solution springs to mind. Create a problem, wait for the public's reaction and demand for 'protection' and offer up a solution that erodes their liberties severely. You cant even discuss this in public as you're seen as not thinking of others. Or not taking this pandemic seriously. 

And there seem to be plenty of people out there who think it is a cunning ploy to make us submissive to the government so that we will all accept mandatory vaccines for this and other diseases. Then you add on all of the additional theories about Soros, Bill Gates, Amazon, Big Pharma etc and there are multiple conspiracy theories all rolled into one. All because we are being advised to wear some kind of face covering because there is a chance that it might help (even a little bit!) reduce the transmission of a virus that's caused 45000+ deaths in this country so far.

Its always been like this. Far to many people are complacent in their ignorance and belief that those in positions of power are looking out for their best interests. I am far from a conspirasist but when you read what was once scoffed at, and the whistle blowers and those who exposed what was going on where deems crazy tin foil hat wears only for the likes of Wikileaks to confirm a lot of what was thought to be going on was true. But the same old people will continue to mock those who think outside the box and see the bigger picture. 

 

Now I dont know if there is a bigger play here or not, Im certainly not saying there is. But only a fool would categorically claim there is not. You only have to look at history, recent history, to see how asinine that line of reasoning is. People that blinkered are simply not worth engaging with.
