And apparently the big demo in Berlin  was disbanded by the old bill as people were not social distancing. Now there is a telling scenario, the Germans are normally a very law abiding, "lets's play it straight" society as we know but they all smell a rat about this whole crackpot situation and wanted to gather to have a bit of a yarn about it all. Except now of course, you can't do that. Despite the fact that infection or fatality figures are not actually rising in Europe. When you have got the likes of Robert F Kennedy Junior on the conspiracy theorist's team, you know that some high ranking people are starting to have serious doubts (and he is in Berlin)

Maybe its that socially distancing salute they used to like.... ?  K

If the likes of Starbucks and Google paid their fair share of tax, we'd be in a better position to ride out the storm.

 

Not to mention Amazon, I bet Jeff has done quite well out of it.

 

I remember reading awhile ago that the UK tax avoidance specialists stiff the UK of  around £400 billion a year in corporation tax, that would help rejuvenate the magic money tree.

Some of them get a rebate which is in the 100s of millions.

Nothing wrong with people making billions, someone has to but those £50 million squid yachts, but they don't need to have the funds to buy 10 of them because they don't pay tax.

Reading an NHS statistic earlier today and currently on a per day basis more men are dying from prostrate cancer and more women from breast cancer than Covid ?‍♂️, not combined but individually. This whole farce is like lying to the mrs about the cost of a new tool or bit of kit, even way after the moment you are so committed to the lie you can’t get out of it.

Maybe the reason is that if we just did nothing and went back to how we lived in January the outcome would be far, far worse than it is now.

 

I don't believe everything the gov tells us I just believe the majority of experts who say that this is a big issue.

But more and more experts are coming out and saying its not such a big issue. Also saying thinks like the 1-2m distance is not based on science and there is no real evidence masks work either. 

[Mesterh]

There are also other experts who dismiss those opinions. Some expert said viruses don't exist, should we believe him? 

 

I'll run with the majority for now as it doesn't negatively affect my life too much of a degree wearing a mask and social distancing. France didn't continue do it and now they are suffering. 

I don't understand how they can say social distancing doesn't help in slowing the spread of the virus? From what I've read it's passed on from respiratory droplets and it isn't properly airborne yet.

Im not talking about so called experts, the effectiveness of masks has just been raised by Deputy Chief Medical Officer.

Its all well and good running with the majority but the majority just seem to be parroting the same rehashed nonsense that seems to be a knee jerk reaction and nothing else. Is France suffering? An increase in cases is not really suffering is it? Sweden is now looking like one of the few countries in the world that now closing in on having herd immunity. Im yet to hear about many, if any horror stories over there. So 'suffering' is really quite subjective, I guess it really comes down to how much MSM you gobble down? 

 

[Mesterh]

Rehashed nonsense. ? that's only because you don't agree with it. Its science, they run with the facts they have until something differnet is proven. 

 

France will be suffering in many ways, a huge increase in cases means more restrictions, more mask wearing, less tourism etc. At least the deaths are staying low which is good news.

 

Herd immunity in Sweden? they are a long way away from the 70% they need for herd immunity, apparently they think it's at 30% which a lot of experts think is exaggerated.

 

I couldn't read the article as I don't subscribe.
