My wife finishes for the summer hols tomorrow. I have told her that shops seem to be the most dangerous places and it has been scientifically proven that more cases of covid are caught in shops  (esp clothes shops) than anywhere else.
Think it will work? 

Its worked here for the past 15 months. 
Although Ive just been informed that she had an online spree last night !

My daughter and son in law went to the Euro final. They are both double jabbed. They belong to an England supporters club and have been informed that a number of the club members have contacted the virus. At least ten who tested positive  were double jabbed with the AZ vaccine. Also they have just got back from Mallorca, today, and are off to Spain tomorrow week.    Needless to say, they ain't coming round here any time soon.

Are they stupid, Ronny? 

The situation is an odd one Steve. They are both covid aware, SIL is Type 2  Diabetic. They obey the mask rules etc. but, they live for holibobs and travel. As long as they don't bring it here IDGAF.

You overlook the point that testing people exponentially will obviously produce an exponential increase in positive tests.

Other countries that aren't testing to the extent we are don't appear to have the cases we do. Doesn't mean that they or we actually have less or more cases.

As for the cost of so called long covid, we were forever being told about the long term costs of lung disease and cholesterol and obesity and diabetes... ie there is always something. It's just that TCV is the current 'thing'...

Along with global warming and everything else, that is.

And the whole point of being vaccinated is to reduce the likelihood of being hospitalised, so it is of no surprise that the majority of people in hospital with it aren't vaccinated. Highlighting that single point might get through to those who get their medical advice from Faceachebook. The other third would probably be in hospital for one reason or another.

I think you are taking your mate Trump's approach there "we are testing too much and i don't like the high numbers the tests prove " 


you've always had a blase attitude about the risks of the virus 

like I said "think about how things have changed in 18 months"

perhaps re read this thread from last year  

though your views haven't changed much despite everything that has happened

Trump could have been right. We never did try injecting disinfectant or microwaving people.

96 deaths today, btw. 
But that's probably just catching up with the folk who were inconsiderate enough to die over the weekend.

Alcohol works definitely, no need to inject orally is fine & can be bought virtually anywhere .

The statistics haven't changed respective to global population.

And I am still not going to suddenly start running around in a media induced panic just because some who is thinks I should.

Besides, washing in Dettol and hiding under the bed won't change anything except push up the price of Dettol...

If it's going to spread to everyone, we may as well accept that and get on with it.

Jewellers. You didn't forget those, did you?

The virus likes shiny things.
