    Think the only reason for them is trying to stem the flow into the healthcare service. They know full well the only way out is vaccinations

    Agree. It will be a full lockdown until the vaccination program is complete.

    But hospitalizations and ICU capacity are normal for this time of year and are actually lower then they were this time last year. That isn't some crackpot conspiracy theory, it's a fact from the NHS own figures. The NHS is always busy during winter months and flu season, nothing out of the ordinary is currently happening.

    Would they be the ones knocking out the tik Tom's by any chance?

    My sisters a pharmacist and my Mrs cousin works in a hospital (starred in a tik tok video she did). I've been to two different hospitals for appointments for my daughter, my nans been in a hospital for weeks during this 'pandemic' and my grandads had to go to appointments as well. That's 4 different hospitals in tier 3/4 areas and they're all dead as ****.

    The way they're going on with this you'd expect dead bodies to be piling up in the street. At the very least, some footage of hospitals actually overwhelmed and rushed off their feet at max capacity. Obviously not expecting to see covid patients wandering about but you would expect during an actual pandemic to see a hospital actually struggling. But not one single piece of footage of that anywhere. Plenty of footage of doctors and nurses stood in car parks on a Thursday night clapping each other though. Plenty of tik tok choreography to view if you wish.

    The only thing that actually backs any of this nonsense up is the scaremongering numbers and the way they spin them on the 6 o'clock bad news.

    I actually feel bad for people that look no further than the main stream narrative, yet have the audacity to come on questioning someone's intelligence talking about what their exam results and annual earnings might be.

    Anyone can feel free to pm me if they want to fact check my annual earnings. More than happy to share. Let's put it this way, I've been sat in my home office since March completely unaffected financially and I'm still calling bull**** on the whole thing.

    It's because hospitals restrict the amount of people allowed in. Fathers can only be there for a limited time for their children's births, people not allowed to see dying patients etc. That would give the impression that they are quiet. All I can go on his that at my Mrs hospital there have been lomg waits to get ambulances in as they have no room. They have closed down all non essential practices and it's at breaking point.

    Of course not all hospitals are like that.

    People who call it bull ****, please tell me why they would do this to the economy? People are mistaking incompetence for malice. Same all over Europe and America, it's a **** show.

    Don't want to get too deeply into this debate but this has been my experience of it as well - Last 9 months anytime I've gone into a hospital it's been very quiet. There was one of those nightingale wards opened in said hospital but was closed down shortly after because there was barely anyone in it.
    And I've heard of a few people who have tested positive and when I asked how they were doing was told they had no symptoms, had isolated for a week or so and then went back to normal.
    All of the above doesn't quite tally in with the mainstream media's narrative that people left right and centre are being taken down by a lethal virus and that hospitals are being overwhelmed.​

    I appreciate that. And that's another travesty by the way, appointments cancelled over this. Senseless.

    Even so, we're in a so called pandemic. Hospitals apparently cannot cope. You would expect to see hospitals absolutely maxed out with people suffering from the so called deadly disease, but not one shred of evidence that this is the case. Plenty of evidence however to suggest otherwise.

    What happened to the nightingale hospitals eh? No doubt someone will come on with good reason as to why they're empty too.

    Its an utter nonsense.

    What's happened to all the terrorists by the way? Amazing they've all packed in since covid began. Must be adhering to the social distancing measures eh.

    The nightingale hospitals never took off because they just don't have the staff to cover it. Nurse and doctors are made to take 2 weeks off if they cough these days. They were trying to get people out of retirement to help out but that didn't work.

    People views of what is happening is far too influenced by film and tv where they expect to walk into a hospital and seen bodies all over the place. That's not how it works.

    Current projections on vaccinating 70% of the population for Covid-19 is 2.1 years. And by then there will be mutations and Covid-21 or Covid-22 out there.

    So this is never ending.

    Vaccine for Covid-19 comes out, we have Covid-21 now, so we need a vaccine for that. Covid-21 vaccine comes out, now we have Covid-22 and we need a vaccine for that. It is pure cluster****.

    Professional sport is essentially going to be cancelled on and off in Europe and the USA for another 2-3 years with the current strategy.

    As I say waiting for a vaccine doesnt fix this, because there will be variants and strains that the vaccines dont protect us against. According to them.

    Lockdowns didnt make any difference to the case growth and mortality rates in NZ or China or any other country. In those countries, the virus ran its course in the population.

    Asia is largely back to normal now because they didnt start a mass testing programme like Europe did in September, using the PCR test.
