    I think the whole Corona lockdown situation is part of a bigger plan by the elite but you have a point.

    Our government negotiated for the track and trace app with Sirco in January I believe it was. Why didn't they shut the borders then if they thought it was such a threat. Let me guess because they feel immigration supersedes everything else and is essential but people who live here shouldn't be allowed out the house without a good reason.

    I don't touch that stuff, it does send me paranoid mind. Use your head mate. The harm of these lockdowns is far greater than any damage it prevents.

    Over 20,000 recorded deaths for flu each year, imagine if way they counted it was by setting testing stations up everywhere and adding anyone who died with 28 days of a test regardless of cause.

    Always gonna happen, football will be next, I'm actually surprised it wasn't with cases rising and games being postponed.

    The Government can't really justify tougher measures while sport is still continuing, another couple of weeks and there will be zero Sports and a real complete lockdown.

    Secondary Schools will also shut, all lessons online and you either work from home or go on furlough.

    It's going to get really rough over the next couple of months, "circuit breakers" all over the place.

    1 hour a day exercise, no non essential travel, only allowed out your home for food or an emergency, this is going to be when the Police in the U.K. will go completely rogue.

    The Police crossed lines in the middle of last year and had to be reigned back in, this time they will get a pass, so be careful, they'll be coming for everybody for the slightest reasons.

    When Boris Johnson said back in April/May that this is "the new normal" we all assumed he meant that the lockdowns, face masks and social distancing was temporary until the deadly, lethal virus was sorted but now I'm not so sure, maybe this is all meant to permanent. Not just in the UK but everywhere on the planet.

    The Japanese have been wearing masks and practicing pandemic negating policies for a lot longer than we have. They are in the world's hot spot for such diseases and they have a far healthier and far more disciplined society than ours.

    They don't risk a 10k fine by throwing Raves all over the place

    Aye, my wife who is a nurse has spent the last 6 months with her feet up............

    *she spent last night tranforming clean wards into covid wards, because our area is running out of beds, and have already used up the ICU beds, and the newly created ICU beds.

    But yes, it is all a hoax.

    Gutted but it makes sense I guess. Just arrange fights in the US or somewhere else then, right?

    Boris ****ed it at the begining by not taking it serious.

    Then ****ed it by getting track trace done by morons

    In betting terms, we had the reddest book ever on the machine, and once its that red you can never get it blue again.

    Track and trace now is irrelevant because it is so wide spread, had we got a decent system in place during lockdown 1 we would be in a much different position.

    I hear ya. My wife works in Pharmacy, has worked the whole time in a relatively high risk retail environment, gets spoken to on a regular basis like a piece of crap by impatient customers and hasn't benefited any extra from all the Covid handouts unlike many that I see out riding bikes or with their kids over the park while they're 'working from home'.

    There really are an awful lot of ungrateful fukks out their who might just need care from your wife while they're hooked up to an Oxygen respirator cuz their lungs have packed up.

    Thank god I came across a post of reason. It took long enough.

    I can't actually believe people readily lap up the main stream narrative.

    Theres a Covid test centre round the corner from me, everytime I go past its bloody dead with a fella in high viz sat on his arse on a chair at the front. Never seen a single person go in or out.

    My daughters had hospital appointments a few times throughout this 'pamdemic'.... Hospital dead as fook every single time.

    Dont know one single person who's had Covid...... Ive heard of people, from other family who tell me 'so and so have had it'.... To which I ask how they are doing.... Absolutely fine every single time. So yeah.... So and so had a cold didn't they.

    You all need to give your bloody heads a wobble and turn off the bloody news for a few days. The countries being run into the ground here because of this nonsense, small businesses going bust over a cold virus and people losing jobs and livelihoods. Mental health going down the pan. It's disgusting. ​

    The UK is going to be in a hard lockdown with all professional sport stopped for at least 2 months. This is inevitable given the rhetoric coming out at the moment. I expect it to be announced in the next 5-7 days. Many other sports at pro youth level have already called things off in expectation.

    I really do wonder how long this **** is going to go on for. As we could still be here in 2025 with lockdowns on/off, shutting down of professional sports and schools being opened/closed.

    It is never ending. Lockdowns dont work, they have not worked in any of the 70 countries they have been implemented in.
    So following the current strategy simply means this pandemic will never ****ing end.

    This is spot on what is happening and I have heard first hand also. People do not realise if they (or loved ones) have an accident or become ill from other means they wont get an ICU or some other poor bugger will get there's switched of to accommodate. Yes people die from flu and pneumonia all the time but the hospital now have an extra few hundred people to care for weekly and to do that you need an extra few hundred nurses who cannot simply be plucked out of thin air, it takes years of training to qualify to become a nurse.
