Im sorry that you consider i " lap" up every thing Jonesy or Enzo say. I would say I agree with them. You in turn " lap up" what a number of posters say on this. Its natural to appreciate and agree with people who are on the same wavelength as oneself. Its hardly brought the worse in me . Its completely invigorated me and opened my eyes to the negligence of this current Govt. And there's a good hint as to why it is that you have started believing what you do. You've found a way to combat your fear of Covid by finding folk to agree with who not only have a good old enemy, the government and the scientists, but their main tenet is that the thing you fear, Covid, is not to be feared after all! It, and everything that is being done to combat it, is in effect fake news or at the least very exaggerated news. What could be handier? Nothing to be afraid of any more. QAnon, MAGA, anti-vaxxing, Covid denial, and so on. All built on mobilising fear and uncertainty into a form of almost religious certainty and anger that invigorates folk who need invigorating. In saying that, it's not healthy to have long-running disputes, so I'll let you have a final pop or pops at me, and then I'll just keep you on ignore and let others rightly take you up on the stuff that you come out with.

Cod psychology . You know zero about me to make any assessment of me and vice versa. It’s actually ok to have disagreements with others on this , or as you say “ disputes “ . It’s what these forums are about at times . I’m sorry but since your coming at me you might look in the mirror and consider being less passive in your “ disputes “ on this as I’ve noted that when you “ argue “ with someone you often put a smiley face at the end ! That’s my amateur psychological assessment of you . I’ll get ripped to pieces by the usual suspects on this fir daring to challenge the wise Red ! I don’t care , I get ripped to pieces daily on this . As the old line from a film goes “ don’t let those *******s grind you down “ or “ never let anyone dim your light “ ! Your a decent guy from what I can gather on this so you take care too ! ( if you can read this ) Ta ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only one day but it is still encouraging, especially combined with the continued fall in Hospital/ICU and Deaths. (Those figures are still way off October numbers) Good news !

joondalupjambo Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Ok so we are now looking at Vaccine passport debates. Can anyone confirm how that works for any vaccines that are required at the moment for things like Yellow fever, Polio etc? Is it in paper format? Also if somebody gets vaccinated your health record is updated, and that is in an electronic format for everyone in the UK? I am assuming so. Then I am assuming that at the moment that record is not currently being uploaded to your passport record and then from that record your electronic passport is not being updated, i.e. when you swipe it at point of entry or exit to a country it will not show your vaccine record? I may be wrong. Good if I am. To me if you cannot swipe your passport as the answer to any Covid evidence when going overseas then how would a Covid vaccine be recognised on the point of entry to any country? A paper copy can be scammed, not everyone uses or wants to use a smart phone and even then that level of technology QR codes and bar codes and even apps can be scammed. I am therefore thinking electronic passport swiping is best solution but it will not be available in the short term. Also think about Government IT projects, how drawn out they are and how much they cost. Brexit being a good recent example of needing a new one. Health ones in the past have been problematic. In addition the UK would need to organise any Covid vaccine solutions in relation to evidence with all other countries who ask for it. Nightmare. In the short term paper certificates could be issued but that would have a level of risk. I think politicians are blowing a bit of hot air at the moment about this issue anyway just to make sure more people take up the vaccine. The low level of up take, after all ages have been offered the jab is now looking very high, much higher than people thought it would be according to news reports. By saying you might need evidence, regardless if you will or not gets those wanting an overseas holiday this year worried and potentially up's the vaccine takers numbers.

Pausing and, in far too many cases, ruining perfectly viable lives to maybe extend - but not very well anyway - the lives of people who have had a fair crack of the whip? It was never only about those kinds of people. The sheer scale of susceptibility in the younger, healthier population was always such that lockdowns had to happen to flatten demand on hospitals. Suppression is a regulator of pressure on resources. It's not simply about saving lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjambo Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 The latest 7-day stats. We've reached a milestone today in that the national cases have now been reduced to the point where we were before the festive surge. That reduction is not spread evenly over the councils, some faring better and some worse than they were back then, but overall it's great news. Other good news in the 7-day stats includes the positivity rate dropping to 4.6% and hospitalisations continuing to drop steadily. Deaths and ICU patients are also decreasing but more gradually.

We've reached a milestone today in that the national cases have now been reduced to the point where we were before the festive surge. That reduction is not spread evenly over the councils, some faring better and some worse than they were back then, but overall it's great news. Other good news in the 7-day stats includes the positivity rate dropping to 4.6% and hospitalisations continuing to drop steadily. Deaths and ICU patients are also decreasing but more gradually.

It honestly looked like something from the 40's 🤣 Done for a trip but wouldn't trust having to use it for any meaningful length of time. I'm sure it'll be an app or something this time round tbh.

Paper copies of anything can be scammed and not all people have smart phones if it was an app so how would you see it working? National ID cards? They are talking of adding a feature to the NHS track and trace app. Could take a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Gin Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 1 minute ago, jonesy said: It does matter. Viruses affect different groups of people differently. Governments around the world did two things last Feb/March. First they saw that China had done what totalitarian regimes can get away with. Then, they shat the bed and implemented their own damaging lockdowns. They then posited enough fear from their cherry picked projections to justify the continuation of the lockdown because to do anything otherwise would have been to admit over-reaction in the first place. Or, that's the way I see it. Appreciate others may see it differently. Far more people have contracted CV19, passed it onto equally unsusceptible people, and then recovered - possibly never knowing they've even had the virus. No problem with people receiving treatment, but damaging the majority's lives to save a few doesn't add up for me. Still, the temperature in here appears to be rising, which probably means lockdown is really starting to get to folk, and have a negative impact on their physical and mental health. Won't prod any further on this for the moment to allow folk with different views to return to their cosy bubbles. 'To save a few' 121k deaths and counting. 433k hospitalised.

Oh aye that won't work then because as I said not everyone has a smart phone and even then, mine for instance does not allow the track and trace to down load because of the old operating system. In fairness the UK Government is saying it is "looking" at vaccine passports but they confirmed that this is more in relation to International travel. I await that report with interest but as for not getting into a pub without being vaccinated for example, sorry I just cannot ever see how that would work. We would all need to use something like an electronic National ID cards where we swiped them onto a reader. And that will never happen in my lifetime.
