Mind when you said you don't hate and I did a quick search and came up with hundreds of your posts talking about what you hate?

 

 

I find it staggering me saying that tbh.  I assume it would just have been to generate debate but I can tell you categorically I do hate.  I hate many people.

Think you need a new dentist. I was in yesterday for a check up and a scale and polish. 

 

Had a wisdom tooth out at the hospital a month or so ago. 

Are you private or NHS?

I know a lot of dentists are putting NHS patients on hold

NHS. There's another dentist near me that's only recently just started taking on NHS patients again after not taking any on for a while though.

 

I did get the impression they were coming to the end of the backlog and starting to get some normality back. It is a very small practice though so maybe I'm just lucky in that sense. I've not really had an issue and had my check ups as normal. Didn't mind having my root canal delayed last year at the start of first lockdown!

Nope, you were denying that you hate, called it a waste of energy IIRC. It was as true as you saying your mind is always open, yet you like to accuse others of virtue signalling.

My mind is always open, in this case I see no true evidence that the entire 'pandemic' is the reality to what you see on MSM.  It talks like we are leaving our houses and stepping over corpses in the street.  Walking around in the Chernobyl air will kill.  It simply is not the case.

 

Almost everything we have been told is not the case.  At the start it was hospitals are overflowing - this was never the case. It is a virus that only really truly affects those with underlying health problems.  Every healthy man woman and child on the planet has been locked down.  No one is dying FROM it they are dying with it or having had it - notice the wording has evolved over time in the media.

 

Notice how it is always:

 

"experts say"

 

"scientists warn"

 

Government findings suggest"

 

Who are these people?

 

Are you happy that children are not being educated, small businesses are not operating, people are not working, industries are collapsing, people are killing themselves, mental health is decreasing, people are not being treated in dentists and hospitals like we used to? Are you happy that we are walking about like clones and government drones? Are you happy about social distancing? Are you happy that life is utterly shite now for a virus that 99.97% of people are at no risk from?

 

Covid will always have new variants – the flu has 30,000 different ones a year – these things mutate.  It is time to live with it.  It is clear you are happy being controlled and that is up to you – but the majority for sure now I think want to move on.  What you do with your life is up to you, I think you would ask how high if the little dictator asked you to jump but I am not playing their game anymore.  I should own my own risk, not you and not the government.

 

Billionnaires seem to be thriving right now as the 99% of the plebs on the planet are toiling.  Do you think it is just co-incidence that the whole climate change bollocks is being rolled out in harmony with this?

 

Imo we are being conned - it is all one big gigantic global hoax.  You bash on tho and think of this if you may - all your precautions and actions make you no more or less safe than me with this nonsense.  Having a zillion jabs makes no difference.

Just to cheer everybody up another drop of 15 in hospital from yesterday down to 576 and down another 5 in ICU only 38 now. hopefully figures keep on a downward trend. 

Good news yet again.  it tends to sink without trace on this thread though. But thanks for that info.

Phoned up to get a check up as it’s way over due,  told they will be back in touch after the year and that they will phone me.  No been for two years now 

 

Its the same nhs dentist I’ve been at since I was a child (51) now 

 

I bet if I was to phone up some private place and pay ££££ I’d get seen the next day 

Yes private dentists are raking it in.  NHS are just doing the basics.

It's the Guardian it needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.

 

They also did a similar article on that 42 year old superfit, bodybuilder guy with "no underlying conditions" who died unvaccinated.

 

Conveniently for their agenda they never mentioned the guy had the underlying condition of asthma.

Yes the Guardian is very grim now. Unsure when it shat the bed regarding covid but its been a while. These human interest stories often don't tell the full story unless you critically read it. The headlines are often very misleading. It was in that ladies case.

I don't know what stats you are looking at, but the latest NRS weekly stats seem to show that the average age of those dying from Covid is lower now than earlier in the pandemic. It may be a statistical blip for this week only, but 70% of deaths have occurred in over 75s throughout the duration of the pandemic. That figure was down to 47% in the latest week. (possible impact of boosters?)

 

Deaths by age group	Week 47		% this week	% since the pandemic started
Under 1 year	0		0%	0%
01-14	0		0%	0%
15-44	2		2%	1%
45-64	16		16%	11%
65-74	34		35%	17%
75-84	25		26%	32%
85+	20		21%	38%

I think I will stick with the NRS stats rather than those quoted by Andrew Bridgen.

 

I'd be highly surprised if any recent analysis would give him the level of detail he quotes about the number of co-morbidities and the vaccination status of those who have died in recent weeks.

[Dennis Denuto]

The answer from a pandemic aspect is for everyone to take up the vaccinations they have been and will be offered. Reducing deaths in the elderly, reducing serious illness and reducing transmission (with it the numbers of people isolating) is all achieved through vaccination. If you want life to be normal again then saying that healthy people don't need to get vaccinated doesn't cut it - they do.

 

I am not demonising the unvaccinated or saying they are selfish, but I am also not moaning about dentists/waiting times/mental health etc etc

 

The solution to almost all the issues surrounding the pandemic now are for everyone to get vaccinated.

Had on!

 

First I had to sing happy birthday while washing my hands.

Then I had to avoid my friends.

After that I had make it more difficult to breathe by wrapping my face in a mask.

Subsequently, I had to stop smearing green paint all over my loved ones.

Finally I had to get a vaccine.

 

Enough!

 

 

That is perhaps the first correct thing you have posted on this thread!! 

 

(PS you may have to get a few vaccines, but that is just to boost all the green paint shareholders that lost out, they were given options in Big Pharma)

The instructions weren't clear, so I ended up wrapping my loved ones in face masks and smearing them in maroon paint while singing happy birthday - omitting all the plosive consonants, of course -  while on a Zoom call to my friends. 

That sounds far more Covid compliant than you actually were, if only No 10 were as thoughtful.....

Leitch was coming out with this (buys us time) shit again 

The same shit he came out with with the circuit breaker stuff last year 

 

 

Total doom and gloom....reporter was even trying to get him to say that we won’t be allowed to travel out our own area again in lead up to Christmas

The thing that football may have in it's favour is the winter break coming up just after a "circuit breaker" created by schools, universities and some businesses having extended Christmas and New Year holidays.

Old firm fixture coming along soon too. A bit unpopular to suddenly restrict attendances for that one. 

It wouldn't surprise me though.
