I wasn't criticising etc, just clarifying, since they don't make it very clear (deliberately so I'm sure).

It would be a long process to make something "law". But if someone is unsure, it's a very easy thing to do, Google it. It is mostly "common sense".
Anyway, still doesn't answer my question: is it because of following said rules or not following that people are being infected?

You fell on your sword for a 4 day late it project.

Are you for real?
No, it’s complete bollocks. You’ll get used to it from REFRY
And so the dehumanisation begins.

I don't know who you, are or what you think I am in that messed up head of yours, or what you think I have done to you but you keep stalking me with slanderous shite, and I will report you. I have been nice and respectful to you. Your shit is not warranted.
I cannot spend 24 hours a day here defending myself from weird slanderous, personally abusive arsewipes like you, I am extremely busy.
This is why we have rules against such things. It is easy to throw out a wild speculative accusation, but hard and extremely time consuming to put them back in the box, only for the response to be something shitty like "he doth protest too much".
Who has time for this shit?
I don't have the time, this is why we have mods. If you don't respect me, don't talk to me, believe me, i'll live.

Cheers.
If one spends one's time posting weirdly hysterical bollocks, one should expect a few raised eyebrows, a few pointed fingers, a few muted sniggers behind hands.

If you are not used to it by now, now is a grand time to start.

I am quite used to Sociopaths sniggering at me, It is what they do, I actually quite enjoy it.
So if I followed you around and randomly accused you of lying, with zero evidence, using every dehumanisation tactic in the book, and not even gawdamned responding, just walking away after shouting liar at you, I imagine you would become quickly pissed off about it too.

Is that how grown ups debate in your world?

Why even bother?

Why not just shout "peadophile" at eachother.

I just said they should all resign, for giving us the highest excess deaths rates in Europe. And for their massive failures. I think it is fair, hardly hysterical, as when I was a public servant I resigned for a lot less.

You don't think so. That's great.
Hardly a statement worthy of blowing up the internet.
Nice chatting with you.
Good luck with your future posting career here and your obvious anger issues.

Mr Stalkee mc'stalk'alot.
It is sociopathic, to accuse people of lying and then sit back when they are forced to defend themselves, and then wander back in without a single fucking apology, to generate even more shit.

Would you describe it as normal, or healthy?

Or downright fucking creepy and obsessive?

Because from where I'm sitting my lovely boy, you are a seriously on the creepy and obsessive side.
Anyway, no time for your shit.
Good day Sir.

Covid 19 and other viruses.

Came across a couple of mentions of Covid 19 setting off peoples previously dormant Epstein Barr .

Any one heard anything similar?
Any links to Shingles as well?

Covid19 puts your immune system on high alert. Other conditions are likely to flair up.

Basically it’s a proper cnut of a virus.

Hey Bud, it’s non of my business but this isn’t going well. You have made some good points ; some will say fair enough and some won’t. Bottom line is this is an Internet forum so it’s inevitable that things won’t go how you want them to. You probably won’t welcome my opinion but, fwiw, you seem an intelligent, eloquent and opinionated guy so have a lot to offer to a forum like this - please don’t get sucked into that old shitfight.

So the government has given us the highest excess death rate in Europe, on our island, how come, after their serious mass incompetence, we haven't had mass resignations?
How come they are still allowed to just stay in positions of power and bullshit us on a daily basis?
Where is the accountability?
I once resigned from a government job because I was 4 days late on a deadline for a database I was doing.
My department was even chewed up and spat out by gleeful delighted conservatives, on the floor of the National Assembly of Wales.

That was my extreme harsh, life altering reality, even in a lowly temp position, fresh out of college, how come it isn't theirs when they do a series of massive fuck ups, that are a thousand times worse?
How is it we all live by different sets of rules, rules of honour responsibility and integrity that are actually seriously life changing for us, and they don't. They just carry on like nothing has happened, on to the next fuck up.
It is that that pisses me off the most.


Thought I would try this again, because last time everyone lost their f'king minds.

Are these 90 minute tests a big deal?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co ... k-53632043

They seem to suggest so. Idea being to test those without symptoms.

I guess the trouble with this virus is that many youth (and yes they’re the main spreaders now) don’t often exhibit symptoms. So it’s like an invisible wild fire in your village/town/city.

One of them is the spit test they have been trialling in Southampton?
I've always thought rapid simple tests would be the way to go, be great if it works out. We need millions and millions of them. And maybe Billions

So in answer to my own question I asked earlier, it does seem that people are mostly infected by not following the rules.

That brain frying shit? I have quite a few clients using the stuff and it is bloody difficult to get them off it - and get them to do much when they are under the influence, so to speak.

I had it after one of my back surgeries and I power chucked past the end of the bed.

Oxycontin is worse! Took me 4 weeks to come off it after I had been on it for 3 months following sceptic arthritis in my knee and had a couple of ops to clean it out. I was on the lowest dose as well. It enabled me to start rehab early but a bugger to stop taking. Now clean!

90 Minute tests or any kind of test that can give a result in a very short time with reasonable accuracy would go a long way to get the virus under control. The more people you can test in a short space of time, the easier it will get to isolate hotspots and take action, as well as identify the asymptomatic carriers.

If you can get an AIDS home test that works in 30 minutes with reasonable accuracy, there is no reason not to get a decent working COVID test that do the same, depending how much attention is put into making one.

My opinion is that the reason it is so difficult to get control over the virus is because the duration of testing and amount of testing done falls well below what is needed. So currently it is to easy for 2nd waves or flare ups to occur,

The DNANudge test claims a high degree of accuracy and has been in use in 8 hospitals in London since April
the chip includes a control assay for human RNA, which eliminates “false negative” results by testing for inadequate swabbing. Trials comparing COVID Nudge against several NHS laboratory results indicated 98% sensitivity and 100% specificity.

To my knowledge, their vaccines cannot be further ahead than the oxford study. They can start giving it to people earlier, and not doing the long term trials, but that doesn't make it smart to do.
