Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[PhilM]

If people get so unhealthy that they become obese what civil liberties do they need? I'm not stopping them from eating more cakes and sitting around all lazy forever. Locked up for months and eating more is actually what they want.

So the civil liberties someone is allowed should be selected on a criteria?

I am not nor have ever been responsible for forcing food down someone's throat while holding them hostage on a couch for years.

Yet I've had almost everything I enjoy doing taken from me cos theres someone going around force feeding them while strapping them down on a couch. Unusual.

There was a study done years ago. It said that people who are the biggest bullies and critics of overweight people are generally those who are overweight. Those who may have struggled themselves with their weight for many years.

Or maybe a fat person didn't wipe the gym equipment after they used it and triggered you.

Either way you are one vile human being. One of my relatives died from covid. Have some respect. It's not just killing fat people nor is it caused by fat people.

My uncle served his country and was a fit man for someone in his 60's. Unfortunately he had copd from working in steel mills after being around certain chemicals. He was an easy target for the virus.

People with your kind of thinking is why we will live in a different world for a long time to come. With your blatant disregard for others and ridiculous beliefs that its lazy fat people getting us all sick.

I really hope for your sake you are simply winding people up.

ironic that he’s calling the government facist for making him wear a mask to protect others

 

[Moomin]

Gyms, pubs, hair cuts, visiting family and friends, travelling, shopping, eating out...almost everything.

Do you ever stop crying?

Perfectly summed up

I’m alright jack, so you other people can die

what a vile person he is

Sadly coming across as quite immature. I doubt anyone would look upon this year as one that is fulfilling their ambitions at the start of it, but it is what it is, so you suck it up.

And that is the extent of the intelligence of your debate. Good luck with your mask and however high the government tell you to jump next. Just hope you can get off the ground when they crack the whip.

I’m not wearing a mask because those idiots tell me what to do. im doing it because experts don’t know the true impact of this disease and they have said that it might help. I’m using logic (something you clearly lack from your near incoherent ramblings). I’d rather play it safe. Because there are those who might be vulnerable in society. And they may live with people who aren’t. That vulnerable people aren’t necessarily morbidly obese or terminally ill. That it includes people who just happen to be elderly (should they have their liberties impeded? what’s the cut off for you? 60, 70?). Because I’ve known 3 or 4 seemingly healthy young people who have had it and are still suffering from it weeks later. As in months later they can’t function how they did before the virus
I’m doing it to help protect people in health services who are telling us how dangerous it is and how it’s putting wider health care at risk.
I’m doing this, and distancing, because scientists are saying that that is sensible while we try to understand how the virus works. How together, distancing, masks and hand washing can all help the spread.
I don’t trust the shower that are in government as far as I can throw them.
I’m just not a selfish. I can see beyond my own personal circumstances and I’m willing to make short term sacrifices for other people. If it keeps them safe. If it makes them feel safe. Happy to cut my own hair for a bit. Happy to meet friends in a park for a drink instead of the pub. Happy to not see my parents for months and stick to FaceTime.
And I’m not stupid enough to think that this is the same as actual loss of freedom.
It’s grotesque that you think it is. That you consider what is happening right now is actual oppression. It’s the actual definition of privilege. And embarrassing to be honest. you *should* have you civil liberties removed for ignorance. Eugenics works for me on the basis of ignorance.

I despair at some of the comments

You just regurgitate the government line. The percieved wisdom given to the people. Never mind.

And yet you are all knowing and smarter than everyone else. Especially fat people. Have you heard of the Dunning-Kruger effect?
For some reason it’s just popped into my head.

No but I've heard of the placebo effect. Get your mask on everyone and all go back to work and shopping, you're all safe now.

Keep sticking to the speed limit while the government crack their whip.
I don’t need to as I’m a boss driver and have never had an accident.

Some people are just self centred morons smh

I cycle and walk anyway. Better for health.
