Bed wetters out in force it seems

once again if you have no medical issues or over 70 then stop worrying lifes too short to be spent in a lockdown over a myth of a virus

thanks for this really valuable post - yes if you aren't going to be at risk of dying from this then you probably don't have anything to fear from it, oh and it doesn't really exist anyway

Fair to say tier three has worked then considering how our cases are going down?

That's debatable.
Cases were going down in most parts of the Liverpool City region ( all bar St Helens ? ) before you went into Tier 3

See it's funny because chief scientific advisory there talking about herd immunity again a day after someone else shared something quite the opposite to be reality. People choose which side to fall on with their opinion.

Taking personal opinions aside however. Perhaps this is the problem , not just here but everywhere. Nobody agrees. Entire scientific communities around the world, experts in their field and nobody seems to agree. Herd immunity isn't possible and yet it is. Masks aren't effective according to WHO but countries are telling their people differently. There's all these cures/ vaccines about the place including more than one in the UK (as the government bought from more than one place) , yet no collaboration , no global coming together to save everyone.

Everything is fragmented, broken and just sums up the world today. The only thing people can agree on is what the virus is, even the source of it is disputed.

Perhaps the problem isn't the virus at all but how the world have reacted to it, how they advise about it and how convoluted everything is. There is no one answer but nobody seems to be trying for one anyway.

Meanwhile the media print horror story and scare lingering every day and people soak the misinformation in again and again. It's almost like the perfect scenario for those wanting to profit in a crisis, fuel the fear through the press and never settle on a solution for everyone to get behind.

When something threatens the entire world and the world doesn't come together, that is a sorry state of affairs.

Bravo sir.

I admire your stamina and dedication mate, lesser men would be half cut on whisky by now.

Makes you wonder what will happen when the vaccine finally arrives ?

Whether the poorer nations will be just left to swing.

This is outrageous talk.

Hundreds dying every day. Families torn apart over deaths. REAL deaths.

It cant be right that you're allowed to call this virus a myth.

It is.

It is.

Is it?

At the heart of it sure , that's stating the obvious. But if there was a competent plan in place 7 months after an outbreak in countries that science agreed on then this wouldn't be anywhere near a problem as it seems to be.

Especially given the government have been found to ignore the scientists recently.

Even if the science on protecting ourselves was all in agreement, and all governments acted in unison, the virus would still be a problem. Less of a problem, but still a major problem. That's why we have to be disciplined and wait for a vaccine roll out.

Hmmm, it can't be long until a nationwide lockdown/tier 3. I can see a 'to save Christmas' narrative.

How you can go to a gym, go shopping for clothes but no go to a pub with table service is mind boggling.

Tier 2 is also pointless and helps no one.

As soon as the numbers started creeping up it was obvious. A full lockdown should have been in force weeks ago.

A pub in Liverpool is selling microwaves and tv's. It's been doing that for years though.

I have started to think it should be all or minimum restrictions.

The 'system' now is ruining industries. A lot of bars/pubs I know in Nottingham actually welcomed tier 3 as they know where they stand, can close and rely on the benefits. They said they were just stuck in limbo beforehand.

People are rightly citing mental health of a full lockdown but it's still as apparent now with all tje uncertainty.
