Why have China blocked WHO officials access in China?

Same reason our government is ignoring WHO over vaccine spacing. Politics!

If there ever was a Jonah.

I'm not lying though.

You think its all a joke dont you?

Of course I don’t think it’s a joke, I just don’t believe all I read and all the scaremongering, something does not add up.

Just from this thread. Also a post of you saying its just the Flu.

Death of us all.... with this massively killer virus.

get real mate.

100%, the whole thing is an absolute joke.

It is.

Its the Flu.

Whole thing is a joke!

Exactly it’s an absolute joke, your still getting idiots complaining they can’t or haven’t seen their family’s or loved ones because of the government rules.

They make it up as they go along and anyone choosing to follow it to the deprement of their family life or mental well being then more fool you.

Whole thing is a joke.

Inside the Covid ward

All of our patients who die, do so alone. There is nobody to hold their hand. Nobody to comfort them

Good read for any doubters or people who think its all a joke @CharliePotato

Saturday night's Casualty was good... I know it a fictional show, however, as point of fact many of the clinical stories are actually real events collected from many hospitals right across the NHS and presented as easy to follow stories.

And what?

It's real alright, just as consequence in managing this Virus currently we are reducing more usual needs on the NHS. For instance I suspect flu will be less dangerous this season as there has been uptake in vaccine, and also all this social distancing has lessened its ability to spread, you can apply this across many other transferable illnesses and accidents. This is not Chinease or lizard people harvesting, honestly!

Imagine had the entire world just gone into a full 3 week lockdown apart from emergency services - no leaving of the home whatsoever.

Would be extinct by now which shows how stupid humans are / unwilling to collaborate for the sake of the greater good.

Even the underground barbers network?

And what?

You just said you don't think it's a joke, but Moomin has pulled up numerous occasions where you literally called it a joke. Look:

We're just a little bit confused is all

It`s too late to change events
It`s time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy of truth

The world needs to hit them where it hurts, in their pockets.

If everyone stopped buying their goods ( wherever possible ) that`d soon ram the message home to them.

Terrible this, plenty of time to get this in place if another lockdown was needed, and of course most people knew that another lockdown in the height of virus season was inevitable!

Fears schools will be overwhelmed by laptopless pupils

Allowing pupils without laptops into schools could limit the impact of the closures, say head.

For some reason I read those first 4 lines like Boyzone singing "it's not time to make a change, just sit back and take it easy"

I think the song was called Father & Son

Depeche Mode - the Policy of Truth.

Father and Son was originally by Cat Stevens

I always found Cat Steven's version quite unnerving tbh, just never taken to his voice. Ronan on the other hand, good old fashioned warm and friendly next door neighbour one of the lads I'll do your nans shopping for ya pop voice suited the song well.

No real surprise. They’ve ‘disappeared’ or jailed journalists and doctors that attempted to report on the pandemic early last year

Only 4,000 deaths though

Is that just the reporters or everybody
