Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

We shouldn't be selling it to them, we should see it explained to them and then enforced upon them.

After all, it's not like we haven't had 126,000 people die in the last 12 months and the vast majority of people wouldn't 'get' the call to ride it out for another 2 months.

But you have said Vaccines wont help.

So there's no point waiting.

So it took four years for 150K people to die from the Flu but only just over one year for 126K people to die from Covid. Not really proving to us that this is nothing there matey.

Anyway Avril you will be back in the 'mall' in the not to distant future.

150k is 10 years of flu deaths.

Honestly haven't ever looked. Just rushed in to tell that idiot he's not really proving anything and didn't even realise how obscene his numbers are!

ATAGI statement on AstraZeneca vaccine in response to new vaccine safety concerns

A statement from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) on the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine in response to new vaccine safety concerns.

A statement from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) on the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine in response to new vaccine safety concerns. ATAGI notes further evidence of a rare but serious side effect involving thrombosis (clotting) with thrombocytopenia (low blood platelet count) following receipt of COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca

• ATAGI recommends that the COVID-19 vaccine by Pfizer (Comirnaty) is preferred over COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca in adults aged under 50 years. This recommendation is based on the increasing risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19 in older adults (and hence a higher benefit from vaccination) and a potentially increased risk of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia following AstraZeneca vaccine in those under 50 years.
• COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca can be used in adults aged under 50 years where the benefits are likely to outweigh the risks for that individual and the person has made an informed decision based on an understanding of the risks and benefits.
• People who have had the first dose of COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca without any serious adverse effects can be given the second dose, including adults under 50 years.

Tbh the whole COVID pandemic has made me understand seasonal flu better and realize how many deaths due to it over the years (whilst obviously less than COVID) have been a senseless waste.

Especially since seasonal flu affects kids badly I’m perhaps naively hopeful that we don’t go back to prepandemic rates of seasonal flu via things like better hygiene, more uptake of flu jab and even perhaps some mask use.

Amazing isnt it.

But im very old and I've never known anybody who has died of Flu, which is a bit crazy.

1. People lost family members to the flu, diabetes, dementia meningitis and many other diseases through the years, tens and tens of thousands - 51 thousand died of the flu in England and wales in 2018 - check the PHE statistics. and that is just January.

Where was all the scaremongering? should we take a minutes silence now

2. Not even 400 people who were not ill over over 60 died from covid from 70 million, the figure is more like 380 people - why on earth do people need unapproved jabs issued under a NDA? Han.cock is covered but anyone else is not. This delightful chap also took home over 1 million from the track and trace fiasco, himself and the Government are just making idiots of everyone, like on here

3. Over 150 thousand died of the flu from 2015 to 2019 and there was none of this nonsense - Goodison park was full every other week and shopping malls were actually a thing

4. Nightingale Hospital, purposely built for covid but unused, contrary to popular belief by another poster its not a pub and closed for lockdown, its just not taken up with covid patients

Wake up covid is over. Snap out of it and get out of the bubble you lot are in

It looks like the covid jab revolt is in full swing, but its ok, keep up with the middle fingers

It is OK to be ignorant but it is dangerous to be vocally stupid.

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

So we cant hang on another 2 months to avoid another catastrophe?

There is definitely logic to waiting.

Do you mean Oxford Uni, Dave?

They are the producers who chose the supermarket to preserve, package and distribute their goods.
