CV and mad panic behaviour

[madbluboy]

We made the ridiculous target and we're still in lockdown.

[LP]

The target is irrelevant, it's an arbitrary number designed to get people to understand they need to modify their behaviour under the new normal and act a certain way to allow the medical professionals to manage the situation.

But the flogs and microchip vaccine nutters are going to ruin things for everybody, they are even giving the Karens and Coreys a bad name, and we will all be stuck in this cycle of lock down for weeks or months.

If someone doubts this to be true, they need to explain away what is now happening in some of those European locations which were held up as golden examples of liberty and now have cases doubling as warned by most none political authorities. Pretty much every graph you can find for the Northern hemisphere shows a curve climbing except perhaps the death rate which is flattening, but that doesn't mean people aren't seriously harmed by a moderate or serious case of COVID, it just means medicos are getting better at helping people live through it one form or another!

No it's true....We took the test. ;D

Yes and I started counseling on Friday.

Yep,  the old chestnut "I didn't know I had to stay at home and isolate" would have met with a different response elsewhere.

What did Solzhenitskyn write EB... "not happy with the bread ration comrade?  How about 9 grams? "

In the case of the EPIC school in Preston, DHHS fed the infected child's parent the wrong info.

Not a surprise, DHHS giving wrong info.  When our Kinder had to close and some of us needed tests, we got all sorts of things, none of it right, which wasted buckets of time on the phone.  This includes our first contact from DHHS to get tested about 10 days after they were notified of a case and one day before our quarantine was up, because Kinder advised kids to get tested.

Not defending anyone in particular, before the nutters launch into rhetoric.

I suppose it depends how quickly the virus develops and people actually become infectious, it's not instantaneous like the media portray. It takes days and days for virus to build up enough in an exposed and infected person to be at detectable levels, for most types of tests except PCR, and about the same length of time before they become infectious. Of course not all people exposed to virus become infected.

Also, the evidence was originally hinting that children are less likely to get infected and less likely to spread the infection, the jury is still out on whether that is the case, but it is now clear  that some children who get infected can suffer bad effects from it.

Are you trying to impersonate the female reporters?

Question has been answered repeatedly. Pay attention, or stay silent.

LP - It was a dog's breakfast for the Kinder and kids determined as close contacts.  Dates and advice were all over the shop and contact from DHHS to us was well outside their guidelines.  It was administrative, not anything else.  I have deleted texts, but included (amongst other things) that our quarantine period would start from before the case was diagnosed.

No agenda here, either - just what happened.

Is that how women are supposed to behave?

I've no doubt that was your genuine experience.

But as an outside observer, you'd be asking me to blame a process that involves people, and in my experience any process that relies on people as a subjective source of information is inherently corrupt. People are the weak link and just report the wrong information, whether it's deliberate or not!

You only have to look at the recent approval for Remdesivir as an example, all the recently completed major studies report it has no positive real world effect in treating COVID, yet Trump's apparently corrupt takeover of the CDC has resulted in it's broad approval for COVID use.
